More August News, 2012
It's back to school time for The Meal Makeover Moms which means we're back to setting the alarm clock, packing lunches, reminding the kids to "do your homework," and sitting down around the dinner table (versus the picnic table). Ah, let the fun begin. We suspect you're in the same boat as we are, so we're here with a few new recipes to make your mealtime routine easier, tastier, and more nutritious!
Overnight Oatmeal for breakfast will hold you and the kids over until lunch. Top with anything you love: toasted nuts, dried or fresh fruit, peanut butter, or shredded coconut.
Green Pea Hummus is easy to whip up; serve it as an afternoon snack with pita chips or as a pre-dinner nibble.
Our recipe for Fruity Chicken Kebabs (page 36 of No Whine with Dinner) is a fun lunch box alternative to the usual turkey sandwich!
To keep summer alive and kicking for a few more weeks, we created a light and refreshing Mediterranean Shrimp Marsala Salad. Crisp greens get topped with colorful cherry tomatoes, fresh herbs, artichoke hearts, white beans, sauteed shrimp, and a luscious "dressing" made with Holland House Marsala Cooking Wine.
To streamline your time in the kitchen, we are giving away a 6-quart slow cooker. Read on for details for how you can enter to win this must-have kitchen appliance!
