Like most working mothers I struggle with finding the time to cook healthy meals for my family. I have never come across kid friendly recipes that are healthy and actually takes 5 minutes This book is rare and a must have for everyone.

Finally, a cookbook with real alternative/substitutions for kids with allergies Quick, simple and creative ideas for meals that I know my daughter can make herself, like the Fruit Kabobs. They are a hit in our home. The ingredients list at the beginning of each week helps me prepare what items I need to shop for and this is a REAL timesaver

Being a recent graduate from the Columbus Culinary Institute at Bradford, I'm constantly looking for ways to be creative with the ingredients that I'm familiar with but also up for the challenge of stepping out of my comfort zone to try something new. This quick and easy cookbook combines the two while using healthy, kid friendly ingredients that will make any mealtime a breeze. The lunchroom style calendar format takes me back to my childhood days and will add fun and excitement as kids look forward to creating their favorite dishes. I look forward to trying each and every one of these recipes with my family, friends and clients.
