 Author's Afterthoughts

Being a single mother never quite gets “easy”, but it’s an especially
entertaining and complicated feat when they’re young. My kiddos are like
bouncy balls that have been charged with endless energy. They’re here,
they’re there, they’re everywhere! While I have gotten used to all of our
adventures, I definitely have to take a moment to thank you for supporting
my work.
Not only does it allow me to spend more time with my kids, but it also
helps me pay the bills and continue funding new cookbook projects as a
single mom. Cooking for my kids during their picky eating phases is always
tricky, but thankfully I have you to support me so I can get creative in the
kitchen and solve their cravings and your life with all of my recipes.
Just hang in there because it’s only a matter of time before my next book
comes out, but until then, I’d really like it if you could share your thoughts
about my recipes with me. Also, what kind of recipes would you like to see
more of? School lunches? Meals for certain allergies? Whatever you come
up with will benefit all the moms out there (including myself) who struggle
to think of delicious healthy meals our kids will actually eat.

Keep me posted!
