Every Mom knows that kids can be the pickiest eaters and trying to get them to eat anything that's good for them can be a tough job at the best of times. The kids in your house might be four years old or forty, but they won't eat anything that doesn't taste good—even when they know that those deep-fried or sugary-sweet treats are no-nos.

Every Mom also knows that trying to cook just one meal at dinnertime that will satisfy everyone can be the ultimate challenge—especially if you're trying to eat better or shed a few pounds. If you've tried serving diet foods to the whole family, you've probably ended up eating yours alone, while everyone else is headed out to the nearest fast-food place.

You can get all the kids back to the table—without coaxing—when they discover eating the Healthy Exchanges way. You'll be cooking up all their favorites, from scrumptious snacks to hearty main-course dishes to irresistible desserts and they'll never suspect that what they're digging into is as good for them as it is good to eat.

So, when Mom goes on a diet, nobody has to suffer, because eating JoAnna Lund's Healthy Exchanges way isn't a diet, it's a way of life that everyone will love. These dishes are so easy to prepare that the whole family will want to get into the act. Even in the busiest households, there'll be great food that everyone can make and enjoy together.
