Christy firmly believes in the importance of dining as a family because it strengthens the family unit. This book provides recipes for a wide variety of meals the family can enjoy together. Four main categories celebrate the following family dining opportunities: everyday dining, weekends, entertaining at home, and holidays. Within each of the main categories, the recipes are grouped according to function. Suggested wines are listed in the margin spaces of the recipes, which allows for them to either be ignored or incorporated within the meal if desired. Personal anecdotes accompany each of the recipes, making this cookbook both useful and easy to read.

The wide variety of recipes range from simple meat loafs to special-occasion desserts. Some of the delectable recipes: Grilled Fajita fa·ji·ta
