December, 2013

The holidays are in full swing, which means neighborhood cookie swaps, office parties, and family gatherings. To keep your holidays extra sweet without pouring on too much sugar, we've cooked up some better-for-you goodies to keep you feeling great … without adding extra weight.

Visit Meal Makeover Moms' Kitchen for our newest recipes!

Peachy Pecan Cinnamon Buns are a makeover of the Pioneer Woman's butter-and-sugar-drenched sticky cinnamon rolls. As we like to say here in The Meal Makeover Moms' Kitchen, "our sticky buns won't make your buns big!!"

You don't have to be a savvy baker to turn out our Rustic Pear & Grape Tart. It's nutritious, and we feature a coconut-oil crust that gets rolled out in a zip-top bag. You're going to love this no fuss, no mess recipe.

Bring luscious flavors without all the fat and calories to your cookie jars with our recipe for Chocolate Almond Cookies.

Stocking Stuffer Idea: For just $1.99 in the iTunes store, download our new mobile recipe app, Meal Makeovers. (Available for iPhone, iTouch, and iPad.)

Cooking with the Moms radio podcast: On our latest show, we share a gourmet grilled cheese recipe and the latest happenings in our kitchens and beyond.

You can also hear us this month dishing about keeping your holidays healthy on two other radio podcasts: The Manic Mommies and Heart Filled Holidays.

Wishing you and your families joy and good health this holiday season,

Janice and Liz
