Dinner Solved!: 100 Ingenious Recipes That Make the Whole Family Happy, Including You!

I love this book so much. It has such a variety too many different meals with sweet, salty, spicy and many more. It’s perfect. If you don’t want to buy a whole bunch of cookbooks and some of the recipes are super simple and sum are a little extra but mostly it’s in the medium of both, and some are very, very delicious- all of them.

I first came across this book at the local library. After making several recipes, I decided to order it so I could have my own copy. The author's lead-ins to each recipe are entertaining and authentic; they're half the reason I'm enjoying the book so much. I've made the Jerk Chicken, Southwest Black Bean Burgers, One Skillet Chicken Alfredo Pasta and the Kale and Quinoa Salad with Dried Cherries. We enjoyed each of these dishes. I don't recommend this cookbook for beginners. Some of the recipes involve multiple steps or special equipment. In addition, if you followed some of the recipes exactly, you might not end up with a great dish. For example, in the Chicken Alfredo recipe, my pasta took almost twice as long as the author said it would to cook. I kept testing it and knew when to add the final ingredients, so all was not lost.The "Fork in the Road" idea is helpful, especially for those who are cooking for picky or selective eaters. I also like the Sample Menus at the end of the book for inspiration. I think I'll be using this a lot this summer.

This is a nice cookbook, but to me it is geared to families with children. The focus seems to be getting them to eat more healthy. It does have good recipes so I would recommend it to families with kids, especially if you enjoy cooking. I was looking for simpler recipes. My son is grown and I'm tired of cooking so much! So these recipes are a bit more then I care to spend time doing at this point. I will definitely pass my copy on to dear friends with a young family, I think they will love it!

I love this cookbook! It is fun to read and the recipes are easy to follow. The fork in the road options make dinner for a range of palates much less stressful. We have already started cooking from the book and the pork loin with maple Dijon glaze was a big hit.

This is a great cookbook for families with different tastes. Nothing in it was too revolutionary for a competent cook, and most of the adaptations in it are things you could come up with on your own, but they are great reminders and everything I have made from it so far has turned out delicious. I cook for my family with two small children every night as well as for picky-eater in-laws fairly often and the ideas in here really work well for my needs. Again, a lot of the ideas, like leaving off the sauce or decreasing spice are things I could figure out on my own, but the recipes seem solid and I like having one less thing to think about.

Really a perfect Christmas gift. Saves time and money for the girl on the go or the more elderly. The recipes and advice will save anyone from wasting time and $$. Rave review!

Great book. She shows how to take several basic recipes and by varying a few ingredients turn each into several unique meals! Love it!

I love the idea of this cook book. It once I got it, I found that a lot of the recipes call for things I don't have on hand (or even know where to buy them at the store). So it's a good cook book but not necessarily for busy moms who need to be able to whip something up quickly and easily

Good selection of recipes, great graphics, fun to browse, and looking forward to using some of the recipws! ws

I loved Katie's first book and love this one too! I love the use of real ingredients and how easy the recipes are to follow. Katie will take the time and tell you modifications or what to use if you don't have something on hand. Do yourself a favour, and order this book along with her first book, The Mom 100. You will love them!
