Premiere children's cookbook with healthful alternatives to high sugar, white flour, apple dishes. No artificial sweeteners are used.
PR9.NET September 30, 2013 - Maryville, MO - One of the country's most prolific apple writers has written a new apple cookbook for kids and teens that helps them learn to cook without all the sugar often found in traditional recipes. Healthy to the Core! All-Natural Low Sugar, No Sugar Apple Recipes for Kids by Lee Jackson is filled with over 70 recipes using a healthier approach to preparing apple recipes. With the growing concern of obesity in our country, especially in children, this cookbook addresses healthier practices when preparing apples.
Jackson firmly believes food affects the way a person looks and feels. Through study and research, she formulated a ten point program on improving health of kids and their families. From this list she concentrated on what she calls The Big Four: avoid refined sugar, avoid white flour, avoid GMO products, and use healthy cooking oil. These practices have been incorporated into the recipes, along with suggestions for preferred kinds of products to use.
Through these recipes, kids learn to make snacks such as apple chips and apple roll-ups; they can munch on apple leather, sample apples in breads, salads, main dishes, desserts, and learn how to make applesauce and many other dishes. They'll learn which apple varieties to use with what kind of recipes. Through short vignettes throughout the book, kids meet Johnny Appleseed and Isaac Newton and learn how apples have impacted the history of America.
Jackson is passionate about children eating healthy and living a healthy life-style. She has been a long-time family and consumer sciences teacher, focusing on foods and nutrition. She is the author of 4 award-winning books, two of which are apple cookbooks. Her healthy eating websites include http://www.cookingandkids.com/blog and http://healthykidseatingtips.com. The apple cookbook, Healthy to the Core! All-Natural, Low Sugar, No Sugar Apple Recipes is $14.95 and can be found at select bookstores and libraries and from the publisher's website: http://www.imagesunlimitedpublishing.com
