Every Day with Babs: 101 Family-Friendly Dinners for Every Day of the Week: A Cookbook Hardcover – April 8, 2025

Feeding My Family Just Got So Manageable!!!I can’t tell you how much I cherish this cookbook!! As a working mom of 2 kids, I not only got so many awesome, tasty recipes, but so also got a friendly guide to get me through it! The personal anecdotes, extremely relatable challenges AND solutions with theme a for each day of the week and fan pics (the station wagon!) literally have me over the moon.I adore her!! Chefs kiss!!! My kids and I made the sushi bake tonight, and it was so simple, delicious and hearty we had a lovely night with plenty of leftovers. Thank you!!

I just love Babs. She is truly the internet’s grandma. Loved her first cookbook for how simple and delicious the recipes were. So when I saw her second cookbook was coming out I pre-ordered right away. It did not disappoint. It’s a gorgeous book and high quality. Love how the recipes are organized by the week. It will be great for meal planning. Lots of recipes that are healthy and lots that my kids will eat. What I love most is that everything is simple and not overly complicated. All ingredients I can easily find. Excited to dive into the recipes!

Babs became my internet Mom during the Lockdown. Her "just in case your mother didn't teach you" hints, tips, and recipes brought life and joy back to my kitchen during a really hard season. Her Every Day cookbook brings that same loving, warm spirit to simple, delicious recipes. She's broken them down into daily categories and left us anecdotes that remind us that she's been where we are now and is giving us tools to help us succeed in having family dinner that even busy working parents can get on the table.If you've loved Babs on social media, this cookbook is everything that you would hope it would be. If you've met Babs through her cookbook, I highly encourage you to go and watch the videos that she and her family post. They bring just a little more joy and wisdom to our daily lives.

I love Babs, but the book was not for me. Ideal for a new cook who wants to prepare crowd pleasing meals. I tried a few recipes. They were all good starting points, but needing jazzing up IMO. I gave this to a friend who really appreciates it!

My first love is God, my second is my family, and my third is food!! This cookbook is the PERFECT combination of simple, yet fun recipes to make. As a mom to a busy and picky toddler and a newborn, this cookbook was my gift to myself freshly postpartum! There are few things I enjoy more than cooking for my family, but it is hard to always find the time to cook an elaborate meal. These recipes are the perfect balance of simple, yet enjoyable to cook. I LOVE that the recipes don’t require too much “hands on” work once it’s in the pot/oven. With a toddler and newborn, I need to be able to step away from dinner to tend to them once in a while. No standing over a stove Caramelizing onions for me these days! Not only are the recipes delicious, they fill my “self care” cup of enjoying a hobby and feeding my family. My picky eater has even enjoyed almost every recipe I’ve made so far! Thank you for creating a cookbook tailored to meet me exactly where I’m at in this beautiful, busy stage of life!

If dinner time has ever stressed you out THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU!!! The layout of the book is GENIUS!! Every recipe is a winner - I already had my three kids flag their favorites and there is a tag on every single page. So far in just three days we've tried the Roasted sausage peppers & Gnocchi (a sheet pan meal in Mondays chapter pg 25) , Grammies chicken Cutlets (in the batch cooking chapter in the Tuesday Chapter pg 53) , Minivan Pepperoni pizza chicken (in the one pot one skillet section in Wednesdays chapter pg 83) I used the chicken cutlets instead of the chicken in the recipe which worked out great since we had extras! and her famous chocolate chip cookies pg 234 which were OFF THE CHARTS. EACH RECIPE was super easy, delicious, easy clean up and I learned so much along the way. I love how Babs teaches you through her cooking style - she even included all her tips and tricks from a lifetime of experience. This book is truly a warm hug. 5 stars!!

I originally checked this book out from my public library, but discovered there are so many great recipes, that I had to own it. The author really understands the challenges of getting dinner on the table after a busy day, and offers numerous solutions to the question, “what’s for dinner?” in a delicious and creative way. Her cutlet recipe alone is worth the cost of the book. Make these on repeat often, and they are a family favorite!

Babs is “America’s grandmother” and just as adorable in her cookbook as she is on Instagram. I love the backstory she shares on the recipes, she’s just a delight! Every recipe has an amazing photograph of the dish, and the recipe nicely fits on the adjacent page. (So you know what you’re about to cook and can show your kids “what’s for dinner!”) She stresses the importance of family dinners - making meals and memories together. She was a preschool teacher and director, and shares some “tips and tricks” to getting your littles to stay at the table for dinner! I just got the book and haven’t cooked anything YET but plan to do so ASAP! I know she was/is a busy mom of 4 and if Babs says these recipes are doable for my busy family - then BABS I BELIEVE YOU!!!
