Summary: Great find!
Review: This book has so many great recipes and I am learning a lot more about cooking whole foods and even sea vegetables. I never cooked with some of these ingredients before but I'm so glad I found out about them and how nutritious they are. This book has really expanded our horizons when it comes to eating. Even my husband likes the dishes I've cooked - and my kids do too. All the recipes for sweets don't have any sugar but taste really good. I am happy that my kids are eating healthy foods and not all that processed, sugary stuff. I also like that this book is not full of a bunch of fluffy fillers that most of the other books had. Many were 1/3 to 1/2 of information before they even got to the recipes and who has time to read all that stuff. I love the simplicity of the recipes and the great suggestions like making toddler popsicles in ice cube trays - I always found that regular popsicle molds made way to much and it would just melt all over. These are the perfect size. This book also has lots of great cracker recipes which are so quick and easy to make and I don't have to worry about my baby eating hydrogenated oils and sugar. The smoothie recipes are awesome - who knew you could sneak veggies into a smoothie and it would taste so good. This book gives more than recipes. Some of the ideas are very simple but you don't always think of them on your own. I'm very happy I choose this book.

My mouth always waters as I thumb through the pages. Most of the recipes are not just for the youngsters, the whole family will enjoy them. It is wonderful to be able to fix things the whole family will love. The Fig Bar recipe is not to be missed!

Summary: Simply the Best
Review: This book is really easy to use and the recipes are simple. I loved all the different cracker recipes and the soups are incredible. I think our favorite is the 'Better Than Ice Cream'. It just takes a few seconds to make and is so yummy. And like every recipe in the book has no sugar.
I received this book for my birthday along with this amazing new beverage as an alternative to coffee. Made from 100% soy that's organic, its absolutely delicious! It's caffeine-free and comes in 8 delicious flavors. Just google it under "s oyfee" to find it and you won't be disappointed.
I will definetly use this book throughout his first couple of years , and I will use these simple, and very healthy recipes for any future children I have.

Summary: Great for the whole family
Review: What an attractive and well-done book. I read Simply Natural Baby Food from cover to cover. Great education and inspiration! I feel newly motivated to make healthful, new and fun recipes for my family.
I would like to emphasize that this book is great for the whole family, not just the baby.
We love the recipes for soups, sandwiches, pizza, breakfast foods...and most of all, we love the recipes for healthful snacks. Everybody loves a treat but isn't it hard to find snacks which we can really feel good about? This book will help. Some of our favorites are animal crackers, graham crackers, pretzels, muffins, cookies, bars, ice cream, pudding, smoothies and more!
Simply Natural Baby Food would make a wonderful gift. The whole family will benefit from the nutritional tips and recipes.
We look forward to Cathe Olson's next book.

Summary: Simply Natural, Simply Wonderful!
Review: When I had my children, I wanted to feed them nutritious foods but had a limited knowledge of the organic products available. Cathe's book was a life saver. Aside from the delicious recipes (that even my picky 5 year old enjoys), her section on healthy ingredients, and how and when to use them, was very informative. My oldest child even enjoys preparing some of the simpler recipes with me! Though we are not a vegetarian family, most of the recipes in this book are geared for vegetarians. I have found that these recipes are a great way to get more veggies into my meat loving kids and I have shared many of the recipes with my vegetarian friends. The wide variety of recipe choices offers something for everyone in the family. I particularly love the dessert section...finally I can indulge without feeling guilty!

Summary: Finally a healhy eating book for babies and toddlers
Review: With 15 years of nutrition and cooking experience behind her, Cathe Olson brings the public another one of her much needed cookbooks for infants and toddlers. After publishing "Beyond Rice Cereal: Healthy Food Your Infant and Toddler Will Love to Eat," she now brings us, "Simply Natural Baby Food: Easy Recipes for Delicious Meals Your Infant and Toddler Will Love." This authentic cookbook is not just for the baby and toddler of the family. There are recipes that everyone will enjoy. My mouth watered while reading the Toddler Foods section of "Simply Natural Baby Foods." Cathe begins with secitons titled How to Use This Book, Equipment, Ingredients, and Vegetarian Babies. Throughout the book are tips and fun wasy to feed nutritious foods to little ones. And children will beg for more. What I like best about Cathe's book is how simple she makes it for parents to feed their children healthy foods every day. I wish this book had been available thirty years ago when I was raising my children. At the time, there were some books on nutrition, but nothing like Cathe's cookbook to make feeding time fast and healthy. Cathe Olson shatters a long time myth that feeding babies and toddlers a meal from a jar bought from the store is much easier. It's not. And it's not cheaper. You'll believe it once you've read and tried the simple inexpensive recipes. This book will start babies on healthy foods that will shape the way they eat for life.

Summary: Super Choice!!
Review: Wow, I couldn't disagree with the last reviewer more. Sure, this book has some recipes with some harder to find items so just skip those recipes! I never would have introduced my daughter to some of the grains if they hadn't been recommended in this book. I always taste what I make for her....better than jarred! She LOVES the raisin bars but my husband loves them more. I now have to double the recipe so he won't eat them all first. Some recipes are more involved than others but the majority are easy! The bottom line is my daughter has enjoyed every recipe!
