Get Your Family Back to the Table

I love the The Great American Supper Swap because it helps families once again gather around the table for dinner--with less stress. Chock full of practical advice, real-life stories, and huge helpings of encouragement, this book serves as a valuable addition to a mom's hectic life.

Solution for family dinner preparation

This book shows you how to set up supper swapping with a few friends; all the information you want is right here. The author has a friendly style and makes it easy and fun, and includes recipes I plan to try, like "poppy seed chicken" and "Mandarin salad" and has a wonderful section "The ministry of meal making", with tips on how to use supper swapping as a ministry, and for building friendships. She uses supper swapping to create family togetherness at meals, includes meal time prayers, and quotes for every family like "Teach a child to love and you have blessed the world." Supper swapping is a great concept, and the author has written an entertaining and practical book.

It's easy to identify with her and see that you, too, can successfully have a Supper Swap. The concept is explained well and there are even recipes to get you started!

SIMPLIFYING DINNERS FOR BUSY MOM'S LIFESTYLE

In our modern, hurry-up-and-go culture, eating family meals together is quickly evolving into a fast-food frenzy on wheels. Many moms have given up trying to create home-cooked dinners, further contributing to the breakdown of the family. Yet kids pay the highest price of all, since poor nutrition can lead to obesity, eating disorders, and dependence on peers for role modeling. Author Trish Berg has a solution for you: supper swapping! In this practical and fun book, she shares her story of how she connected with a local group of moms to simplify mealtime madness. With a dash of humor, Trish shows readers how to form a supper swapping group where you'll only need to cook once a week! Then your family will receive stress-free dinners delivered to your front door the rest of the week. Trish makes it seem so simple! The book contains dozens of tried-and-true supper swapping recipes, which can be looked up easily using the index. Each chapter also includes scripture, prayer, and "potluck activities" for groups, making it a user-friendly hospitality guide for today's busy moms. I'm excited about this book and hope to start a supper swapping group with a few friends. This book simplifies the task most of us dread -- and offers a fun way for moms to connect and help each other out! -- Mom 2 Mom Connection

applauding a busy mom!

This is a great book, and a great idea!! I'm a preschool teacher's aide, and over the years have spoken to many moms who find themselves stressing over their juggling of schedules, too often succumbing to a dinner at McDonald's!!! I've told some about the supper swapping idea, and they want to know more--I will certainly be recommending the book!!
