Moms 176: Super Bowl Menu - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | It's not every day you get to meet a professional football player, but last week, we found ourselves at a "secret" location outside Boston where New England Patriots player, Wes Welker, was being photographed for this week's Super Bowl-inspired Milk Mustache ad. We've done some work for the Got Milk campaign in the past and know some of the folks who help to pull these ads together. We were thrilled when they invited us to the photo shoot ... and even more thrilled to find out it was Wes (yes, we're now on a first name basis). Tune in for a behind-the-scenes peek at our afternoon at the Milk Mustache photo shoot and for two new and nutritious Super Bowl party recipes: Super Bowl Buffalo Chicken Dip and Corn and Carrot Chowder.

Moms 175: Kitchen Innovations - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Last Friday, Janice traveled to Chicago for the 2012 Kenmore Blogger Summit. Forty-plus food, mommy, humor, and even daddy bloggers descended on the Windy City (which happened to also be a snowy city that day) to learn about Kenmore's innovative new kitchen and home appliances and to share input on the products and features consumers are looking for. You can hear all about her trip on this week's podcast. You won't believe the Kenmore Elite(R) Trio(R) 31 Cubic Foot Refrigerator with Grab-N-Go(tm) Door state-of-the-art refrigerator she drooled over!

Moms 174: Immune-Boosting Foods - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Colds. Flu. Achoo!! As far as we're concerned, getting the sniffles, or worse, a headache and fever, is one of the yuckiest parts about winter. To keep our immune systems -- and yours -- in tip-top shape during winter (and all year long for that matter), we sat down via Skype with fellow registered dietitian, Victoria Shanta Retenlny, RD to dish about her new book, The Essential Guide to Healthy, Healing Foods, and her best food secrets for keeping our immune systems armed and ready for attack. During the show, we share two new recipes: Victoria's Fruity Yogurt Parfaits with homemade granola and our Immunity Booster Blast smoothie.

Moms 173: 2011 Reflections and 2012 Wishes - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | On this week's show, we look back at 2011 -- a year filled with farm-fresh foods, unique dining experiences, and the launch of No Whine with Dinner, and we look forward to 2012 ... with gusto. It seems like yesterday that we were caught up in the Y2K hysteria (yes, we each hoarded bottled water), and we can't believe it's already 2012. But alas, time flies when you're having fun … and eating lots of great food. Read on for highlights from the year as well as a look back at a busy 12 months of book promotion activities, our favorite culinary adventures and recipes, our wishes for 2012, and a glimpse into our upcoming foodie road trips.

Moms 172: Creamed Spinach Makeover and Holiday Food Recap - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | When we think of creamed spinach, our minds wander back to the 1950s and 60s. We're not sure why, but creamed spinach has a certain, shall we say, retro feel about it. It's also loaded - and we mean loaded - with more saturated fat and calories than a nutrient-rich vegetable like spinach deserves! One of our Facebook fans just asked us to give creamed spinach a healthy makeover, so we got cooking and came up with a recipe that's sure to get your taste buds asking for seconds and thirds! Our Crazy-Good Cream-less Creamed Spinach is perfect for the holidays...or any time of the year, and it has a fraction of the bad-for-you fat found in traditional creamed spinach. We share this healthy new side dish recipe on this week's show and also dish about our holiday food adventures.

Moms 171: Potato Latkes and Bar Mitzvah - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | On December 3rd, Liz's son, Simon became a Bar Mitzvah. Liz is so proud; she's still kvelling! On this week's show, we chat about the service and the evening party, marvel over the gigantic soccer cleat-shaped cake that was created by Wilson Farm, share a Recipe for Success that Liz whipped up just for Simon, and also share a Hanukkah recipe for Sweet Potato and Ginger Latkes. Tune in for a lesson on Yiddish and all the other fun news from the Bar Mitzvah day.

