Product Description
Written by Liz Weiss and Janice Newell Bissex --- the dietitians behind the popular cooking blog, Meal Makeover Moms’ Kitchen --- the book features 150 easy-to-make, family-friendly recipes as well as 50 moms’ secrets for getting picky eaters to try new foods. Every recipe in No Whine with Dinner was tested by moms and tasted by kids. With recipes like Smiley Face Casserole, Grab-and-Go Granola Bars, Piping-Hot Peanut Butter Soup, Fruity Chicken Kebabs, Sweet Brussels Sprouts, and Twice Baked Super Spuds, the dietitian duo aims to bring fun flavors and better nutrition to families everywhere. After the publication of their first cookbook, The Moms’ Guide to Meal Makeover and the launch of their website, MealMakeoverMoms.com, Weiss and Bissex established themselves as two of the nation’s leading experts on family nutrition. The idea for No Whine with Dinner came from a survey of nearly 600 moms who identified “picky eaters who whine and complain” as the number one obstacle to getting their children to eat healthy, well-balanced meals. Filled with beautiful photographs of their recipes --- breakfast, lunch box, soups, slow cooker, casseroles, snacks, and desserts --- and adorable photos of the hundreds of kids who tested their recipes, No Whine with Dinner is a must-have cookbook for families who crave flavor as well as good health.

Perfect for a Busy, health-conscious mom like me!, Oct 26 2010
By Jennifer M. Ohlendorf - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: No Whine with Dinner (Paperback)
I got this book 2 weeks ago, and I've already made several recipes from here! They're healthy, tasty and easy to make. What more is there to say? I have 3 children 6 and under, and they ate everything I made--and they've picked a few more recipes out of the photo section they want to try! If you get this book and haven't checked out their website, blog, and podcast--you must do that immediately. I bring things I make from their first book to events all the time and get tons of complements. These Moms have made our life healthier--they can do it for you too!

What a wonderful surprise!, May 23 2011

I received this cookbook as a gift and was at first skeptical about making any of the recipes. Growing up eating and preferring Asian food, I thought to myself that I wouldn't find aything I would like in this book since it wasn't an Asian cookbook.My 3 children convinced me to give some of the recipes a try. (Later I found out that my children had an ulterior motive. You see, they were tired of eating Asian food all the time.) They each picked out several recipes and we tried one or two a week. What a pleasant surprise we all soon discovered!
Our family never really liked lasagna since it was always too heavy whenever we ordered it. We also don't eat alot of dairy products. My family loves the 'Chock Full O Veggies Lasagna' with bechmael sauce. It has the right balance of creaminess to it without it being too dense and heavy. Even the grandparents, who would never touch lasagna before, love it too.
Another favorite is the 'Piping Hot Peanut Butter Soup'. The recipe title threw me off at first but my son who loves peanut butter insisted that we try making it. We can't get enough of this soup and you don't even realize there is peanut butter in it. As the recipe says the taste is hard to describe. This soup is truly delicious!
This cookbook includes so many ways to make a meal healthier and the recipes are loaded with lots of vegetables without hiding it. It has given me inspiration to venture outside my normal cooking and we continue to happily try new recipes each week ... and we haven't been disappointed yet. We even bought another copy that my daughter will be taking with her when she's away at college.
PROS:
* Simple and easy to follow recipes
* Loads of vegetables incorporated in each recipe
* Kid tested and mom approved recipes
* Packed with lots of tips for ingredient substitutions and picky eaters
CONS:
* The green teal sections with the same but bold font color can be hard to read sometimes.

No Whine with Dinner - Sound Advice, Simple Recipes, Feb 23 2011
By Hope Warshaw - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: No Whine with Dinner (Paperback)
No Whine with Dinner (don't you just love that title - it just makes me giggle!) is cookbook number two for the Meal Makeover Moms dietitian duo, Liz Weiss and Janice Bissex. Book one is The Mom's Guide to Meal Makeovers. This book, actually part cookbook and how-to sensible feeding guide for kids, has Janice and Liz's energy written all over it - from the front cover to the back page.Liz and Janice, who are both moms of school-aged kids, whose joint mission is: to help busy families eat better. In all their efforts, including No Whine with Dinner, they get the time pressures and challenges moms (and dads) today are saddled with to feed kids healthfully day after day. There's no doubt about where this dietitian duo are coming from. They layout their premises upfront: "What we aim to present in No Whine with Dinner a whole new family food dynamic - one that fosters excitement and appreciation for fresh, nutritious food which gives children a choice and a voice in what's for dinner. We don't believe in `kid food'. (Amen, I couldn't agree more! Feeding kids this narrow list of foods we've come to call "kid-friendly foods" simply limits their palate and rich experiences with foods.) The Meal Makeover Moms also don't believe in this stealth health notion (sneaking in vegetables and other healthy ingredients). They prefer "subtle additions" of healthy ingredients. They realize that taste is king for kids (as well as adults).
No Whine with Dinner contains about 150 recipes. The book is divided into a logical flow from Morning Makeovers, to Lunch Box Winners, to Pasta and Pizza Favorites, to Sips and Smoothies and, of course, Dreamy Desserts.
A few new additions in this edition, all of the recipes are kid-tested, mom-approved. The last chapter offers 50 secrets from moms across the country to get picky eaters to try new foods. Plus they pack in tips for making enough for easy leftovers (simply a must for time efficiency today), simple substitutions and serving suggestions.
Kudos to Janice and Liz for getting book number 2, No Whine with Dinner on the market. It's another winner bound to help us busy parents more easily and sensibly feed our kids healthier. I just don't think enough parents (and grandparents and other kid care providers) realize how big a deal this close to home effort of raising our kids with healthy habits, really is!!
