Kudos to Barefoot Books: Kid's Kitchen Review

As a barefoot Books Ambassador, I ordered a fairly new product from the company and was delighted and pleased with the deck containing 40 sturdy 6″x8″ cards of vegetarian recipes. Sure go ahead, you can add the meat if you want to. This is a good way to get kids involved without the cutting and the heat. Plus, children will learn food facts and info about vitamins/minerals.

Here's a sample list you'll find inside:

* Eggs 'n' Beans
Hummus Dippers

* Fantastic Fruit
Apple Volcanoes
Toppling Tomatoes (I can smell the basil!)
Yummy Hot Bananas

* Milk 'n' Dairy
Tropical Milkshake

* Spuds 'n' Grains
Mellow Yellow Rice
Pizza Party

* Vital Vegetables
Roasted Ratatouille
Picnic Kebobs
Mean Green Guacamole
