Summary: Great Resource
Review: I loved this book! It has been a great resource for me as a professional and as a mother of three growing children. I am a family therapist who sees many single mothers of young children. They are often overwhelmed with the physical, emotional, and financial demands of parenting. This book's easy and quick recipes were perfect; not too time consuming, and not too complicated. Moreover, the education regarding the importance of healthy eating, was very well received. Dr. McAllister's humor and her easy reading style encouraged many of my clients to prioritize nutrition. Many of the moms I work with became excited about their own nutrition. They felt they were doing something important for their children and themselves. As a busy mom, I too appreciated the quick snack ideas. Kids want to eat "right now" and too often they grab what ever is in arms reach and can be ripped open fast. This book gave me some plan ahead ideas that did not keep me up all night. I was also reminded of the lack of nutritional value in many of the foods my kids reach for. It motivated me as well as my clients. It is a great resource. I also plan to continue to share it with my clients and my friends. Thank you Dr. McAllister!

Summary: Waste of Time and Money
Review: It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that too much TV and too many snack foods will likely lead to an over-weight child. I didn't need this book to tell me to limit TV and have my children excercise in order to keep them in shape.If you like fat-free mayonaise, fat-free cream cheese or reduced fat jarred turkey gravy, then this book is for you. I personally think that these things are disgusting, and wish that I not purchased this book. I wanted to new ideas for heathy eating for children - this book did not provide it.
