Once upon a time, stay-at-home mothers had the time and the focus to create three balanced meals a day, including nutritious side dishes. But in today's world, there are many more single-parent homes and families where both parents work.
Meanwhile, children are also busier than ever before, with more homework, more after-school activities, more rushing from here to there. In today's hectic world, who has time to cook, especially when it is far easier to fall into the trap of picking up a quick meal at a fast-food restaurant or pizza joint on the way home.
"Healthy Eating for Kids" was written with the busy family in mind. Most recipes can be prepared in 15 minutes or less, which is less time than you might spend waiting in line for a hamburger and fries.
The recipes in "Healthy Eating" also come in kid-sized portions. If your child is a picky eater and refuses to eat the dinner that you are preparing for the rest of the family, you will be able to whip up a healthy alternative in minutes. On the other hand, if you would like to make a "Healthy Eating" recipe for the whole family, it is simple to do, since it is far easier to multiply the recipe than it is to sort out the portions for just one person.