Moms 170: Cookie Swap - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Every year around this time, Janice attends her annual neighborhood cookie swap. Last year, she brought our Ginger Drizzle Cookies from No Whine with Dinner. The year before, it was Our Favorite Chocolate Cookie from The Moms' Guide to Meal Makeovers. Last night as a dozen friends gathered to exchange cookies and gossip, Janice treated her fellow cookie swappers to something new: our latest makeover for sticky, gooey, over-the-top decadent Seven Layer Bars. On this week's show, we bake up a batch of Lightened-Up Seven Layer Bars and serve up a taste of Janice's sweeter-than-ever swap.

Moms 169: MyPlate for Moms - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Are you old enough to remember The Four Food Groups? We certainly are. If not, you probably remember the Food Guide Pyramid. Last spring, the Pyramid was replaced with a new symbol called MyPlate. On this week's show, registered dietitian, Elizabeth Ward joins the show to tell us all about this plate-shaped icon and to dish about her new book, MyPlate for Moms: How to Feed Yourself and Your Family. Elizabeth, a mom of three, explains how to customize MyPlate to your family's likes, dislikes, and lifestyle. She also explores the importance of protein & whole grains, and she cooks up two recipes from the book: Pork, Asparagus, and Cashew Stir Fry and Cinnamon Pumpkin Smoothie.

Moms 168: Farro: An Ancient Grain - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Farro is an ancient grain first cultivated in the Fertile Crescent of the Middle East over 10,000 years ago. It's been around for a loooong time. Farro was the main grain of the Egyptians and sustained the Roman army as they conquered the Western world. Farro eventually fell out of vogue due to higher yielding wheat varieties. But today, farro has made a comeback thanks to trendy restaurant chefs and health--conscious home cooks... and thanks to The Meal Makeover Moms. On this week's podcast, we share Farro cooking tips as well as two healthy new recipes: Carrot and Zucchini Farro Risotto (which we posted to the blog on 11/21/11) and Kale and Vegetable Soup with Farro.

Moms 167: Brussels Sprouts - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | This is the show you've all been waiting for. The show you've all been asking for. The show that will change your life forever: Brussels sprouts. That's right. Whether you love Brussels sprouts like we do or you're skeptical about trying them ... today's show will ignite your passion for this nutrient-rich cruciferous vegetable. We have two new recipes to share, both perfect for your Thanksgiving table ... or your family dinner table any time of the year. Better-for-You Brussels Spouts Gratin is a makeover of a Brussels sprouts gratin recipe that we found on AllRecipes.com made with over 2 cups of cream. (Blech!) Our other scrumptious recipe is for Roasted Sesame Brussels Sprouts. For more information, visit the Moms' website and blog at http://www.mealmakeovermoms.com. | 11/16/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Moms 166: Food and Nutrition Mentors - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Katherine Musgrave, RD is the reason Janice became a registered dietitian. During her sophomore year at the University of Maine, she took an elective course called Intro to Food and Nutrition, and Katherine was her professor. So inspired by Katherine's enthusiasm for the subject of nutrition, Janice decided to switch her major from Microbiology to Food and Nutrition. She's so glad I did. After all, her love of food is much stronger than her love of microbes! On this week's show, we feature an interview with Katherine Musgrave and chat about the other people who have mentored us throughout our nutrition and cooking careers. Be sure to tune in, because Katherine has been a dietitian for 70 years and you simply won't believe all the changes she's seen over the decades!

Moms 165: Cooking with Tofu - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | At least once a week, Liz finds herself walking down the aisles of Whole Foods. And at least once a week, a cookbook called Tofu 1-2-3 catches her eye. We love this book and yes, we love tofu. Tofu is made from the curds of soybean milk. Tofu is nutritious -- it contains iron, copper, omega-3 fats, and calcium (depending on the type of processing), and consuming soy protein can lower cholesterol levels. Oh, and it's super versatile. The trick to making tofu a regular part of your family's meal plan is to know what to do with it. So on this week's show, we share tips for squeezing the water out of tofu to impart a "meatier" texture and four recipes: Sweet and Sour Tofu, Peanut Butter Cup Pie, Strawberry Fields, and Raspberry Smoothie (the latter two will appear on Meal Makeover Moms' Kitchen next week). Preparing four recipes in one day, taking photos, and washing piles of dirty dishes was no easy task, so we hope you'll tune in to the show to hear all about our tofu adventures...and to laugh a little too!

