Found 5 out of 7 meals Kids Like Already

Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2016

Verified Purchase

I got this for my wife, as she was having trouble coming up with healthy stuff that the kids would actually eat. They are in that 5 things we want to eat phase and it was getting old. Not everything in this book was a hit, but it had a number of successes and I liked everything that we have eaten so far. While the "healthy" part was in question a few times, it does give a lot of good suggestions and helped us come up with new ideas for cooking dinner. I would recommend this to friends and feel it was worth the money.

Healthy and quick receipes that kids AND adults will enjoy

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2014

Verified Purchase

I've been cooking out of this book for years!!! I have raised my 2 sons and now my daughter on these receipes. They're 18, 15, and 3 years old. The boys' favorite? Turkey Burgers & Chicken Tacos. My daughter's? Wheelie Ham Salad. Mine? Cheesy Polenta with Meat Sauce.
The receipes are healthy & quick to make. I appreciate that BH&G lists the Nutritional Facts per Serving for every receipe. This made it easy for me to mark my Weight Watchers Points. I let someone borrow my original copy of this book....I never got it back so I HAD to get another one. I won't make that mistake again!

Not healthy recipes, but healthier versions of stuff kids really like

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2009

Modern families with kids are always pressed for time and it is too easy to reach for fast food or packaged processed foods. Here is a book with 150 creative yet simple recipes that will help you put together meals for your kids. These are the kinds of recipes you can even put together with them and teaching kids to cook and prepare their own food is a very valuable life skill. You need to know that although these meals are healthier than the standard versions of these meals, the book is not full of recipes your kids will find strange and not want to eat. By using more fruit, lowering some fat, substituting turkey for higher fat meats where you can, watching the amount of sodium you use, and controlling portion size, you can do a lot to help your kids and teach them to take control of their meals and take responsibility for their health.

I like the fact that all the recipes have nutritional information. As I read them I was still surprised at how high some of the recipes are in sodium. Of course, if you look on packaged and canned foods, the amount of sodium they contain is mind boggling.

The authors have also including a quick description of the dish, timing for preparing the whole dish, how many servings it makes, a clear ingredients list, and the few steps it will take you to put it together. Most of the dishes also include a beautifully shot photo of the meal so you can have a clear vision of what you are trying to create.

The recipes are organized into eight chapters. 1) breakfasts, 2) quick snacks, 3) brown bag lunches, 4) quick salads, 5) dinners, 6) vegetable side dishes, 7) desserts, 8) party ideas.

You don't need to be a master cook to put these recipes together. In fact, you can be a beginner. Many of them as simply assembling items you can purchase and put together. There is some use of the stove, oven, and microwave, but nothing complex. Again, I think one of the great uses of the book is to use these recipes with your kids to teach them how to cook.

Have fun with this delightful collection of simple kid-friendly recipes.

One of the Best Kid's Cookbooks I've Found

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2006

In my quest to be a better cook (nothing burnt this week, folks, boo-yah!) I also wanted, of course, to cook healthier. Finding a children's cookbook that's healthy had has kid appeal is harder than you would think. After an evenings worth of searching at a bookstore through about a dozen "family" cookbooks, I finally came across this easy-to follow guide to making kid's favorites better for them without loosing the taste.

The other reviewer is dead on, however. There aren't a lot of veggie dishes, but it is well worth the purchase price if for nothing else it does break down the nutritional content for the recipes--this is lacking in almost every single kid's cookbook I perused. The Mac-n-cheese in this book, btw, more than halves the calories in normal homemade mac-n-cheese. From 660 to 310--that alone makes this book a good purchase.

It has a very friendly layout and you will find your kids enjoy reading it as well. There is the definite feel that busy moms wrote this cookbook as well... there's no funky ingredients and a lot of items come with simplified steps such as canned cresent rolls, etc.

Incidentally: if you're wanting to save on calories overall, I highly recommend the New Best LITE Recipe by Cook's Illustrated as well. But this little gem of a book lives up to it's title and this busy mom recommends it heartily. I highly recommend the onion rings.

Got this for my granddaughter for Christmas since she loves to help cook. She really likes it a lot and told me a few of the things she has already made. Colorful pictures of most, if not all, recipes.
