Our kids can be great eaters!
After her son was born in 2007, Catherine McCord sought out
resources to teach her how to prepare fresh, healthy, appealing
meals for young kids-but she came up empty. With culinary school
under her belt and a hungry baby to feed, Catherine started
Weelicious.com, a website that has since grown into a comprehensive
offering of kid-friendly family meals.
Complete with beautiful color photos, tips and tools, lists of
pantry staples, feeding plans, and more than seventy new recipes
never before seen on Weelicious .com, Weelicious makes it
easy to get kids eating healthy foods from their first bite.
Catherine teaches parents how to turn their kids into great eaters
who appreciate food and are open to exciting new flavors. With
Weelicious you will:
. Stop being a short-order cook-whip up unique, delicious, and
healthy recipes that everyone in your family, no matter what their
age, will love.
. Inspire your kids to eat healthfully without resorting to
sneaking or trickery-discover a wealth of great tips for getting
kids to eat just by paying attention to how their food is prepared
and presented.
. Get kids in the kitchen from day one-introduce kids to a variety
of foods and include them in the cooking process to set them up for
years of positive eating habits.
. Shop effectively (and make it fun)-bring your kids to the
farmers'' market or grocery store for a hands-on learning
experience when it comes to meal planning.
. Give kids some choice-strategically allow them to have more input
and control over what goes into their bodies so they can "own"
their choices.
From first-food favorites such as Sweet Potato-Coconut Puree and
The Teething Cookie to family-friendly Veggie Nuggets, Rice Cooker
Mac and Cheese, Chicken on a Stick, Shrimp Tacos, and Cheesy
Chicken Taquitos to treats like Banana Bread Cake, Raspberry-Cream
Cheese Heart Tarts, and Chocolate Velvet Beet Cupcakes, these
recipes are perfect for little taste buds and sophisticated adult
palates alike-and best of all, every single recipe has been created
with health and wholesomeness in mind.
More than just a cookbook, Weelicious is the ultimate
cooking bible for families-a resource that will stand the test of
time as the family grows!
Creator of the wildly popular blog Weelicious.com, McCord, who honed her cooking skills at Manhattan's Institute of Culinary Education, strongly believes in the "one family/one meal" idea--preparing a single, scrumptious meal the entire family can sit down and enjoy together.
