What’s Inside the Holiday Bonus Pack?
PEPPERMINT BARK BROWNIES
A date-sweetened chocolate brownie base topped with a sweet and creamy peppermint-infused cream cheese frosting and chopped peppermint bark creates a festive holiday brownie with classic holiday flavors and half the sugar of its counterpart.
GUILT-FREE CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES
Carmel-y Medjool dates, creamy peanut butter, and cocoa powder come together to create a decadent no-added-sugar base for these rich chocolate truffles. Dipping them in high quality dark chocolate gives these treats a sweet finish. At 75% less sugar than a typical truffle, they are a delicious and healthy addition to your holiday celebrations.
MR. HENRI’S GINGERBREAD COOKIES
The secret to this healthier take on my childhood favorite gingerbread cookies is date-flour, which lends a naturally sweet flavor to these traditional holiday cookies. Ginger, cinnamon, and cloves add just the right amount of spice without being overpowering.

More About the Book
Today our kids consume at least three times the recommended daily allowance of added sugar. And it’s not just because they are drinking too many sodas. Added sugar lurks everywhere in our food—in yogurts and bottled salad dressings, in jarred tomato sauce and oatmeal packets, and on and on. And it’s a real problem—excess sugar causes a variety of health issues, including cavities, of course, but also type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and fatty liver disease.
Here to help concerned parents is a family cookbook that addresses the problem with reduced-sugar versions of kids’ favorite foods, including dessert. Functioning like a cross between Eat This, Not That and Deceptively Delicious, Half the Sugar, All the Love is an eye-opening education, an action plan, and a cookbook all in one. It shows us how to shop smartly to avoid hidden sugars. Busts the most common myths about sugar (honey is not healthier; sugar substitutes are questionable at best). Gives seven easy tips for globally reducing added sugar at home. Helps us stock our pantries with better ingredients. And then offers 100 family friendly recipes that minimize added sugar while maximizing flavor, from granolas and yogurt pops for breakfast through big-batch sauces to make the tastiest dinners, to ingenious desserts—like Jennifer’s favorite Chocolate and Peanut Butter Snack Cake that gets its sweetness from dates.
