Bite Back Better

52 Presidential Appetizers with a Side of Character-and Cheese

This isn't just a cookbook. It's a stealthy parenting move. A snack-filled history lesson. A weekly excuse to say, "Put down your phone and help me make this."

Bite Back Better serves up 52 crowd-pleasing appetizers, each one paired with a true story from a U.S. president and a value like honesty, grit, or knowing when not to duel someone.

Will you find Lincoln next to a plate of cheeseballs? Absolutely. Are the snack pairings historically accurate? Not even a little. But the values are timeless, and the stories? 100% real-and sometimes 100% ridiculous.

Along the way, you'll:

Laugh out loud (at how the presidents "endorse" their dishes)Learn a few things you didn't get from textbooks or cookbooksCreate memories that stick (like melted cheese on a baking sheet)Oh, and about the illustrations: some presidents may look like your Uncle Bob in a powdered wig. That's AI for you. We focused on flavor and facts-where it counts.

Perfect for families, homeschoolers, or anyone who thinks appetizers should come with a side of meaning, this book is about building character-not just serving snacks.

Because when food meets history, and kids meet real conversations, something amazing happens. (And yes, sometimes it involves salsa.)
