GREEN ENTERTAINING for Mommies is a new, practical guide by Laura Theodore, The Jazzy Vegetarian about how to be a hostess with the mostess without forgetting your responsibility to the planet.

These days, hosting a party usually means a lot of waste; disposable everything and one-time use decor.

GREEN ENTERTAINING for Mommies starts out with assessing your “Green Means,” your home, food, and guests.

Laura Theordore has great ideas for preparing your home through green cleaning, organizing, and green decorating. When it comes to food, you can make sure you are buying green, preparing, and serving in an eco-friendly manner. Even the guest list and invitations can have a touch of “green”!
The second chapter, “Green Cuisines,” is a treasure trove of healthy vegetarian recipes, giving you great go-to options for a variety of occasions. There are no-cook appetizers, and yummy cooked starters like Savory Sweet Potato Soup, hearty mains like Festive Lasagna with Zucchini Noodles, and great finishers like Chocolate Ganache Pudding!
Chapter 3, “Green Themes,” is a plethora of ideas for making any occasion green. From casual gatherings like family dinners or brunches, seasonal celebrations, and extra special occasions like birthdays or romantic dinners!

Each event is outlined with menus and entertaining tips; you have all of the tools you need in a totally digestable format.

I’m very impressed by the breadth of GREEN ENTERTAINING for Mommies!

I do want to be green, but I worry that I won’t be “green enough” sometimes! GREEN ENTERTAINING for Mommies is helpful for narrowing in on one aspect of green entertaining at a time until I have conquered them all! Mwahaha!

These tips are not overwhelming, not over-expensive, and earth-friendly! Two thumbs up!

Thank you, Laura Theodore for providing a review copy for us!
