Cookbook Review — Beyond Macaroni and Cheese
August 18th, 2006
Beyond Macaroni and Cheese is a cookbook that was given to me by my slightly older sister a few years ago as a Christmas gift. Inside this book you will find exactly what the cover boasts — Mom-tested and Kid-approved recipes.
This book truly does go beyond Macaroni and Cheese, something that is sometimes quite a challenge. It’s true that raising kids can be very limiting in the food department. There are only so many things they will eat, and only so many things that you are willing to give them regularly. The result becomes a rotation of Macaroni, Spaghetti, Hot dogs, and pizza.
No kid is going to love everything in this book, but here at least you will find a few new and varied recipes to try, and you should end up with at least a handful to add to your repertoire.
Some examples:
Monkey Bread
Mexican Layer Dip
A Different Apple Salad
Cheeseburger Soup
Crockpot Chicken Fettuccine
Chili Verde
Aggression Cookies - a good one for those days when the kids have too much energy
Hello Dolly Pie
Separated into 6 main categories, it is easy to hunt for and find recipes for dinner, breakfast, dessert, etc. while thumbing through this book. I often hand a cookbook to my kids while I am making out my grocery list so they can choose some meals, too.
If you are looking to get yourself and your kids out of a rut, this is a good cookbook to buy.
