My Review:
The Meatless Monday Family Cookbook is a cookbook with kid-friendly, plant-based recipes for those wanting to try out a meatless Monday or wanting to add more plant-based dishes throughout the week. The recipes used no meat or dairy, and most were gluten-free or had tips on how to make them gluten-free. She did use added oil, but she also explains how to cook a dish without added oil if you want to. The recipes were often similar to familiar dishes, like mac & cheese, and usually used familiar or common ingredients that should be easy to find. The recipes look relatively simple to make. The meal recipes usually served 4 to 6 people.

She had 11 recipes for soups, 9 for salads, 12 for wraps, sandwiches, and burgers, 11 for bowls, 11 for pasta, 11 one-pot meals, 8 for casseroles, 9 for vegetable–centered main dishes, 8 breakfast for dinner dishes, and 13 sauces and staples. Each recipe included cooking tips and ways to involve kids in the cooking. She did not include estimated preparation or cooking time, nor did she include nutritional information per serving. They included pictures of many of the recipes.
