The addition of one wrong ingredient can turn a painstakingly cooked meal for kids into a disaster. Notorious for their picky eating habits, kids tend to make meal planning difficult thanks to their adamant refusals to come close to anything that even resembles a vegetable.
Determined to move past chicken fingers and spaghetti at dinnertime? “The Meal Makeover Moms,” Liz Weiss and Janice Newell Bissex have taken their best kid-approved recipes and compiled 150 of them into a life-saving cookbook titled No Whine with Dinner.
The cookbook features recipes for every meal of the day plus snacks for in between. The introduction covers the essentials to building a healthy diet: what you need to know about fats, fiber, calcium, convenience foods and more. The recipes focus on transforming kid favorites, such as Mac & Cheese, into more balanced, nutritious meals to help you integrate fruits and vegetables into your child’s diet.
At the bottom of each recipe, you’ll find a section called “Mom’s Feedback,” featuring reviews from Moms whose kids have tried the meal. In addition to offering their candid feedback, Mom reviewers also disclose their childrens’ ages to help readers determine which age group the recipe caters to best.
