Fresh Baby: So EasyToddler Cookbook and Kid's Portion Plate Review and Giveaway! - CLOSED!

I was given two products to review from Fresh Baby: the So Easy Toddler Food Cookbook and the Kid's Portion Plate. Both items are must have for parents with small children. Sam is 3 and is so thin! I often worry that he isn't getting enough to eat because he'd much rather play than sit down to eat! The So Easy Toddler Food Cookbook is a great cookbook filled with 35 healthy recipes for even the pickiest eater! This cookbook is also filled with great tips for picky eaters, such as "Children are more likely to eat something that they have helped make. Get your children involved in preparing meals." I have tried two of the recipes so far: Pineapple Kabobs and Sunshine Wraps. Sam actually stopped what he was doing long enough to try these and to my amazement he cleared his plate!
The Kid's Portion Plate is great too! It has 3 divided sections that are appropriately sized for: Fruits & Vegetables, Proteins, and Grains. This plate is dishwasher safe but cannot be used in the microwave. My kids actually fight over who gets to use this plate so we are going to need another one! This plate helps to support healthy eating for our kids. It is good to learn portion control now and that they should be eating foods from all of the food groups!
More About Fresh Baby:

Helping parents raise healthy kids:

The facts are disturbing. One in six children attending school today are obese. The number of obese preschoolers has doubled in the last 3 decades and 30-40% of these children are now at risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes. More alarming still, a staggering 80% of overweight children will grow up to be obese adults. Tallman and Ahlers believe one of the keys to solving this healthcare crisis lies with parents.

With research concluding that children's eating preferences are established by age 3, it is clear that parents play a crucial role in getting their children off to the right start. Fresh Baby was founded on the belief that all parents want to raise healthy children, but when it comes to healthy eating habits, they lack the tools, skills, and knowledge needed to be effective.

Fresh Baby's commitment to equipping parents goes beyond product sales. Their monthly newsletter, Fresh Ideas, is completely free and packed with family-friendly recipes and tips on healthy eating for the whole family. Cheryl and Joan also volunteer their time speaking to groups of new parents on subjects such as introducing solid foods, making baby food, and raising a healthy eater.

Making fresh, natural foods easy, convenient, and fun:

Both Cheryl and Joan started out by making food for their own children and found that it was actually easy with a few simple tools. And interestingly, once they got started making baby food, it was really quite convenient. All total, it took about 30 minutes a week. The So Easy Baby Food Kit is the result of this experience and much research. The kit provides families with everything they need to create homemade meals for their babies. Just open the box and get started.

Fresh Baby puts a modern twist on the conventional wisdom that when you make it yourself, you know it’s better. From writing easy-to-follow, tasty recipes for using fresh ingredients, to recommending simple activities that build good eating habits, to answering all the questions and eliminating the guesswork, Fresh Baby has thought of it all.

Fresh Baby Goal

“The ultimate goal of Fresh Baby is to have our name synonymous with family-friendly healthy eating." says co-founder Cheryl Tallman. Over time, Fresh Baby will offer a complete array of products for newborn through school-aged children that support parents in developing good eating habits for their children and thereby reduce their children’s risk of obesity.
