--Organic Fun Foods for Kids & Grownups--
Davis-Kyle's Kindle book, Organic Fun Foods for Kids & Grownups: Organic Mealtime Adventure Food Recipes for Toddlers to Teens & Beyond--Revised July 2018--introduces more than 50 colorfully illustrated organic fun food adventure recipes most of which are quick-to-fix for your younger tykes or to prepare as a team with your preschoolers.

Many of the one- or two-ingredient adventure food highlights introduced can be served solo, or these nutritious tasty treasures can precede a meal in progress without creating a problem at mealtime. In fact, in their article, "Serving First in Isolation Increases Vegetable Intake among Elementary Schoolchildren," Joseph P. Redden and team concluded from their field studies that "children eat more of a vegetable (carrots, broccoli)" when offered "first in isolation versus alongside other more preferred foods."

Easy-to-prepare dishes such as the "Ancient Pear Volcano," the "Banana Rocket," and the "Cottage Cheese Sea with Strawberry and Blueberry Sea Creatures"--not to mention the "Pepper Space Shuttle Orbiter," "Ancient Sweet Potato Mountains," "Amazing Apatosaurus Eggs," and "Avocado Sailboats"--introduce wholesome food choices that can put children on a path to lifelong better health.

The author encourages nourishing foods to build healthy bodies, minds, and spirits and to keep children and adults trim. The book points out the critical need to protect our honeybees, enumerates eye-opening books and mind-awakening documentaries focused on organic foods, and celebrates more than 100 noble organic farmers, and others who support the production, transportation, and promotion of organic foods.
