Delicious : Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food
Collins Spiral WB Price: $26.95
It has become common knowledge that
childhood obesity rates are increasing every year. But the rates continue to
rise. And between busy work schedules and the inconvenient truth that kids
simply refuse to eat vegetables and other healthy foods, how can average parents
ensure their kids are getting the proper nutrition and avoiding bad eating
habits?As a mother of three, Jessica Seinfeld can speak for all parents who
struggle to feed their kids right and deal nightly with dinnertime fiascos. As
she wages a personal war against sugars, packaged foods, and other nutritional
saboteurs, she offers appetizing alternatives for parents who find themselves
succumbing to the fastest and easiest (and least healthy) choices available to
them. Her modus operandi? Her book is filled with traditional recipes that kids
love, except they're stealthily packed with veggies hidden in them so kids don't
even know! With the help of a nutritionist and a professional chef, Seinfeld has
developed a month's worth of meals for kids of all ages that includes, for
example, pureed cauliflower in mac and cheese, and kale in spaghetti and
meatballs. She also provides revealing and humorous personal anecdotes, tear-out
shopping guides to help parents zoom through the supermarket, and tips on how to
deal with the kid that "must have" the latest sugar bomb cereal.But
this book also contains much more than recipes and tips. By solving problems on
a practical level for parents, Seinfeld addresses the big picture issues that
surround childhood obesity and its long-term (and ruinous) effects on the body.
With the help of a prominent nutritionist, her book provides parents with an
arsenal of information related tokids' nutrition so parents understand why it's
important to throw in a little avocado puree into their quesadillas. She
discusses the critical importance of portion size, and the specific elements
kids simply must have (as opposed to adults) in order to flourish now and in the
future: protein, calcium, vitamins, and Omega 3 and 6 fats.Jessica Seinfeld's
book is practical, easy-to-read, and a godsend for any parent that wants their
kids to be healthy for a long time to come.22.99 cms L x 20.35 cms W (0.78 kgs)

The
Mom's Guide To Meal Makeovers
ISBN 0767914236 Broadway Paperback WB Price: $31.95
Getting dinner on the table night after night can be a challenge. So it's no surprise that busy moms often rely on fast food, takeout, and convenience meals like macaroni & cheese, chicken nuggets, and fries. The kids love it but the drawback is that little twinge of guilt moms feel every time they feed their family another not-so-healthy meal. At the end of the day, many children end up with a poor diet high in sugar, saturated fat, and calories ... a major factor in the rising rates of obesity.
Finally, here are realistic guidelines designed to give families a healthy meal makeover.
The Moms lay out a 5-Step Meal Makeover Plan, explaining how to market good nutrition to kids, establish food rules, and make life easier in the kitchen.
In The Best of the Bunch chapter they reveal which brands of kid convenience foods-hot dogs, frozen pizza, and more-are the best tasting and most nutritious ones out there.
The Moms show how to stock a healthy pantry and whip up delicious anytime meals using pantry staples.
They even serve up 120 reworked recipes for family favorites such as Fast-as-Boxed Macaroni & Cheese, Squishy Squash Lasagna, Cheesy Broccoli Soup, Sweet Potato Fries, and Chocolate Pudding with
Toppers. 23.2
