This giveaway has ended. Congrats to our winners: Kari H., Karen C. & Julia T.
Weeknight dinners in this household are always a bit of a struggle. I like to feed my family good, wholesome food. But, everyone has an opinion on what good and wholesome looks like. And so I find myself as short on patience as I am on time. I need a win once in a while.
I recently received a copy of a new cookbook, Cooking Light Dinnertime Survival Guide: Feed Your Family. Save Your Sanity.
Ding ding ding, we have a winner.
Author Sally Kuzemchak is a well-reviewed cookbook author and registered dietitian. But more importantly she is a mom…a busy mom…she just get’s it.
This book tackles the reasons we can’t get a meal together at night. And, it offers some tasty recipes with pictures. Can I tell you how much I need pictures?! In this cookbook you’ll find:
- Smart Advice: Hard-won kitchen wisdom from mom, registered dietician and Columbus, OH based author Sally Kuzemchak as well as other expert moms from around the country who help tackle the “never ending assignment” we know as dinner.
- Mealtime Tricks: Dinnertime offers several “tricks” to put in place to help make you better at cooking for your family. For example, if you usually plate food in the kitchen, start serving meals family-style. You’ll find it a simple change but one that will empower your family and make them receptive to new things.
- Tasty Recipes: 150 recipes that are doable no matter what predicament you’re in and that your whole family will eat including “Rosemary Oven Fried Chicken,” “Spring Vegetable Carbonara,” “Shortcut Chicken Soup,” “Stovetop Macaroni and Cheese” – all easy and healthy thanks to Cooking Light testing and perfecting them.
- Solutions for the Top 10 Challenges: Hectic schedules, picky eaters, you cant cook, stuck in a food rut, your boss is coming to dinner? Sally has these and any issue covered.
- Must Haves: Sally lists the staples to have on hand so by the end of the week you don’t feel tempted to order take-out, how to easily keep track of what you use and dont use, how to get creative when duty calls and more.
I am so pleased to say that THREE lucky KCM readers will win a copy of this cookbook. So save your sanity and enter below!

This cookbook would be great as I have the same problem at my house as far as what “good” and “wholesome” actually mean.
I can use all the cooking assistance I can get! My hubby enjoys cooking; simply said, I do not. If this provides shortcuts and helpful hints…I’m all over it!

My biggest obstacle to feeding your family is that I like food, food with flavors, and they like dry, boring, bland with no sauce.
My biggest challenge was adding new recipes to the weekly routine that were easy, healthy and tasty…but then I discovered Wildtree Freezer Meals and they changed everything!!

Never seem to have enough time. If I’m low on ingredients, I have to run through a grocery suite with hungry kids, cert home, too late to start cooking… So, fast food again.

My biggest challenge to feeding my family is the amount of time it takes on a weeknight to prepare a meal I feel good about serving. Even if I HAVE time on the weekend to prep and stock up meals in the freezer, it still seems like there’s just not enough time after school and work!