Moms 164: Food Day 2011 - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | The first-annual Food Day took place earlier this week on October 24th. Think Earth Day...but for food. The event, founded by the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), aims to highlight six important principals: Reduce diet-related disease by promoting safe, healthy foods; support sustainable farms and limit subsidies to big agribusiness; expand access to food and alleviate hunger; protect the environment and animals by reforming factory farms; promote health by curbing junk-food marketing to kids; and support fair conditions for food and farm workers. To celebrate Food Day, we attended a community sourced pot-luck supper sponsored by Boston Food Swap, and we brought along our Sweet Ginger Carrot Soup, starring fresh vegetables from each of our CSA shares. On this show, we dish about our recipe, all the delicious details from the event, and we feature interviews with event organizers.

Moms 163: Halloween Gets Healthy - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | On October 31st, kids from coast to coast will dress up, stay out late, and fill their Halloween buckets with lots and lots of candy. It's just one of those days where kids' sugar consumption increases dramatically. What's a concerned parent to do? On this week's show, we make gooey, chewy, sugar-laden Halloween less horrific with recipes for Juicy Mango Wigglers (a homemade makeover of Jello Jigglers) and Chocolate Pumpkin Whoopie Pies. The addition of pumpkin ups the nutrition, and we don't use any butter in the whoopie pie batter or the filling. We also share some creative tricks for downsizing your Halloween handouts and managing all the candy your little goblins bring home Halloween night. Tune in for all the gory details!

Moms 162: New Food Product News - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | At this year's annual meeting of the American Dietetic Association in San Diego, we spent a lot of time wandering through the expo hall in search of new and nutritious food products. On this week's show, we share some of our favorite food finds and chat about other show highlights: an amazing lecture by Dr. David Katz of Yale University, a recipe for Greek Stuffed Eggs that we sampled at one of the after-hours receptions, and a recipe for California Avocado and Mango Chicken Salad that we prepared at the California Avocado Commission booth. We also had an opportunity to meet up with some of our Meal Makeover Moms' fans...including possibly one our cutest fans ever, 5-month old Lenny. Tune in for all the delicious details.

Moms 161: CA Avocado Grove Tour - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | It's not every day you get to take a tour of an avocado grove. But that's exactly what we did during our recent trip to San Diego for the annual meeting of the American Dietetic Association. The day before the conference began, we boarded a bus for Hidden Valley Ranch, a 400 acre avocado grove in Poway, CA. Thanks to the California Avocado Commission (CAC), dietitian members of the Nutrition Entrepreneurs practice group also had an opportunity to take the tour. On this week's show, we interview a rancher, discuss the nutritional benefits of avocados, and share tips for the best ways to ripen, seed, and peel them. We also share two of the avocado-inspired recipes we enjoyed on the tour: Avocado Quinoa Tabouli and a healthy Avocado Chocolate Mousse.

Moms 160: Hooray for Books - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Who knew reading could be so delicious! At Hooray for Books in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, Mary Murphy, a former kindergarten teacher and mother of five (yes, you heard that right!), blends a love for reading with a dash of humor and a pinch of cooking. On this week's show, we take a road trip to Hooray for Books where Mary reads The Pea Patch Jig to these pint-size "Chefs in Training" and then gathers them 'round for a hands-on cooking class. On the menu today: Mrs. Murphy's Famous Zucchini Bread. Mary says that by showing children how to cook, they become more invested at mealtime and more likely to try new foods. We couldn't agree more!

