I don”t do many reviews and giveaways on here but when I do, you can guarantee that I”m ecstatic about whatever it is I”m sharing with you. If I don”t love it, I won”t share it.
I became a tad bit obsessed with the Weelicious cookbook (by Catherine McCord) the moment I got it. It”s so beautifully photographed and designed, it pulls you in the moment you open it. As I normally do, once I browsed through the cookbook I started writing down the name and page number of the recipes that intrigue me the most. I quickly gave up on that idea when I realized I was writing down every page number. I seriously want to make 90% of this book.
Just from reading the recipes I could tell that our family was going to love them. So far we”ve tried four recipes from the book and they have all been perfectly delicious and so simple to make. We made Turkey Pesto Meatballs, Vegetable Frittata, Baked Ziti and Coconut Pineapple Pops. Two of those recipes I made when I was running out of food in the house and instead of going to the store, I flipped open the book. That is a great cookbook to me – one that can produce recipes out of the last remnants of your kitchen and have the results be delicious.
The beauty of it all is that the recipes are simple, appeal to little people and big people alike and are created with nutrition in mind. I”m a huge fan, and I know my kids and I will be referencing this book often over the coming years.

The other thing I love about this book is that the first section of the book is all about nurturing good eaters. I love her stance on not hiding veggies for kids – of letting them know what they”re eating. I found this section to be inspiring and informative, with lot”s of helpful tips.
If you”re a fan of easy family recipes that are tasty enough to make over and over again, I think this is a great cookbook to have in your arsenal.
And, if you want to know a little bit more about the book, straight from the author herself, here”s the beautifully shot trailer. The feelings it evokes are bang on with how this book will make you feel.

Robin who said:
“This cookbook looks great, as I am always excited about new family-friendly recipies. I”m crossing my fingers. My favorite cookbook is the 3-ring binder I”ve put together over the years that has my family and my kid/husband-tested, can get it on the table after a busy work day (or not, depending on the day), flavorful, nutricious meals, with several this-was-Mommy”s-favorite-when-she-was-your-age recipies as well.”
Congratulations Robin! And, thank you all for sharing your fave cookbooks! I loved reading all the recommends and can”t wait to check them out!
Full disclosure: I received a free copy of the Weelicious Cookbook to review. All opinions are my own.
