 yum December 3, 2008
I love this cook book! I'm actually a college student but I use this book all the time. The recipes are simple and delicious. Sometime it's hard to eat healthy but this book makes it easy!
Cooking Is No Longer A Chore November 30, 2008
Real Food For Healthy Kids is phenomenal cooking book that any kid or parent will approve of. Full of healthy, delicious, and easy-to-make recipes, I have learned a lot about cooking and have changed my opinion on it; cooking is no longer a chore for me, instead, it is a fun learning experience. This book proves that healthy meals are not hard to make, in fact, they are quite simple. The 30 minute dinners of chapter 6 have become an essential part of my busy nights when I have to cook for myself. It's nice being able to eat something homemade that is both easy and nutritious, especially when I've been studying for exams beforehand. As a busy student, this book has been a big help to me and a great learning tool. I would honestly recommend this book to anyone, whether you love cooking or hate it, you'll find recipes in here that suit your time requirements/limitations, your level of cooking expertise, and your taste buds.

I am very disappointed with this book. Recipes are boring and dishes that I've seen many times before. If it's available at your library, check it out there before buying it. It's not a keeper.
Real food, real easy October 22, 2008
I read the book cover to cover, and found the essay part particularly helpful (suggetions on crudites to snack on before dinner, give veggies or fruit as second helpings). I made the blueberry muffins from the breakfast section this weekend for brunch and they could not have been easier. Mixing in whole wheat flour was a great idea and a healthy twist. My friend's 5-year-old twin girls LOVED them, as did all of us adults. Look forward to trying more.
 Don't bother getting this book October 18, 2008

I'm going to try to return this book if I can...I keep forgetting. The recipes are high in fat and are not all that original.
You can do better by just using foods as least processed as possible. Have your kids help you plan menus, shop for ingredients, and prepare the meals. Talk about the Food Guide Pyramid and use the Diabetes Plate Method to develop healthy meals and appropriate portion sizes. Go to www.mypyramid.gov for more ideas.
Download fast food and chain menu item nutrients and talk about wise choices before eating out.
Avoid eating/snacking in front of the TV. Make fresh fruit & veggies readily available. Talk about how good food tastes...help kids (and yourself) be mindful about what they're/you're eating.
Make a point of getting at least 1 hour of walking/active playing as a family. Limit TV & video games -- the time for these could be earned through age-appropriate chores.
