great recipes--but need a food processor
I think that this recipe book has great ideas on how to help your kids get some extra vegetables if you have a little extra time and a food processor. Since I don't have a food processor and my blender doesn't blend the vegetables very well I must purchase one. Aside from that, it is a good recipe book for sneaking in some extra veggies for the kids. 2008-10-01




Great cookbook!
I got this cookbook, not because of a picky child, but because of a somewhat picky husband. I am thrilled that I get to hide fruits and veggies in the foods that I make for our family. So, even if the veggies aren't eaten as the side dish, they are still eaten in the main dish. I highly recommend this cookbook not only for healthy reasons, but because the recipes are so very simple as well. 2008-09-21




It's pretty good
I found this book to be a pretty good buy. I really like a lot of the dinner recipes. The chicken fingers are delicious, however I always need to use more oil for pan frying than the recipe says to use. It is completely impossible to fry 1/2 a pound or more of chicken strips with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. I do not like the zuchinni oatmeal cookie recipe as they have not turned out correctly on any of the 3 attempts I made. I think there is a slight miscalculation in the recipe. I am no stranger to the kitchen, but I am a stranger to baking with 0 trans fat tub margarine/imitation butter and pureed fruits and vegis. While a great idea, I think you may need to adjust the recipes a bit to make them work for you. Overall, a pretty nice cookbook though. 2008-09-17




Will try the recipies in the future.
Great book. Seems to be really easy to adopt the recipies. I did not try any yet as my baby is only 2,5 months old. 2008-09-15




Recipes did not appeal to my family
Some of the ideas are helpful however the actual recipes lack in taste and texture. I feel as though many of the recipes were not tested before entering them into the book. The peanut butter and jelly muffins came out like rocks with a soggy inside from the jelly. I tried the recipe again to make sure I was doing it correctly and I ended up throwing them away having the same result. I gave the book two stars because even though my children are good eaters, I knew I could always improve on some of my recipes. I now add flax meal to pancakes and make fruit smoothies with spinach. I did learn that raw spinach has little to no affect on the taste of most foods so I have added it to many recipes. Even my husband who knows about the spinach cannot taste it. Great idea, not so great Cookbook. 2008-09-12
