Summary: A Parent's Mealtime Guilt Reduction Program
Review: This book is great because the attitude of the authors is so realistic: they know we don't have a lot of free time with work and kids to take care of. So there are no recipes that require hard-to-find ingredients and hours of prep time, just lots of quick, easy recipes that resemble stuff kids are already used to eating (but healthier!)

I like the chapter on stocking your pantry, which has great ideas for healthy ingredients and prepared foods that can cut fat and cooking time simultaneously. They even make recommendations of what to order when you buy fast food -- so I can feel virtuous even when I'm running late.

The whole tone of this book is affirming and empowering, and I tore through the first 4 chapters in a week. The rest is the recipes. We've tried a number of them already, and my 3 year old has devoured everything! (and I've lost 4 pounds! Yippee!)

Summary: Healthy eating and great taste!
Review: This cookbook is the best! With 3 teenagers, our schedules are busier than ever. The recipes are quick and easy to prepare, and my kids love them!! The Fiery Steak Fajitas, and Hunan Beef and Broccoli are 2 family favorites. The books tips on stocking a healthy pantry is especially helpful (I only buy omega 3 eggs, now)! This book is so reasonably priced that I've bought many copies...now when friends have us over for dinner I give a copy of the book instead of a bottle of wine. They love it!!!

Summary: Create healthy meals your kids will actually eat!
Review: This is a WONDERFUL cookbook for those parents interested in improving the meals that we prepare for our kids. Our three young children are of normal weight, are super-active and all have high cholesterol levels so I have been searching for a cookbook oriented to healthier cooking for kids and this cookbook is it! The book is a quick, interesting read even before the receipes are introduced. It is quite factual, without bogging you down with minutiae. I have already tried nine receipes and all of them have been winners with my kids---even the one with brussel sprouts! Today my son asked me to make something for dinner "out of that good food cookbook". Everything has tasted great---nothing has tasted "low-fat". I have re-stocked my pantry and freezer with stuff I never would have thought to try because I thought they were too weird (like flaxseed waffles---delicious!!) or because I didn't know what to do with it--like wheat germ. This book has really expanded the foods that I am serving my family. I am committed to improving how our family eats and this book is a fantastic reference. We had friends over tonight with their three young children and we tried three new receipes and they were all hits. Now, she's ordering a copy of the book, too.
