This review is from: The (No Leftovers!) Child Care Cookbook: Kid-Tested Recipes and Menus for Centers & Home-Based Programs (Paperback)
This book is well worth the money to anyone who is just starting out in Family Child Care. Menu planning is made easy and relativly fast with this cookbook. The recipes are easy to follow and encourage children to try a variety of foods. The Home made Tomato soup is awesome!!!
