The GenX Latchkey Kid Recipe and Activity Guidebook - For a generation that had no guidelines

Shaley Howard

The GenX Latchkey Kid Recipe and Activity Guidebook isn't your typical cookbook. It's a trip down memory lane. Yes, it's full of nostalgic food we ate, but it's more than just recipes. It's a collective generational experience of food, games, and activities. Most of us had little to no supervision, so some of the food we consumed was bizarre, and the activities we engaged in were borderline dangerous. But somehow, we survived. Well, most of us survived. We are a generation of sarcastic, slightly cynical DIY masters, but we sure know how to take care of ourselves (and each other)! I hope anyone who picks up this book has a few laughs and some fond memories from days gone by. Enjoy!
