The Dinner Diaries: Raising Whole Wheat Kids in a White Bread World

THE DINNER DIARIES is Family Circle magazine's Book Pick of the Month for September! (Thank you, Family Circle editors.)

My next appearance will be at Fresh Pond Whole Foods in Cambridge, Mass., on Saturday, September 6 from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. I'll be signing books at their Whole Kids' Day event. If you're in the area, come say hi.

And I'm very grateful that Algonquin Books printed The Dinner Diaries on recycled stock with 30% post-consumer content.

From Algonquin Books
A harried married mother of two, Betsy Block is in pursuit of the perfect family meal: local, toxin-free, humane, and healthful. But soon she finds herself in a mealtime maze beset by conflicting, often unrealistic advice, and further complicated by two picky kids and a finicky husband. Determined not to give up the good-food fight, she comes up with a creative ten-step makeover plan. She consults experts, visits farms, and overcomes the pitfalls, struggles, and triumphs of eating well when busy schedules, surreptitious lunch trades, snack machines, permissive grandparents, and willful temptations intervene.

The Dinner Diaries is for any family who wants to change they way they eat - one forkful at a time.
