I really like this cookbook: Organically Raised by Anni Daulter. It covers all the areas I need to think about when cooking for my family. For beginners who don't know much about nutrition, it starts with the basics of childrens everyday nutrition needs so we can be aware of how to provide a variety of foods. Most of the recipes are very easy to prepare as well. Every time I open this book, it reminds me that I can add more antioxidants and nutrients to my childrens food. The author helps us by giving us basic ideas and recipes for snacks and meals for babies and toddlers, showing us multicultural recipes that can inspire adventurous eaters, and providing healthy low sugar dessert recipes. This all entwined with high antioxidant vitamin packed ingredients and instructions for zen slow food cooking to top it off.
I find this cookbook unique in that the recipes incorporate vegetables, fruit, nuts, and 'healthy mix ins' (high antioxidant foods such as acai berries, and flax seed) into almost every recipe including the desserts! My latest favorite breakfast recipe is Jenny's Easy Cheesy Egg Souffles. They are individual egg dishes you cook in a muffin pan creating tiny souffles of high antioxidant bread crumb crust topped with eggs with cheese. Yum! My family really likes this one. And, when my baby turns one, I look forward to trying the "Baby Turns '1' No Sugar Cake". It utilizes a variety of pureed fruits, fruit juice, blueberries, cream cheese, ground flax seed, and believe it or not....spinach! If you are nervous about that one, you could always leave it out, but I believe it will blend in well without notice.
