It has become common knowledge that childhood obesity rates are increasing every year. But the rates continue to rise. And between busy work schedules and the inconvenient truth that kids simply refuse to eat vegetables and other healthy foods, how can average parents ensure their kids are getting the proper nutrition and avoiding bad eating habits? A mother of three, Jessica Seinfeld wages a personal war against sugars, packaged foods, and other nutritional saboteurs, she offers appetising alternatives for parents who find themselves succumbing to the fastest and easiest (and least healthy) choices available to them.With the help of a nutritionist and a professional chef, Seinfeld has developed a month's worth of meals for kids of all ages that includes, for example, pureed cauliflower in macaroni cheese, and cabbage in spaghetti and meatballs. She also provides revealing and humorous personal anecdotes, tear-out shopping guides to help parents zoom through the supermarket, and tips on how to deal with the kid that 'must have' the latest sugar bomb cereal.

Summary: LOVE IT!
Comment: I bought this book at ROSS for $8 and I was a little skeptical about all the purees but I have loved everything I have tried so far. I made the buttered noodles, the hamburgers, the banana french toast and the yogurt popsicles. They have all turned out really tastey although I would use vanilla yogurt instead of plain so that the popsicles will not be so tart.

Summary: Great Ideas
Comment: I was struggling with my toddler's picking eating. I anguished over her lack of interest in veggies...this book REALLY helps! I have now been inspired to be creative with my own recipies now that I now how different vegtables puree differently. Great book, try it..You'll love it!

Summary: Wonderfully Delicious
Comment: This book as so many good ideas for little ones and not hard to make. Some of the ideas sound horrible to me, but my daughter ate it up! She loved the applesauce muffins (that had carrots)that I had to take them away from her. Worth every penny!

Summary: Good Encouragement
Comment: I bought this book on the recommendation of a friend who has really enjoyed it. Even aside from the recipes, this book has some good reminders for me about kids and what, when, and how they need to eat.
An example is that often we're out and I forget that my kids really do need to eat on a schedule. I'll stretch them so we can eat when we get home, but what I really need to do is take snacks and sippy cups with us. And I need to be better about doing that.
So, the recipes in this book sound and look great (my friend recommends the donuts and the cupcakes, which I've tasted and were good), but the other dietary information is also encouraging.
And as for the celebrity inference since she's Jerry Seinfeld's wife, I try to forget about it because it bugs me. The value of the cookbook is not because she's someone in particular's wife--rather, the real value of her authorship is that she's a mom of three kids and a husband who all have different likes and dislikes.
