SynopsisAmerica's kids are overweight and the news media constantly reminds us that we have an obesity epidemic. It's time for our nation's second most powerful army--the legions of soccer moms--to take a stand. And who better to lead the charge than the "ultimate soccer mom" Carla Overbeck, the former captain of the Olympic and World Cup Champion U.S. Women's Soccer Team. Who are soccer moms? They are career women and housewives. But most of all, they are busy! They are raising children that they drive to and from school, various athletic events, and friends' homes. They coach, they cheer, and, they strive to provide their kids with healthy lifestyles. Many times, there just aren't enough hours in the day to do everything. Something's got to give! And, all too often, it's nutrition--with the result being that kids not only can fall prey to the dangers of obesity, but for active kids as well, they just might not have the energy to give it his/her all in the late stages of a crucial game. But it doesn't have to be that way. There are quick, healthy, and tasty alternatives to McDonalds, frozen chicken pies, and potato chips. The Soccer Moms' Cookbook provides those alternatives. Learn how to fuel, replenish, and have fun with food. Learn how to prepare healthy recipes like Ultimate Smoothies, Pizza Balls and Pasta, and Chicken Quesadillas, so your kids have the energy needed to "go for the gold" everyday! Includes vital up-to-date information on vitamin supplements and fast food concerns.
