What to Cook for Kids: The “I Made It Myself!” Cookbook
If you’ve ever stared at a plate of untouched food while your child chants “yuck!”—this book is your lifeline.
What to Cook for Kids: The “I Made It Myself!” Cookbook isn’t just another recipe collection. It’s a joyful, parent-tested playbook that flips mealtime from battleground to bonding ritual—using psychology, play, and a whole lot of ninja oats.
Created for busy parents, allergy-aware families, and anyone tired of cooking separate “kid meals,” this $0.99 Kindle gem delivers 27 simple, silly, and seriously effective recipes that even the pickiest eaters can’t resist—because they helped make them.
“She stirred for ten minutes, named her bowl ‘Oat Masterpiece,’ and ate every bite. When she said, ‘I made it myself,’ I didn’t just smile—I cried a happy tear.”
Why This Book Works When Nothing Else Does
Most “kid-friendly” cookbooks miss the real problem: it’s not the food—it’s the feeling. Kids don’t reject nutrition; they reject being told what to do.
Enter The Rossi Rules—a set of 10 kitchen-tested truths like:
- “Never say ‘healthy.’ Say ‘ninja fuel’ or ‘dino power.’”
- “If they name it, they’ll eat it.”
- “Ownership = appetite.”
These aren’t gimmicks—they’re gentle shifts that honor a child’s need for autonomy while sneaking in real nutrition.
