Dad, What’s for Dinner? By David Nayfeld

It features over 80 recipes the whole family will love—from breakfast ideas to big-batch recipes to pastas to snacks and sweets. The recipes are broken down into three categories: Meltdown Meals (30 minutes or less), Weeknight Meals (30-60 minutes), and Project Cooking (an hour or more). Each recipe also concludes a mess rating and notes on how you can get your kids involved with meal prep.
