I am using this cookbook to give to families that have children with diabetes. I chose this cookbook because the recipes are not long and involved and do not use specialty ingredients. The recipes are short, nutritious and each is followed by nutritional data. It makes it very easy for the children to count their carbs! Great cookbook! Leah M., RN

Great snack, breakfast, lunch, and dessert recipes all kids are sure to love! An easy and fun way to try new foods, too. Every recipe is made from a short list of ingredients and are quick to make for anyone short on time. I can't wait to eat everything in this book! My kids will be so happy eating, they won't notice they're eating healthy.

I'm sorry, I'm a little confused about the rave reviews others have written for this book. I found recipe after recipe calling for white potatoes, white flour, bananas... are these foods not the very foods listed under "foods to avoid" in most every Diabetes reference guide & website????? And the claim on the cover of the book that these are recipes for the foods kids "really like to eat"... how many kids do you know who LIKE tomatoes (which are in many of the recipes)????? I know maybe one out of dozens of children including my children & their friends who I often cook for. Many of the recipes simply replace sugar with a sugar substitute and that makes them diabetic friendly I suppose. Gee, coulda just taken that one simple hint and not bothered with the book.

I found this book to be waste of money. Any cookbook will be similar and suffice. If you need recipe ideas try the internet. The text was and recipes are bland and the lack of pictures make this a very dull uninspired read. Save your money or even Donate the $10 to help find a cure and get your recipes for free!

Tried a chicken nugget receipe and my picky children loved it. So we need to try other receipes for a child recently diagnoised with Diabetes.

Most of the receipes in this book I really don't think my kids will enjoy. They are not big vegetable fans and this has a lot of veggie-oriented dishes. I was hoping for more creative ideas, more low-carb snacks on the sweet side. Also, it's not a visually appealing cookbook. I decided to keep it, though, as it does have some receipes I can use.
