Tots Park Cookbook

Please help raise money for the Tots Park by e-mailing your best "Child-friendly" recipes, so that they can be included in a Collective Family Cookbook. The recipes should be on the healthy side, reasonably quick to put together, and something that your child likes to eat. Please make note in the email as to whether the recipe is considered a snack, breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert. Feel free to email as many great recipes as you would like, and we will include as many as we can in the book.

If the recipe is not your own creation, please cite the source of the recipe.

*We also plan on including helpful hints regarding eating w/ children: keeping a child's interest on his/her plate, ways to make the table more fun to be at, positive parenting techniques for picky eaters, etc. - so please email any helpful advice, or pearls of wisdom that you'd like to share in terms of making family dining more enjoyable for the whole family.

Please send all recipes/helpful tips including your full name so that we can contact you with any questions to- Eileen Caulfield at magdaemc@optonline.net no later than March 1st. We will send back an email confirming that we have received your info.
