–Dip & Snack Container (as mentioned in last week’s guest post about Healthy Lunchbox Ideas)
–Heart-shaped Sandwich Cutter
–Heart-shaped lid design sandwich keeper
–Yellow lunch tote (it’s not insulated but it’s very cute!)
–Package of Four Reusable produce bags (as mentioned in my Go Green post last spring)

Kid Favorites Made Healthy {Cookbook Review}

March 5, 2009 By 2 Comments


I picked this book up recently and even though I was actually looking for something else it just jumped out at me! It seems I can never have enough kid-friendly recipe ideas. If you have children (or grandchildren!) you can probably relate! Edited by a registered dietician the first part of the book discusses WHY our children should eat healthier (some of it may be nothing new but I especially like the the scientific approach that addresses general pediatric health, self-esteem and basic nutrition).

Not just a book of recipes, the editors offer presentation ideas that make eating more fun….like Smiling Baked Oatmeal, Peter Pumpkin Pancakes, Crunchy PB and a Wrap, BLT in a Bowl, Brain Power Salad (broccoli), Veggie Mash and Fast & Fruity Mini Tarts. Breakfat, lunch, snacks, dinner and party menu ideas are all included here.

I will defnitely be making many recipes from this book–it’s a winner!
