Disney FamilyFun Makes the Evening Meal Fun and Easy with a Special Collector’s Issue: “Dinnertime!”

Disney FamilyFun magazine always has great ideas for creative things that families can do together. In fact, I’ve printed many of their holiday ideas on this blog in the past! Now, Disney FamilyFun has released a very special collector’s issue called Dinnertime! It’s filled with more than 98 easy recipes for meals you can make for (and with) your family. Each chapter solves a common problem in many households, such as:



Picky-Eater Pleasers
Eat More Veggies
Cheap Eats
30-Minute Meals
Break Out of Your Rut

There’s also a chapter with recipes that are easy for you to do with your children (Kids in the Kitchen) and a chapter of meals you can take out for parties, picnics and potlucks (Take It to Go). This special edition is filled with beautiful, full-color photos and a “Handy-Dandy Index.” Bonus pages include a side dish finder, dinner-hour crafts (try some Napkin Origami!), tips for encouraging little helpers, games and coupons for the dinner table, and even conversation starters!

Look at the titles of some of their yummy recipes:

Fab Fish Fingers (with Homemade Tartar Sauce)
Mexican Cheese Fondue
Invent-Your-Own Quiche
Football Turnovers
Peanut Butter Noodles

The editors at Disney FamilyFun really thought of everything to make your dinnertimes easy, enjoyable and worry-free! You can find Dinnertime! at newsstands or online at www.familyfun.com/dinnertime. When you order the print edition online, you get the digital edition for free! This makes it really easy to share these terrific recipes and ideas with family and friends. I think this will become your favorite resource for dinnertime planning!
