In chapters named for common household scenarios (e.g., "I Only Have 15 Minutes Tonight," "I Want To Cook for the Whole Week Tonight"), food blogger King details strategies for feeding her husband and four children. Families looking for meal ideas can pick from 101 dishes, including rustic Italian sausage soup, five-minute pesto-rubbed chicken, and skillet peach crisp. These rely on time-saving ingredients such as canned beans, cooked chicken, dried spices, and packaged cream cheese. King adds a dash of supplementary content, such as a meal-planning guide and table conversation starters, as well as introductory comments on practicing prayer at mealtime.
VERDICT Recommended for novice cooks who value speed and simplicity. Others may prefer Kathy Brennan and Caroline Campion's The Dinner Plan.