Moms 159: Heart Healthy Eating - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | September 29th is World Heart Day, so we decided to devote this week's show to easy tips for eating and savoring a heart-healthy diet. Back in the day, a heart-healthy diet was far from satisfying and quite restrictive. Eggs, nuts, and shrimp were often off limits, and people were urged to opt for fat-free fare. Today, research shows that a heart-healthy diet can and should include a wide array of mouth-watering and nutrient-rich foods: eggs, seafood and shellfish, canola oil (the lowest in saturated fat of all the popular cooking oils) and other good-for-you fats, nuts, fruits and veggies and so much more! On the show we feature two recipes; Bistro Chicken Salad and Quick Dark Chocolate Brownies. Both feature ingredients like canola oil, which research shows can help to reduce heart disease risk.

Moms 158: Lunch Box Safety - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | A recent study on Temperature of Foods Sent by Parents of Preschool-aged Children found that most sack lunches are kept at unsafe temperatures, and researchers say this could lead to foodborne illness in kids. On this week's podcast, we share important tips for keeping school lunches out of the temperature "danger zone" of 40 degrees F to 140 degrees F where bacteria can grow. We also serve up a new recipe for Curry Chicken Salad Wraps and some exciting giveaway news. Oh, and hold onto your hats folks: September is National Food Safety Education Month, so there's no time like the present to give your lunch box-packing routine a food safety makeover!

Moms 157: After-School Snacks - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | How did summer fly by so quickly? Janice's daughter, Leah, went back to school yesterday; Liz's boys go back next Wednesday. As our families adjust to early morning alarm clocks, homework, and piano lessons we thought it would be fun to create a new back-to-school snack recipe our kids and yours would enjoy. Our latest recipe for Banana Peanut Butter Muffins hits the spot with our crew --- they're always starving when they get off the school bus --- and provides a boatload of great nutrition thanks to the peanuts and peanut butter. On the show, we share the recipe as well as favorite go-snack ideas from our Facebook fans and Twitter followers.

Moms 156: Home Canning Craze - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | For two long centuries, consumers have been preserving food by canning local and seasonal produce grown in backyard gardens and purchased at farmers' markets. Home canning, or "putting up" as it's often called, is growing in popularity --- sales of canning equipment are up 30% --- and now, we, The Meal Makeover Moms have taken the plunge and are jumping on the nationwide canning craze. On this week's show, we feature a recipe for Bread and Butter Pickles and an interview with home gardening and canning guru, Mo Gouin. Mo is a friend of Janice’s parents, and his New Hampshire vegetable garden will amaze you!

Moms 155: Family Mealtime Games - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Family dinners provides an opportunity for parents to role model good eating habits, and we know from recent research that when children and teens share family meals, they are more likely to maintain a healthy body weight and eat a healthy diet and less likely to engage in disordered eating practices. In the real world, however, even if you put a dynamite meal on the dinner table, in some households, finicky eaters may push their food away, active toddlers may prefer playing with toys to sitting still at the table, and busy teens who bounce from activity to activity may grab dinner and eat it on the run. Given those scenarios, we decided to conduct a comprehensive review of mealtime "games" designed to keep families (especially children) engaged at the dinner table. This week’s show offers a look of our favorite dinner games, conversation starter kits, placemats, and playful utensils.

Moms 154: The Best Baby Food - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | If recipes for Four-Fruit Compote, Fabulously Fried Sweet Potatoes, and Very Veggie "Meat" Balls sound good to you, imagine how delicious they'll be when your baby or toddler tries them. On this week's show, we caught up with Tina Ruggiero, registered dietitian and author of the playful new cookbook, The Best Homemade Baby Food on the Planet. Filled with 200 recipes created for six to 23-month old children and helpful mealtime tips, Tina's book exposes babies and toddlers to a wide array of colorful and nutrient-rich foods. Tina believes that when babies are introduced to avocados, papaya, leeks, lentils and other super-healthy foods, they're more likely to eat and enjoy a varied diet when they grow up.

Moms 153: Ancient Grains - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Whole grains --- farro, wheat berries, quinoa, barley, bulgur --- are nutritious and their wide array of textures and flavors offer endless possibilities at the table. On this week's show, we talk to Maria Speck, author of the beautifully-illustrated new cookbook, Ancient Grains for Modern Meals about the benefits and culinary versatility of whole grains. We met up with Maria at her home and prepared a delicious lunch featuring recipes from her book: Mediterranean Mussels with Farro and White Wine, Bulgur with Butter-Roasted Almonds, and a wheat berry fool for dessert.

