Saving Dinner: Leanne Ely Declares War on the Drive-Thru

“My mission is to save the family dinner table one meal and one family at a time,” New York Times Best Selling author Leanne Ely said, speaking about healthy living and her book, Saving Dinner, at the National Press Club earlier this week.

“At 4:00 this afternoon, 75% of Americans did not know what was for dinner.  We’re talking about families here!” said a shocked Dinner Diva, before explaining to an intimate crowd how families could deal with picky eaters, cooking challenges and other special needs.

“It is not ok that the dinner table has been replaced with the drive thru and the pizza guy…  Everyone needs to know how to do some basic stuff – like being able to chop and onion and do something with a skillet.”

So does she ever eat out??  “I love going out for sushi. But we never go out to a steakhouse or something like that… because I can make a killer steak at home!”
