When we think about food, we usually think of three meals: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. What about those yummy afterschool snacks? Readers will learn about the importance of snacks: they aren't just tasty treats to look forward to, but they also help keep us full and satisfied so our blood sugar levels remain level and our metabolism keeps working. From green pancakes to carrot muffins, this book provides students with new and delicious snack ideas.

In addition to meals and snacks, drinks and desserts are a big part of our diet. Many of us have orange juice with breakfast or cake on our birthdays. Do you know you can add carrot and ginger to your orange juice and it becomes an orange zinger? Did you know that rather than a whopping piece of sugary cake, a mini cheesecake is just as scrumptious? Young readers learn how to make both of these recipes and much more. This book teaches budding chefs how to add dessert into their lives so that some of the tastier things in life can be enjoyed, without over-doing it.