Moms 152: Summer Food Faves - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Here in New England, we count the days until summer. Why? Because it's so darn cold and snowy the rest of the year! This summer has turned out to be warm and sunny, and the bounty of fresh produce has been something to celebrate. On this week's show, we share a new recipe for Sweet Carrot Ginger Soup, dish about Janice's July 4th visit to her parent's lake house in N.H., travel with Liz to Nantucket for some fresh, seasonal island nibbles, and reveal what's growing at our CSAs and in our backyard vegetable gardens.

Moms 151: Summer Salad Dressings - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | When we think "summer," we think fresh, colorful salads tossed with zesty homemade dressings. While store-bought dressings may be convenient, making dressings from scratch with a handful of simple ingredients -- things like evoo, vinegar, lemon juice, honey, fresh herbs, and garlic -- can be almost as convenient...not to mention fast and flavorful. On this week's show, we talk to Kirsten, a fan and a mother of two from California who also happens to work for the California Olive Ranch company. She shares her expertise on olive oil -- how it's made, the best way to store it, its many health benefits -- and chats with us about two family-friendly salad recipes: Greek Village Salad and Sweet Basil Dressing. Tune in for the recipes as well as news on the Seasons Best Salad Recipe Contest hosted by California Olive Ranch (you could be a winner)!!

Moms 150: Vegan Diet Challenge - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | The vegan diet --- a vegetarian diet also devoid of eggs, dairy, honey, and other animal by-products --- is all the rage. It's been featured on Oprah, Ellen, and Martha and it's making its way into the mainstream. On this week's podcast, we sit down with our nutrition intern, Ashley, to chat about her self-imposed Vegan Diet Challenge. For Lent, Ashley decided to give up meat and follow a vegan diet. Through her month-long culinary adventure, she sampled new foods and flavors, read food labels like it was nobody's business, and came to the realization that eating in restaurants was "nearly impossible." We also share one of Ashley's favorite vegan recipes for Eggplant Scallopini that she adapted from the Moosewood Cookbook.

Moms 148: The I Love Hummus Show - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | When it comes to hummus, we're huge fans. Hummus is a dip or spread made with cooked, mashed chickpeas, tahini (sesame seed paste), lemon juice, and lots of other yummy things. We often serve it with lots of crunchy vegetables --- things like baby carrots, sugar snap peas, and celery sticks. Recently, Liz traveled to Richmond, VA where she toured the Sabra company's hummus factory. She was joined by a group of fellow food bloggers and learned that using hummus as a dip is just the tip of the culinary iceberg. Liz shares her hummus adventures on this week's podcast and serves up a delicious recipe for Hummus Deviled Eggs.

Moms 147: Omega-3 and Health - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Did you know that salmon and sardines are two of the best sources of health-enhancing omega-3 fats? Lucky for us we love salmon...and like sardines (okay, so maybe they're not our favorite fish on the planet)! Omega-3 fats are critical for good health. They reduce our risk for heart disease and are vital for normal brain development in the fetus and young child. On this week's show, we're joined by Harvard cardiologist, Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian. He offers a primer on omega-3 fats and answers questions from our Facebook fans including: Do you have to eat the skin of the fish to reap the benefits of omega-3s, should I give my children omega-3 supplements and if so, what's the best kind, and are non-seafood sources of omega-3s just as beneficial as marine sources? Be sure to tune in for the skinny on omega-3. For more information, visit the Moms' website and blog at http://www.mealmakeovermoms.com. | 6/1/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Moms 146: Indoor Grilling - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | It's hard to believe Memorial Day is this Monday (!!), and just in case the weatherman doesn't cooperate, we decided to create a veggie-topped burger recipe using our indoor grills. The recipe is made with ground beef and grilled red bell pepper and red onion ... and it's topped with super-flavorful basil pesto. Oh yes, and of course, it's served on a whole wheat hamburger bun. We share our juicy burger recipe on this week's Cooking with the Moms podcast, and we also announce our latest giveaway for a George Foreman Grill and exciting news about a recipe contest that we will be judging. Indoor grilling makes good nutrition easy because the fat drips away. In fact, Expect to lose 42% of the fat when you cook 80/20 ground beef on an indoor grill.

