I think a more appropriate name for this book would be, "Kid Favorites Made Healthier". I was a bit disappointed at the lack of vegetable dishes... or at least ones my family would eat. Having said that, I have actually used this book a lot. The recipes are simple and easily adaptable, for example, I'll use whole grain pastas and tortillas instead of the regular "white" ones called for in the recipes. There are pictures of most of the recipes which is always nice. Potential purchasers should be I think a more appropriate name for this book would be, "Kid Favorites Made Healthier".

Potential purchasers should be aware that many of the dishes use store-bought time-savers which was a plus for me but may be a turn-off for others. All in all, a good cookbook with good recipes... not great, but there are some real gems that make it worth the purchase. ...more

Alright, this demonstrates one of my fundamental problems with alot of "healthy" cookbooks. Wow, these recipes look tasty, and they're delicious?? Too good to be true! And... yeah, it is. Because they're really good, and they look healthy, but that's because the serving sizes are insanely small. And I don't just say that because I'm a big serving girl (which, of course, I am). One recipe (the Crispy Cheese Chips) has a serving at 4 chips. Four chips? Ridiculous. Until we start changing the way w Alright, this demonstrates one of my fundamental problems with alot of "healthy" cookbooks. Wow, these recipes look tasty, and they're delicious??

Until we start changing the way we approach food, of course kids are going to be eating crap. Why don't we make chips that aren't fried and coated in cheese? Then we could have more than 4, feel satisfied, and not have glutted ourselves. Ugh- I find it frustrating. ...more

The Brain Power Salad is a favorite. Some good recipes for everything from fun drinks to chicken fingers. Some recipes are variations of popular options and many are very sodium heavy, so I tend to pick-and-choose

Nice colorful recipes...I was hoping to adapt them for my finicky habits, but they really are angled towards "fun" recipes for kids. Cute. Nice colorful recipes...I was hoping to adapt them for my finicky habits, but they really are angled towards "fun" recipes for kids. Cute. ...more

Using "healthy" in the title is a bit of a stretch. If you remove that particular word from the title than it's accurately portrayed. Using "healthy" in the title is a bit of a stretch. If you remove that particular word from the title than it's accurately portrayed. ...more
