Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
The recipe titles in this book are almost as yummy as the recipes themselves: Monkey Bars, Wiggle Sicles, Corny Pudding, Tomato Balloons. Penny Warner's Healthy Snacks for Kids provides new pizzazz to lunch and snack time, and helps calm the chaos of cranky, cranky children who need to eat now. Warner has great ideas for smuggling nutrition into old favorites, such as sneaking grated carrots into peanut butter or ground spinach into turkey burgers. She suggests using "props"--funny bowls, colored straws--to spice up food and get kids enthusiastic about mealtime. Each recipe includes a graphic representation of the food pyramid that shows which foods are emphasized.

Recipes Galore!,

This review is from: Healthy Snacks for Kids (Nitty Gritty Cookbooks) (Paperback)
This is a handy sized cookbook with tons of recipes. Definately more than what you would expect for its size. Recipes are of the heathly variety with yogurt, fruits, and granolas as main staples of the recipes. The recipes are easy to follow, and come out well. They also give great ideas on presentation to help with the pickey eaters. If you are into health foods, and making sure your young one gets plenty of the natural foods this is the book you want to pick up.

Fun book, but not as informative as I would have liked,
By Rebecca Moore (Turlock, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Healthy Snacks for Kids (Nitty Gritty Cookbooks) (Paperback)
I was hoping for a more imaginative book....more helpful in getting my picky vegetartian child to eat more and different foods. Many of the recipes my own 3 yr. old could have come up with herself!Oh well.....another to add to the collection!
