Great for Picky Eaters

Thank you, Sesame Street! My picky 2 year old ate squash! My daughter loves flipping through this book and asking to make things. She usually turns her nose at any new food, but she is willing to try new things because her favorite characters taught us how to make them.

Perfect for the Pickiest Eater in the History of All Picky Eaters

According to my four-year-old son, there are four food groups: 1. Bananas, 2. French Fries, 3. Cheerios, and 4. Chocolate Milk. We have tried the "just offer healthy food and eventually they will cave and eat it" approach, but believe me, the kid can go for days without eating. Weeks even. He will hold out for a french fry for as long as it takes! I've really tried to bump up the nutrition in our household lately, and this cookbook has really been helping. I find that if my son has an active part in helping to get meals on the table, he is a lot more likely to eat them, even if they have "green stuff." I also love it that he is learning where his food comes from and seeing the work that goes into having good things to eat. "C is for Cooking" has made the process a lot more fun for him. He loves choosing what would be fun to cook, and the recipes in the book are for meals and snacks that everyone in the family can enjoy. In particular, we really enjoyed Big Bird's ABC Chicken Noodle Soup, and Cookie Monster's homemade peanut butter was just about the best peanut butter we've ever had! One thing that is great about this cookbook (besides the fun little "Sesame Street" details, such as Big Bird asking you to find the letters of your name in your ABC soup) is that there are cooking steps designated especially for the kids. My son gets really excited about when it's his turn to help! I can't recommend this book highly enough for anyone with picky eaters or small kitchen helpers in the house!

Love cooking with Sesame Street and Gang!

My daughter and I found this book at our local grocery store and we fell in love with the book. Each recipe includes a really yummy looking photo. Each recipe has a equipment list and shows which steps your child can do, it seems to be at least 2 steps your child can do and the least 1 step. The book includes 2 pages on introduction on cooking with your child and how it not only creates great food, but great bonding time as well, what to do before you begin, getting ready to cook and a note about nutrition, and children's safety. Some pages have extra tips, information like on page 93" Big Bird's Granny Bird told him that sesame seeds grow in little pods, or seed cases, on flowering plants that can grow very tall. When the seeds are ready to come out of their pod, the pod burst open with a "pop"! A lot of sesame seeds are grown in the countries of India and China": or objects to count with Count von Count and twiddlebugs to find though out the book. After all of the recipe there are more cool snacks, time spent together and things to do to involve your children with decorating the table, help with the theme of the meal and things to talk about during dinner. And it also has 2 pages on Funny Food Faces to create from the book by the same name. The Sesames Street characters in this book are your favorite characters Big Bird, Burt, Ernie, Cookie Monster, Elmo, Grover, Rosita, Zoe, Oscar, Count von Count and the newest girl on the street Abby Cadabby Sections in the book: Sweet Sips Sunny Days Lemonade Strawberry Mango Smoothie Orange Creme Shake Spicy Cider Hot Cocoa Float Best Breakfasts Banana & Berry Delicious Toast Yummy Pancakes w/Strawberry Sauce Dutch Baby Pancakes w/ Buttery Apples Easy Cheesy Waffles Jelly Omlet Breakfast Banana Split Egg & Sausage Strata Pumpkin Muffins Lunches to Munch on Homemade peanut Butte Sandwiches Egghead Salad Pita Pizzas Bowtie Slad w/ Tuna & Veggies Tutti-Frutti Turkey Salad Little & Adorable Chicken Nuggets Ham & Cheese Quesadillas Favorite Fish Sticks Super Soups ABC Chicken Noodle Torilla Egg Drop African -Style Peanut Butter Cool Cucumber Elmo's Chili Family Dinner Fastest Mac'n"Cheese in the West Enchanting Butterflies & Flower Spaghetti Pie Me Love Min-Meat-Loaves Baby Turkey Burgers Chinese Meatballs w/Sesame Seed Rice Chicken & Couscous w/ Juice-Juice Roast Lemon Chicken Roast Pork w/ Sweet Potato Stripes Something Special on the Side Rainbow Salad Boats Little Trees and Sunshine Magic Golden Zucchini Coins Sesame Green Beans Sticky Gooey Syrupy Squash Me Stuffed Potatoes ( Twice Cooked) Sweet & Treats Beddy-Bye Baked Apples Honesy Pear Crisp Peachy Dee-Licious Applesauce Fruity Frozen Fun Pops Quick Dip in the Mud Peanut Butter & Jelly Thumbprint Cookies Best Blueberry Oatmeal Bars Vanilla Cupcakes w/ Pink Frosting Hooray, It's My Birthday!

Easy kids Eats

I thought this book was awesome. I would never think of putting strawberry jelly on an omelet, but my daughter loved it when she won't eat normal scrambled eggs. The recipes are simple, fun, and inventive. Most of the foods I make are steered towards the adult palett, so this book taught me a lot. As an important note also, these recipes are pretty nutritious. Low-fat cheese and milk, low sodium broths, and they try to incorporate fruits, vegetables, protein and fiber. I love it.

great book

i bought this for my 2 year old grand daughter. she loves helping her mom pick out the meals to cook and she eats everything because she thinks elmo likes them.
