Mealtime Magic:
Delicious Dinners in Half the Time


“No more humdrum leftovers! This book’s intentional planning and practical 
pointers provide easy, delicious, time-saving meals for families on the go!” 

-- Marty Nolte, middle school library media specialist and busy mom

From the author, Amy Houts


Dear Busy Parent,
If you answer yes to any of the following questions, I have the book for you!

• Do you want to save $500/year?
According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, American households throw away an average of 20 pounds of food/month costing hundreds of dollars each year. Using the strategies from Mealtime Magic, families can save up to $43/month or over $500/year.

• Do you want to save hours in the kitchen?
A survey by appliance maker, Electrolux, found that an average family spends 175 hours in the kitchen per month. Mealtime Magic’s tried and true method--a cooking strategy—saves time and energy not only cooking, but washing fewer pots and pans.

• Do you want to encourage good health?
In statistics published by the National Institutes of Health, in 2009–2010, more than two-thirds (68.8 percent) of adults, age 20 and older, were considered to be overweight or obese. One reason Mealtime Magic works is because vegetables and grains are added to the main dish, not only to stretch the meal, but to create new flavors and textures. The result is healthier, more appetizing dinners that satisfy hungry kids and adults. 

• Do you want to please picky eaters?
Dr. Spock’s Baby and Child Care book discusses the anxiety parents feel when their child is a picky eater, one of the biggest challenges at mealtime. Combining my educational background and practical knowledge cooking for my family the last 40 years, I’ve created delicious main dishes that have been requested again and again.

Here’s what people are saying about Mealtime Magic:

“My two year-old daughter and I love to cook together; however, as a mom who works two jobs and has a five month-old son, it can be hard to spend quality time in the kitchen. Mealtime Magic has helped us to focus on healthy, quick meals that are satisfying and tasty. This book takes the cake or… steak, in this case!”

-- Elizabeth Keane Dimmitt, LPC, Northwest Missouri State University Psychology Instructor, president of Compass Counseling Center, and mother of two

“Use Mealtime Magic to save you time and money in preparing meals for your family. By using this method, you will have meals on the table in half the time – and with less money spent. This cookbook is an important and welcome addition to any busy family’s kitchen.”
