New Cookbook Helps Homeschooling Mothers Prepare Easy Meals; And Teach Academics Right from the Kitchen

GAINESVILLE, Fla., Aug. 23, 2013 /Standard Newswire/ -- Take the monotony out of cooking and make homeschooling fun with Food For Thought: Quick and Easy Recipes for Homeschooling Families. "Homeschooling shouldn't just include sitting around a table pouring over books," says author Lorilyn Roberts, a homeschooling mom for fifteen years. "That's boring," Mothers will find encouraging quotes from noteworthy individuals and imaginative homeschooling ideas. "Perhaps the greatest gift we can give our kids is to encourage creativity," says Roberts. "We can use cooking not only to make tasty meals but to engage our children in thoughtful discussions about philosophy, history, sociology, reading, and the Bible."

Each chapter is preceded with a unique suggestion to enrich a child's homeschooling academic studies; i.e., how school-aged children can "buy" rice to feed the poor in developing countries. One chapter is devoted to easy recipes for the young cook. "Worms in Dirt and Crazy Cupcakes were among my kids' favorites," says Roberts. Food for Thought: Quick and Easy Recipes for Homeschooling Families presents an innovative way for families to cook, learn, and serve others both at home and around the world.

Chapter Headings (72 recipes):

  • Quick and Easy Dinners
  • Easy Meals for Young Cooks
  • Cheap Eating -- Tight Budgets
  • Soups for the Soul
  • Cool Salads for Hot Days
  • Sweets for High Achievers
  • Extras, Extras

Despite being a single mother, Roberts homeschooled both her daughters -- the older one through high school. She believes a free democracy resides in the conservative values homeschooling families instill in their offspring -- the future leaders of tomorrow.

"If we fail to teach our children how to live out their Christian faith practically, we will have lost an opportunity to impact the world for good. It only takes one generation to forget the past. As JRR Tolkien said, 'There is some good in this world and it's worth fighting for.'"
