I was very ticked off when “Cookie” magazine ceased printing. I would devour every single page of each issue as they arrived, tear out pages, dog-ear pages.

Three of the editors from the now-defunct mag have published a cookbook designed to help take the guesswork out of family meals when children are involved. And as they once cleverly laid out their recipes within the pages of the magazine, they also do the same clever layouts in their new book “Time for Dinner.” They also have great ideas for a well-stocked fridge, freezer and pantry, which I also appreciate. It’s meant to take the “oh my gosh there’s no food what will I feed the kids?” anxiety out of meal prep.

I cannot put the book down. I’m updating my week’s grocery list and can’t wait to get started…
