Synopsis:

This daily, family - faith and food-themed devotional is delightfully unique!  For every recipe (one for every day of the year), there is a family-friendly dinnertime devotional as well. Each reading is themed to appeal to your family--with topics like priorities, prayer, encouragement, love, and dozens more. 

Bonus material includes creative ideas and inspiration for getting the entire family around the dinner table each night of the week, plus a categorized recipe index will help you easily locate your family's favorite dishes. 

365 Family Dinners and Devotions Cookbook is truly a celebration of  family, faith and food! 

My first reaction upon reviewing the recipes in this book was, "Wow, there is something in here for everyone!"  The recipes range from appetizers to salads, main course dishes, side dishes and desserts. They are all simple, homey recipes that just invite you to sit down and enjoy them time and again. They are definitely recipes my family and I will enjoy!

The devotionals that accompany the recipes for each day of the year are well written, to the point and provide a wonderful opportunity for a family to share and explore God's love and plan for each of us. The devotional topics are family oriented and able to be discussed during dinner time. The initial reading of the daily devotional for all the family to hear takes less than five minutes. 

Another bonus are the family dinner time tips interlaced throughout this book. I found them to be practical, helpful and very informative!

This book is a wonderful resource for bringing faith, fun and meaning to the family dinner table. 365 Family Dinners and Devotions is wonderful gift for yourself and your family and would make a fantastic gift for others as well!

Hotel Transylvania - Really Good Movie!

We hadn't been to a movie as a family in a long time so  a few weeks ago we went to see Hotel Transylvania at our dollar movie theater.   I figured, a movie for a dollar each is not such a bad deal.

Often, I'll watch a movie with the kids and it'll be okay  or have a few bright spots in it but we all agreed (which is rare for us - LOL) that this movie was fantastic!

I laughed myself silly and enjoyed it tremendously. The boys and their Dad enjoyed it so much that they re-watched it again about a week later when I was working.  They said they enjoyed watching it the second time as much as they did the first time.

This is definitely a good movie!
