Life from Scratch

Family Traditions that Start with You

De: Vanessa Lachey, Dina Gachman

Narrado por: Vanessa Lachey

From the television host, actress, and mother of three, a fabulous collection of season-by-season recipes, holiday hacks, birthday rituals, and date-night ideas for creating wonderful family celebrations and cherished memories.

Television personality Vanessa Lachey is a dedicated mom of three, a supportive wife to singer Nick Lachey, and someone who freely shares her “perfectly imperfect” home and family life. But like many people, Vanessa didn’t come from a family whose traditions were passed down from generation to generation. Her mom left when she was nine, and when she began her own family, Vanessa had to rely on her own imagination to create celebrations and milestone markers that would become annual rituals.

In Life from Scratch, Vanessa shares personal stories, ideas, delicious recipes, and parenting tips you can use to make your own celebrations unique and unforgettable. Inside you’ll discover the simple gift-giving custom Vanessa shares with her best girlfriends each year; the date-night tradition that she and Nick swear by; and her fool-proof recipe for “authentic” Chicken Adobo she serves to family and friends.

A fun, uplifting yearlong guide that celebrates families that color outside the lines, Life from Scratch will inspire people to make each season, and each special moment, their own.

Love her!!

I love Vanessa Lachey her book definitely shows she's a devoted wife and mother. She's a classy and no money of Jessica's will ever touch that. Jessica is overrated and in not worth a dollar. Nick and Vanessa are perfect for eachother!

Practical and heartwarming

I liked this audiobook. It is easy to listen and the stories are great. This book warmed my heart. Thank you.

Brilliant

Vanessa makes so many new points to consider when raising your own family. Even if you have traditions in place her book puts you in a new light to always beat at your own drum and let God. Pray shields our family. There is no wrong way to pray and start traditions and this book is just a reminder. I added the prayer part but it's still a good read.

Love!

I would recommend this book to all my girlfriends. This was such an inspiring book and I hope to make new memories with my family.

Perfect blend — no pun intended!

I bought this book for my 23 year old daughter, even though I’m not happy she’s living with her boyfriend I wanted to encourage a wholesome marital type relationship which apparently is their goal. I always tease her about her OCD organizing so She no doubt loves the organizing part. I loved the blend of story and cookbook. I had been a Nick Lachey fan and I quickly fell in love with Vanessa. My daughter‘s not old enough to know Nick Lachey but after reading the book, with the family traditions, I knew it would be a beautiful & interesting first cookbook. My daughter is excited about having children someday and really enjoys Reading the family traditions. She’s good at what she does cook so these are great recipes for her to broaden her cooking experience and blend cooking, tradition and family. Thank you Vanessa for sharing such a touching story and my prayer for you is that you and your daughter’s relationship Will help to heal the mother Loss that you feel. I’m sure you’ve heard of the old adage how better to learn something than to teach it. As a single mom and nurse I always worked a lot and my daughter and I never really cooked together except cookies so I hope this book can help her do better at that for her children. Your courage in sharing your story Will no doubt be healing for other women who have experienced the same mother loss you did.
And also encourage Time consuming career mothers to want to make memories for their daughters of cooking together at least a couple of recipes. God bless your family and thank you for blessing other families with your courage, family traditions and story!
