I'm glad I ignored the reviews on this book and bought it anyway-- it's a great book! It is written in the style of the "Lazy Way" books, which is light, humerous, and engaging. The recipes are creative ways to use common ingredients, and would be good for picky kids or even a picky spouse! Ideas are given for organizing your kitchen, making the most out of shopping trips, children's parties, and all sorts of timesaving techniques. I enjoyed the book very much, and though my daughter is only 4 months old right now, I look forward to preparing the nutritious foods found in this book. I gave the book 4 stars out of 5 because of the constant suggestion to buy pre-cut fruits and vegetables at the market-- I think this would add up to very high grocery bills over the course of the year. Just use a food processor and shred cabbage (or whatever) that way. I would also have liked to see a few more recipes and snack ideas, but the ones that are included are very good ideas.If you like this book, I recommend "Keep Your Kids Busy: The Lazy Way." It is a treasure-trove of creative kid projects that I look forward to sharing with my daughter someday!Thanks for a great book, Virginia, I am preparing "Monkey Bread" for my daughter's Christening party this Saturday!
