MY THOUGHTS
I received a copy of Parents Magazine Quick & Easy Kid-Friendly Meals.
Chapters include:

Breakfast (Eggs, Grains, Fruit & Yogurt)
Lunch (Soups, Salads, Sandwiches)
Supper (Main Dishes, Side Dishes, Pastas, All-In-One Dinners)
Snacks & Drinks (Quick Bites, Sweet Sips)
Treats (Cookies, Cupcakes, Fruit Desserts)

The recipes are easy to understand and call for ingredients commonly found in the average kitchen and grocery store. Each of the recipes are accompanied by a beautiful color photo. Many of the recipes include nutrition or helpful prep trips. They do not include cooking or prep time. The cookbook contains a good variety of dishes, some common recipes and some others with a twist. Recipes I am especially looking forward to trying include Blueberry Scones, Pork Pozole, Beef & Barley Stew, Monkey Business Cupcakes, Pinwheel Pear Tart, and Strawberry Baskets.
