Down the Cereal Aisle is more than a cookbook. The pages contain not only recipes, but food-related memories and stories of children gone too soon. You can read the book and cry, as well as create one of the recipes and weep. And while you're doing it, it will make your heart feel good that you are remembering a child who did live, was loved and is missed every day. Learn to make Chicken Broccoli Casserole and Tommy's Chocolate Cake. Or just sit down with a cup of your favorite tea and read the poetry and stories in this tender book. Down the Cereal Aisle was compiled by me, with the help of dozens of moms and dads who contributed to the cookbook.

What really makes this book, Down The Cereal Aisle, so special is that it is not ordinary.
Reading the pages of the children who have died, it is clear that the love for them is great and that the pain over their absence is deep.

I learned not only how to make wonderful chocolate chip bars, but how to let grief over the death of my child be a part of me, not something to try to escape. I found comfort in so many of the truths presented in Down The Cereal Aisle.

There is a lot of fluff out there on the bookshelves--books that are all hype without anything solid to tell. But books like Down The Cereal Aisle are needed and valued. I recommend it for everyone.
