The Dinner Fix: Cooking for the Rushed

50 FAST, DELICIOUS, and COMPLETE DINNERS

Everyone knows that time equals money, and no one knows it more than those responsible for feeding a busy family. Sandi Richard is North America's foremost meal planner, and it's no wonder: She is passionate about getting families back to the dinner table. She should know; she raised seven children of her own.
She and her husband, Ron, put everything on the line 10 years ago to share Sandi's passion. They took all of their own experience feeding a family and combined it with a 5-year study of meals from other busy families. Then they self-published Sandi's first meal-planning book. Released in 1999, it was followed by two more books in the Cooking for the Rushed series.
The reaction was immediate, strong, and grateful. Here was a savvy, funny, organized, experienced voice to provide a simplified weekly meal plan. She provided grocery lists, prep times, and cooking times as well. With Sandi Richard by your side, you'll never find yourself in that dreaded spot: It s 5 p.m., and you have no idea what to feed your family for dinner.

The Dinner Fix is Sandi's latest contribution to the happiness and health of families everywhere. The book boasts 10 weeks of balanced recipes and meal plans that include grocery and equipment lists. In addition, color-coded recipes help you match each meal to your life each night from hectic weeknights to days when there is extra time to devote to cooking and eating. Each meal has its own photograph (a helpful preparation tool) and nutritional information, from the amount of fiber to diabetic food exchanges.

Bring Sandi Richard into your kitchen so you can spend less time in it, turning the stress of making dinner into a deeply delicious event each day for you and your family. (The Dinner Fix and The Family Dinner Fix are the same book. The Dinner Fix revised version is the most recent printing.)
