Book Overview
Late meetings, soccer practice, and not enough hours in the day -- how can a family fit a good/smart/solid/worthwhile/ hearty breakfast or relaxing dinner into this schedule, much less have it be healthy and delicious? Working parents Jeff and Jodie Morgan show how in this can't-do-without cookbook for moms and dads with busy days, hungry kids, and a desire for family health and harmony. These "kid friendly" recipes are full of fresh ingredients, and most of them can be whipped up in 30 minutes or less. All of them let the chef know what he or she is getting into with prep times and complete, easy-to-follow instructions, including plenty of time-saving shortcuts and creative suggestions for leftovers. It's a near endless supply of ideas for quick breakfasts, weekday lunches, no-fuss dinners, and everybody's favorite: dessert. Parents will find options for the inevitable last-minute school potluck or bake sale that even finicky kids (or adults) will gobble up. With tips on everything from table manners to fast alternatives to processed foods, and helpful lists of essential cooking tools and what to keep in a well-stocked pantry, The Working Parents Cookbook is the real-world answer when family time is on the menu.

My All Time Favorite
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I LOVE this cookbook. I'm a very amateur, medium-confidence cook, and this book is right at my speed. Many of the dinners take an hour or so to put together, but that is the price of fresh food. If I were willing to eat Tuna Helper then I could indeed put together meals more quickly, but these are great recipes, great flavors. Recipes we've tried that we love are: Split Pea Soup, Basic Roast Chicken, Lentil Soup, Next Day Chicken Soup, Stevie Weevie's Waffles. My kids aren't wild about many of the recipes, but they are mainly bread-and-cheese kinds of kids anyway. I still prepare and present these good recipes and they are starting to try more.

This is a well thought out book. The authors have made preparing tasty and healthy food a breeze. The recipies include prep and cooking times, and there are menus for both vegetarians and meat eaters. The lemon and rosemary pasta was a hit with both my hubby and 2 year old and took only 10 minutes to prepare! I highly recommend.
