At midday try dishes such as "Lunchtime Pasta and Bean Casserole" or "Crustless Cheese 'n Carrot Quiche" and, for dinner, "Fiesta Tomato Surprise" or "Chicken and Peach Salad." These recipes are so imaginative and delicious, you'll want to make them for your own dinner table! New parents need this book -- they need anything that will make their sleep-deprived lives easier -- but experienced parents can also benefit. With its combination of comprehensive nutritional information and fast-and-easy recipes, "Better Baby Food" is the ideal resource for anyone entrusted with the care of children. This book was developed in association with the world-renowned Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. THE HOSPITAL FOR SICK CHILDREN is acknowledged as one of the foremost children's hospitals in the world, and has been providing leading-edge care for infants and toddlers since 1875. In the 1930s, when malnutrition was common among Depression-era children, the hospital's Dr. Frederick Tisdall developed Pablum, which is now sold by Heinz as "The Original Infant Cereal." Today, with an international reputation for treatment and research programs in all areas of children's health, the hospital treats some 340,000 patients each year.« less
