As a mom of four who is juggling healthy eating, particular eaters, and many extracurricular schedules, I rely on resources like this cookbook to help keep healthy eating top of mind. Amanda's cookbook is simple, effective, and provides so many great nutrition tidbits for children of all ages! --Katie Caputo Serbinski, MS, RD, creator of Mom to Mom Nutrition I have a busy but health-conscious family, and I'm always looking for simple recipes that everyone in the family will enjoy. This cookbook has it all--snacks, apps, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even desserts that are made with simple ingredients and can be thrown together quickly on a busy weeknight. A few favorite recipes so far: orange chicken, hummus, and chocolate banana waffles. I really enjoyed the quick tips for getting kiddos involved, too! Truly a great addition for those looking for healthy and affordable family-friendly recipes. --Amber Battishill, blogger, mommygonehealthy.com Amanda Hernandez has compiled an amazing variety of easy-to-cook recipes in my new go-to cookbook. Her easy-to-follow, concise directions; easy-to-find ingredients; and short ingredient lists help to make this new cookbook OUTSTANDING. The recipes are nutritious, appealing, and easy to double or triple. Amanda adds fun variations to most recipes. And she is accurate in her claim of getting a great meal on the table in 30 minutes.

I'm definitely going to give many, many copies of 30-Minute Family Cookbook as gifts as well as use it for myself and my family of hungry teenage boys. --Kristine Sickles, Amazon reviewer
