May 2015
April showers bring May flowers, and here in New England, our gardens are finally bursting with color.
Springtime is all about new beginnings and trying new things. So here at Meal Makeover Moms' Kitchen, we have a few new and nutritious recipes that we hope you and your kids will enjoy.
Maria Speck, author of Simply Ancient Grains, recently stopped by for lunch, and together, we cooked up several recipes including her fresh and flavorful Freekeh Salad with Caramelized Cauliflower and Tuna. Think your picky eater won't try it? You'll be surprised ... especially with a name like Freekeh!
As for picky eaters, be sure to watch our Youtube video on Tips for Getting Picky Eaters to Try New Foods. And while you're on Youtube, go ahead and subscribe to our channel!
This week's Cooking with the Moms radio podcast is all about Ancient Grains. What are they, how can you add them easily to your family's diet, and what sorts of recipes can you make with them. You can tune in any time. Read on for details on our giveaway of the new cookbook, Simpy Ancient Grains.
On a final note, we've recently signed on to YUMMLY, a powerful search engine just for recipes. You can quickly search for any combination of ingredients or something as simple as say a lemon poppy seed muffin, and you'll be amazed at the number of delicious matches that pop up. At the bottom of each of our blog recipes, you can now click the YUM button to add our recipes to your personal Yummly recipe box. Enjoy!!
