The Healthy Start Kids' Cookbook
Kids Can Now Have Their Mudcake and Eat It, Too.
The Healthy Start Kids' Cookbook shows 6- to 10-year-olds that making nutritious food they love can be just as fun as eating it. With a little help from an adult, children can create delicious, easy, and imaginative concoctions that are surprisingly good for them. Each recipe includes step-by-step instructions, preparation and cooking times, utensil listings, and complete nutrition information.
In all, this illustrated cookbook contains 90 fun kid-tested recipes fully approved by parents and nutritionists alike. Included are fun-to-make recipes you'll feel good about that kids eat-up, such as:
- Painted Pancakes
- Fruit Kabobs
- Oven Baked Chicken Nuggets
- Kids' Quick Chili
- Friendly Fowl in Foil
- Gingerbread Muffins
The book also offers kitchen safety tips and recipes for special occasions like birthdays and the last day of school.
"Lively and kid-friendly, (this book) incorporates all the elements of healthful eating into a simple guide for kids."
