I only got a peek at a sample, but I liked what I saw. A nice approach to getting dinner on the table using quality ingredients without spending all day in the kitchen. Winning!

I received a DIGITAL Advance Reader ***SAMPLER**** Copy of this book from #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  
From the publisher --- 
From the founder of The Chic Site, a lifestyle website, and the author of Upscale Downhome, fun, fresh, and fast recipes for family dinners.
Real life isn’t a series of stylized air-brushed photos. It's crazy, chaotic, beautiful, and funny, and it can knock you right off balance. But cooking and eating as a family has always been at real life's core. Making sure your family is fed makes a day a success, and truly taking the time to give them something wholesome and delicious is the ultimate pleasure.
Based on meals Hollis makes for her hungry husband, three sons, and baby daughter, Real Life Dinners bursts with over 80 photos and recipes including:
Breakfast Quesadillas
Toast Nine Ways
Freeze-Ahead Breakfast Sandwiches
Taco Tuesday
Crispy Sweet Potato Bake
Lemon-Pesto Chicken
Slow Cooker Loaded Potato Soup
Rach's Spice Blends
Rachel Hollis' Real Life Dinners is a cookbook that fits into your real daily life.

This sampler made me hungry FOR MORE....this is the perfect book for your bookshelf and our food-focused library. Simple yet amazing recipes -- my only fault with it was that the "sample" did not show photos (not really necessary but....) and no titles of what the recipes were so you had to guess from the ingredients what the recipe was for. Great concept though === will be buying it for sure.

This was a fun book with lots of simple ideas that I would imagine the whole family, including picky children would like. 

While the recipes did lack sophistication or spice, I enjoyed Rachel Hollis's stories and information about growing up watching a budget and raising her own children. The pictures were gorgeous as well.

I think many of the recipes are comfort food and would be appreciated by picky children, who could actually help with creation of several of the meals. 

A great, basic cookbook for someone new to cooking, a very busy mom, or someone who enjoys simple, comfort meals.

This book is filled with easy, practical and approachable dinners for busy families. I enjoyed the stories in each chapter about Rachel's dinner memories and favorite meals. I loved her desire to involve her kids in the cooking process and appreciated the simple and clear photography to accompany the recipes. Most recipes we're nothing new and matched many I already have in my recipe box from family, friends or tested and beloved online finds. 

I think this book would make a great gift for a recent graduate moving out and having to cook on their own for the first time, or for a new parent looking for some easy recipes to keep dinner time exciting in the midst of the chaos of parenthood.

This is a solid cookbook, with good hearty and easy recipes that any family can easily prepare and very readily enjoy.

Honestly, this cookbook just seemed to be more of the same. A lot of the recipe's are similar to ones that I already have in my culinary repertoire / Pinterest boards. However, I don't have children, but even still I can appreciate the pictures and the encouragement of involvement of kids in cooking - something that I think is important to impart on the future. The pictures are gorgeous and the introduction is very heartfelt, but overall it's not anything to shake a stick at.
