Product Description
For the legions of harried moms who have tossed in the dishtowel on cooking healthy meals (or any meals!), the easiest-ever guide for bringing super nutrition back to the kitchen.
Getting dinner on the table night after night can be a challenge. So it?s no surprise that busy moms often rely on fast food, takeout, and convenience meals like macaroni & cheese, chicken nuggets, and fries. The kids love it but the drawback is that little twinge of guilt moms feel every time they feed their family another not-so-healthy meal. At the end of the day, many children end up with a poor diet high in sugar, saturated fat, and calories ? a major factor in the rising rates of obesity.
Finally, here are realistic guidelines designed to give families a healthy meal makeover. The Moms lay out a 5-Step Meal Makeover Plan, explaining how to market good nutrition to kids, establish food rules, and make life easier in the kitchen. In The Best of the Bunch chapter they reveal which brands of kid convenience foods?hot dogs, frozen pizza, and more?are the best tasting and most nutritious ones out there. The Moms show how to stock a healthy pantry and whip up delicious anytime meals using pantry staples. They even serve up 120 reworked recipes for family favorites such as Fast-as-Boxed Macaroni & Cheese, Squishy Squash Lasagna, Cheesy Broccoli Soup, Sweet Potato Fries, and Chocolate Pudding with Toppers.

  Learning to cook better for my family August 11, 2008 I have just started this book and it is an easy read with great ideas.
  Great Recipes!!! July 27, 2008 I have only made a few recipes from this book, but they were great, easy and my family loved the food--especially the chocolate banana muffins, the blueberry banana pancakes and the chicken nuggets. This book is worth the money!
  WOW June 1, 2008 Not only does this book have great recipies, the information is just wonderful. I am always looking for new and up to date information about food and good recipies and this book has both. I am very happy I bought this book.
  This is the greatest cookbook if you have younger kids. March 4, 2008 I love this cookbook. I usually cook out of it at least one time per week. I am trying to get my family to eat healthier and the recipes are healthy and very tasty. My son, who is 4, loves the meatloaf muffins. He says that it is his "very favorite dinner". I would recommend this to anyone who is trying to get there whole family to eat better, including your husband.
  I LOVE this book ! February 24, 2008 I refer to this book constantly. I love that it has "better" versions of typical toddler food. I've used the substitutions for macaroni and cheese (the boxed variety) and my kids gobble it up like there's no difference. I am glad to be feeding them something they will actually eat that's more healthy than it could have been.
