5 Fun Rhyming Boys Stories: Ultimate Boy's Collection (Fun Rhyming Children's Books) [Kindle Edition]  by Lily Lexington
Illustrated very colorful children's book. First story is about Danny and he's listened to many stories about heroes and he wants to be one also. He finds it hard to get to sleep at night.
He hears a scream, very long and he rushes to save the girl. He finds out she only wanted someone to taste her stew.
Another story is of a dinosaur and he doesn't like vegetables. When he gets tired from a ball game they figure out he needs more energy and if he ate vegetables he'd have more energy.
Cute tales for boys especially that you can turn into a lesson for the day in real life.

No pictures or nutritional information but this is for those on a Mediterranean diet. There are many courses starting out with soup, salad and then the main dishes.
Stir fry meals would be my favorite as we seem to accumulate left overs after a few days that fit right into the stir fry category.
Other courses are also available and at the end the author's other works are highlighted.

32 No Bake Pie Recipes - The Ultimate No Bake Pie Collection (Dangerously Delicious Pies - The Best Pie Recipe Cookbook Series)
Love all the pies and the flavor combinations. Only problem is there are no pictures and no nutrtional information.

Sandwich Ideas Cookbook. 75 Delicious Sandwich Recipes With Easy To Find Ingredients
Lots of tips and tricks for making sandwiches that can not only be made with bread but other items.
Pictures for the recipes and they are extravagant, whereas I am used to a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or tuna fish.
Photos are high quality and there is no nutritional information.  Like the idea of what to use quinoa with, gonna have to give it a try.
Spices and herbs are used along with fresh vegetables.  Also want to try the sloppy joe recipe as I've always just used a package mix and they contain too much salt and cholesterol and fat for our diets.

The Hope Flower by A.J. Cosmo
Illustrated very colorful children's book about the life of a flower. It grew in a trash covered lot and an angry man would stomp on it.

Mouth Watering Paleo Desserts: Easy, Delicious Recipes For Busy Moms
Healthy nutritious desserts for those on a paleo diet. Love that the recipes sound good but they also include the nutritional information if you are on other diets as well.
If you are new to the Paleo diet you will learn you have to use the ingredients (almond flour and coconut oil) and you can't substitute what you are used to using.  Might take a bit of time to collect all the ingredients from one store
but it'd be well worth it.  Brownie cookies would be my favorite to try.
