What We Had For Dinner: Balanced dinners made from real food- for real families, real schedules and real cravings. This Book is the perfect balance between healthy and realistic Paperback – August 8, 2025

(This is the paperback version of the book, I really highly suggest getting the hard cover for better printing quality from Amazon KDP.)I’ve always loved eating healthy, but once I became a mom, I realized getting a balanced dinner on the table—that everyone will actually eat—is a whole different game. With three kids (including a couple picky eaters), I got tired of cooking two separate meals every night just to make everyone happy.This cookbook is the sweet spot I found between healthy and realistic. It’s full of 30–minute dinners that are simple, satisfying, and made with fresh ingredients—without feeling like “diet food.” These are the meals I make for my own family week after week. Some are longtime favorites from my blog, and some are brand new, but they all have one thing in common: they’re easy to make and even easier to love.You’ll find chicken, steak, shrimp, salmon, pork, turkey, and ground beef recipes with full nutritional info and easy swaps if you’ve got a picky eater in the house. (If one of my kids doesn’t like something, I’ll sub in a different protein or veggie without overthinking it. You’ll see that flexibility throughout this book.)My hope is that these recipes help you find your own balance—whatever that looks like for your family—and make dinnertime just a little bit easier.
