Green Living Tips & More Extras

This book is more than just a basic cookbook. Daulter offers awesome little green tips living throughout, such as how to green your kitchen, how to make homemade cleaners, how to re-purpose old items, how to be more green as a family and much more. None of the green tips are hard or overwhelming and it's great how they're integrated seamlessly into the recipe pages. Beyond green tips, this book offers so many cool family extras such as advice about u-pick farms, the best healthy seeds, school gardens, baby food tips, finding the best eggs and even sweet little craft projects, like salt dough charms and veggie dyed eggs.

One of the best things about Daulter's style is her ability to share her family's likes and dislikes without preaching or making the entire book about her kids. I've seen plenty of cookbooks where there's more pictures of kids than food, and it's all, "Look at my cute amazing kids" which is so annoying. Daulter doesn't do this at all. She offers a look at her family so you can relate to their various food issues, but overall, Daulter strikes the perfect balance between her own family and keeping the focus of the book where it should be, on healthy meals.
