My children are only just starting to eat solid food that isn’t puréed and I’ve been making a lot of mashed vegetables, fruits etc and wanted something to keep refined sugar out of their diets and ideas for foods to introduce as they get older. These are also recipes the whole family can enjoy - my husband and I are looking forward to tasting more of these ourselves!

There are some great, healthier alternate recipes in here that I can’t wait to try. Some of the recipes still do contain sugar and I’d love to find a healthier alternative, but this recipe book is a great start and I can’t wait to give some of them a go!

Thank you to #netgalley and #harvesthousepublishers for this amazing recipe book. I think it’s so important to teach our children healthy eating from an early age and this recipe book is fantastic.

I have to admit that although there are plenty of good recipes in the book, there was still a lot of refined sugars being used when I wanted to find an healthier alternative for in desserts, but was only a for those recipes - so bare that in mind. Overall, I am pretty impressed with the variety of options given and household favorites revamped for a healthier option. There are a few that I will be trying immediately but hope my little one enjoys them. I know I will be cutting out the chocolate and refined sugars for those desserts in favor for something else that could naturally sweeten them. But I do like how easy some of the recipes are and little ingredients needed for each. There was a trend with some of the recipes having some of the same ingredients, so you could bulk up on those items for the week and make a theme of it. It would cut additional costs later.
