by Debbie Koenig

Overview

The ultimate cookbook for new parents, featuring more than 150 recipes designed to help you eat well while caring for your bundle of joy!
When you spend all your time and energy taking care of your new baby, how do you manage to also take care of yourself? Food and parenting writer Debbie Koenig addresses this common dilemma by offering simple, healthy, and delicious recipes for moms and dads who are too sleep-deprived, too frazzled, or simply too busy to contemplate cooking.
From dinners that can be eaten with one hand (while you hold baby in the other) to slow cooker culinary masterpieces and full courses to prepare while baby naps, Parents Need to Eat Too is filled with tasty, easy-to-make recipes, helpful kitchen tips, and real solutions to the problems faced by hungry parents.
