4.0 out of 5 stars
Great recipes for kids,
By Alec's Mom (Northern California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sugar-Free Toddlers: Over 100 Recipes (Paperback)
I almost wasn't interested in this book because the title made me think that this book would have bland and boring recipes. But after flipping through it I saw lots of things that sounded good to try. And almost every recipe so far has been a huge hit with my 18 month old son. This is amazing to me because I thought he was picky. I guess I just wasn't giving him the kind of foods he likes. This book is, as other critics have noted, NOT sugar free. Fruit juice is a sugar. But I do not consider this a drawback because I think that people who don't eat any sugar of any kind are kidding themselves. The key is to use healthy forms of sugar and not too much. The main reason I was anxious to try these recipes is that nearly all of them use whole-wheat flour or some other whole grain flour and I am a big believer in using whole grains. So nutritious and full of fiber. Best recipes so far that I can highly recommend: Orange-date snack cake, Pilgrim pancakes, and Toddler date bread stix. The Coconut Pineapple cookies, however, were not very good. They were not even remotely sweet enough and were more like a pancake than a cookie. But I heated them up and buttered them and my son ate them for breakfast! So really, what it comes down to is that toddlers DO like these recipes. My son prefers them over the white flour, preservative laced stuff from the store. You can't protect your kids from sugar their whole lives, so give them a healthy alternative.

Yummy snacks,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sugar-Free Toddlers: Over 100 Recipes (Paperback)
My 15-month-old loves the Applesauce-Raisin Muffins, and they were even a hit with my husband! I have several more on my list to try in the coming weeks. The only thing I don't like is that several recipes (frozen desserts, shakes/smoothies) use raw eggs, which is generally considered a no-no these days (at least without a warning in the recipe about the risk - however low it may be - of salmonella poisoning). I may try these recipes using pasteurized egg-substitute in some cases, but the book should probably be revised to say something about that. Besides that one complaint, I'm very pleased with this cookbook and looking forward to making more healthy snacks for my son!

Great recipes for those searching for junk food alternatives,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sugar-Free Toddlers: Over 100 Recipes (Paperback)
This is a good, easy-to-follow jumping off point for parents and teachers searching for natural alternatives to all the processed, sugar laden foods out there. One thing I don't necessarily agree with is the strong urging to use milk (which has contibuted to so many health problems in children like asthma). Recipes are simple enouth to let your toddlers help out!!
