Make-Your-Own Trail Mix

June 2012

Happy summer everyone. Our CSAs are bursting with kohlrabi, Swiss chard, and fresh herbs, and we're busy getting our kids ready to head off to camp. It's all about fun in the sun here at Meal Makeover Moms' Kitchen. Of course, we're also still cooking up lots and lots of delicious new recipes for you and your families!

Read on for some of the fabulous foods we've whipped up this month ... PLUS two giveaways you'll definitely want to enter.

▪ Our new recipe for Mini Berry Cheesecakes is perfect for spectacular parties (think July 4th cookouts) or special family dinners. They're mini, so the calories aren't through the roof, and the red strawberries and blue blueberries hit all those patriotic colors.
▪ Speaking of raspberries, the Whole Grain Raspberry Breakfast Bars on our blog hit the spot just about any time of the day. They're made with oats, walnuts, whole wheat flour, and fresh berries. Amazing!
▪ Add a healthy twist to summertime munching with our Make-Your-Own Trail Mix featuring whole grain cereal, mini pretzels, walnuts, dried banana chips, dried papaya, and dark chocolate chips. It's a magical combo and a satisfying and nutritious between-meal nibble.
▪ Quench your thirst with our Peachy Strawberry Smoothies. Made with low-fat milk as the base, our summertime smoothies are high in calcium and other essential nutrients.

We're still offering our fans and followers a special discount on NO WHINE WITH DINNER: (usual retail price of $24.95.) Here's the offer:
* $17.50 per book + free shipping (U.S. only) when you buy single copies (1 to 9 books).
* $15.00 per book + free shipping (U.S. only) when you buy a case of 10.
* To order, head over to our main website and type in the code fs2011 to activate your free shipping.

As always, we look forward to staying in touch with you via our blog, Facebook fan page, podcast, Pinterest page, and Twitter.

Happy Cooking Everyone,

Janice & Liz

I Heart Milk Giveawaycropped

"I Heart Milk" Gift Box

We teamed up with the Milk Mustache/Breakfast Project campaign this month to spread the word that low-fat milk can help everyone -- kids, adults, seniors -- fill in the nutrient gaps in their day. To that end, we created a recipe for Peachy Strawberry Smoothies and are offering one lucky winner a gift basket filled with all sorts of morning goodies: a cozy bathrobe and slippers, bath essentials, a cool insulated travel cup, a recipe book, and bath essentials (shampoo, conditioner, and body wash).

There are THREE ways to enter the giveaway: (1) Forward this newsletter to a friend (the Forward to a Friend button can be found at the bottom of the newsletter), (2) Visit Meal Makeover Moms' Kitchen and leave a comment about your favorite ways to incorporate milk into your morning meal (3) Leave a comment on our Facebook page answering the same question. The more you do, the more times your name will be entered. We will pick our winner on July 9th using Random.org. U.S. only please.

Makeover Recipe: Mini Berry Cheesecakes

06 18 12 Mini Berry Cheesecakes 0576closesqe250

Mini Berry Cheesecakes

Cheesecake is notorious for being loaded with fat and calories. We slimmed it down by creating mini cheesecakes ... and we topped them with the summer's best berries. Choose from sliced strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries and then drizzle with pure maple syrup, sliced almonds, and toasted coconut. Delish!
