Recipes To Prevent Childhood Obesity

Healthy Cooking for Kids, encourages the reader to look at your own diet history across your lifespan. Why you eat what we eat. What your parents were taught about nutrition, what they have invoked upon you, and what you have and are teaching your children today.

Healthy Cooking for Kids, is written for you the homemaker as a tool to learn and then pass on to the children and teens in your life. Because, no one in this world is going to care for them like you do. And a diet book handed to them when they are 45 and fat, will be too late.

I welcome you into my world of cooking for kids/cowboys, where you are given simple reminders that food is a primary necessity and secondarily a treat. And eating is the perpetual effect of dieting.
