I am a mother of two and a grandma. My children's were day and night when it came to eating. My son ate almost everything I cooked. My daughter was a picky eating although she like her fruit and a few vegetables. I believe getting kids to eat is easier when you involve them in the kitchen. I cooked with my children. I have found children eat what they cook or at least taste it. I have over 10 years experience working with State agencies who specialized getting children to eat more fruits and vegetables.

I had thought one day I would write a cookbook. It wasn't until my son and a child of his own that I thought more about writing a children's cookbook. Last year I was cooking with my adult son when we started teasing each other about our colorful cooking dishes. He is my encouragement in writing this children's cookbook.
