This book has literally changed my sister's life. I am very fortunate to have a child who got the "veggie gene". He will eat literally any veggie you put in front of him except onions and potatoes. My sister, however, was not so lucky. Her child is literally the pickiest eater I have ever met. At one point when he was two he would starve before eating anything but bread or frozen waffles. I had this book and let her borrow it to give it a try. She has already made four recipes in the book and every one has been a success! If that isn't a ringing endorsement, I don't know one. Vegetables that her child would look at and promptly throw on the floor are now being eaten and enjoyed by him. I have heard critics who say that you need to just "incorporate vegetables so kids just learn to like them". I would have said the same thing before dealing w. my nephew. Now I understand the frustrated parents who deal w. their picky child. Do you want them to eat their veggies and get the nutrients or do you want to make a big issue over it when they are two?! Thanks, Jessica Seinfeld for helping my frustrated sister (who also happens to be a single mom and that's hard enough).
ps. I originally got the book for my hubby who does NOT have the "veggie gene".
We love the PB and J muffins!
