Is your family dinner menu stuck on repeat? A local Bay Area mom-turned-cookbook-author wants to help you get your groove back in the kitchen, and turn your little picky eaters into full-fledged food adventurers. The secret sauce is outlined in her new book, The 52 New Foods Challenge: A Family Cooking Adventure for Each Week of the Year. In addition to providing practical advice on shopping seasonally, cooking with kids and fostering peace (not war) at the dinner table, her prescriptions are completely approachable for even the busiest family, as they require only a 1-2 hour time commitment each week. For a taste of what the book has to offer, author Jennifer Tyler Lee has shared three of her family’s favorite recipes and a few invaluable tips with us. Click through to sample them all!

No Sneaking!

"A critical part of your food adventure involves having your kids prepare their own food to know what is in their food. No secret ingredients, hidden in the mac 'n' cheese or blended into a smoothie. If your kids are going to eat it, then make sure they peel it, squeeze it, chop it or dice it!"
