Notes about Recipes in this book

• Beet carrot salad

  • kastnich15 on August 11, 2025

    This is good as a little side salad.

• Cheesy pasta salad

  • D.Barker on February 14, 2022

    This was super easy, and a huge hit. The kids (1 and 3) gobbled this up insanely fast.

• Tangy sesame-cucumber salad

  • D.Barker on February 14, 2022

    This was a surprise hit with the kids (1 and 3)! I did do a few modifications. I added a bit of salt, and a splash of white vinegar since my rice vinegar seemed to be a bit sweet. But other than that the kids loved it and it gave us enough for a couple lunches.

• Fruity cottage cheese salad

  • D.Barker on February 14, 2022

    Another kit for the kiddos (1 and 3). They gobbled it up very quickly and immediately wanted more. Great for easy lunchtime ideas.

• Summer melon salad

  • kastnich15 on August 11, 2025

    This is a simple but very delicious combination!

• Silky tomato soup with grilled cheese crouton bites

  • kastnich15 on August 11, 2025

    The soup isn't anything unusual, but the grilled-cheese crouton idea is fu,n and they are both tasty.

• Mom's white chicken chili

  • kastnich15 on August 11, 2025

    My whole family really loves this, and I'm not usually a big soup person.

• Apple, honey, and cheese quesadilla

  • kastnich15 on August 11, 2025

    This is a good and interesting combination. It's just not something I would make very often.

• Chicken pesto panini

  • kastnich15 on August 11, 2025

    This is a simple and yummy panini.

• Grilled cheese and pickle panini

  • kastnich15 on August 11, 2025

    This is fine but a pickle on the side is better.

• Veggie burgers

  • kastnich15 on August 11, 2025

    This is the only veggie burger my whole family likes (including the big meat eaters). I like that it isn't full of crunchy things like nuts or seeds. They are good on their own, dipped in ketchup and mustard.

• Veggie-heavy pizza sauce

  • D.Barker on February 14, 2022

    This ended up really tasty! I did make a few modifications, such as adding a hefty amount of salt and pepper. But our kids (1 and 3) devoured this and I felt good getting a good amount of veggies in them.

• Pizza quesadillas

  • D.Barker on February 14, 2022

    As far as easy lunches go, this wasn't a huge hit with either kid. It just kind of ended up soggy and nasty.

• Beany cheesy burritos

  • kastnich15 on August 11, 2025

    These are quick, easy, and tasty.

• Easy chicken nuggets

  • kastnich15 on August 11, 2025

    Everyone in my family liked these a lot! They are the best "healthy" nugget alternative I have tried.

• Mexican-spiced rice balls

  • kastnich15 on August 11, 2025

    I couldn't get this to work.

• Roasted vegetables

  • kastnich15 on February 18, 2025

    This is more of a method than a recipe necessarily but it is the perfect introduction to roasting vegetables. Our favourite combination is mushrooms, red peppers, carrots, and onions.