Moms 144: Mediterranean Diet Month - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | The Mediterranean diet -- rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, seafood, nuts, legumes, and olive oil -- is one of our favorite styles of eating. It's naturally nutritious, and the flavors are irresistible and kid friendly. So when our friends at Oldways told us that May was Mediterranean Diet Month, we decided to get in on the action. To learn all about it, we invited Sara Baer-Sinnott, President of Oldways, to join us for a Mediterranean-inspired lunch of Make-Your-Own Veggie Pita Pizzas and be a guest on the show.

With seven kids between them, these busy moms from Wisconsin have devised a system where they get together every six to eight weeks to cook and freeze dozens of meals between them. Their freezer cooking frenzy saves time and money, and the result is freezers filled with hearty, family-friendly meals that are always at the ready. During the show, we share their tips as well as a recipe for Spicy Sausage, Beans & Rice.

Janice recently traveled to this Nordic nation with six fellow dietitians on a culinary adventure sponsored by the Norwegian Seafood Export Council. Her group -- clad in rain gear and waterproof boots -- toured salmon farms and sardine plants, learned about the latest research on seafood and health, cooked at the Norwegian Culinary Institute, and even took a thrilling ocean rafting ride through the fjords of Bergen.

Moms 140: The Skinny on Nuts - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Plant-based diets have received quite a bit of attention over the past few months ... from the growing popularity of Meatless Monday to the recommendation in the new Dietary Guidelines for Americans to eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and beans. A lot of what we at Meal Makeover Moms revolves around getting more of these foods onto the family table, so on this week's show, we share two new recipes featuring peanuts: Peanut Butter & Honey Noodles and Peanut Butter Chocolate Dip. We also unveil a new website from our friends at the National Peanut Board, The Skinny on Nuts, where consumers can go for the latest news on nut nutrition, family-friendly peanut and peanut butter recipes, and myths and truths about food allergies.

Moms 139: Dining in the Dark - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Have you ever said to yourself, "Gee, tonight I think I'll eat dinner with a blindfold on?" That thought never crossed Janice's mind until a few weeks ago when she joined 34 fellow members of the Massachusetts Dietetic Association for a Dining in the Dark event...and they did just that. The concept of eating in complete darkness started with a blind clergyman from Zurich named Jorge Spielmann. When guests ate dinner at his house they would wear blindfolds during the meal to show solidarity and to better understand Spielmann’s daily challenges. Guests felt the blindfolds heightened their sense of taste and smell and made their dining experience more enjoyable. On this week's Cooking with the Moms podcast, Janice shares her unusual dining adventure with Liz and welcomes dietitian Marci Anderson, to the show. Marci spoke at the Dining in the Dark dinner, and she joins us on Cooking with the Moms to explore the concept of mindful eating as a way for individuals and families to develop a healthy and positive relationship with food.

Moms 138: Food Photography 101 - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | "Back in the day" when we went to college to study nutrition, the Internet, for all intents and purposes, did not exist, and there was no such thing as a blog. Today, there are well over 150 million blogs on the internet — featuring everything from food and nutrition to fitness and crafts — filled with countless (and we mean countless) photographs. Food photography wasn't a required class when we became registered dietitians, but as food bloggers, it's certainly a skill we need to know today. On this week's show, we're joined by professional food photographer, Gary Tardiff, who shares his tips and tricks for taking beautiful food photographs.

Moms 136: Eat the Rainbow - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | We celebrate National Nutrition Month this week with a show dedicated to eating the colors of the rainbow. The theme of this year's National Nutrition Month – which, by the way is sponsored by the American Dietetic Association -- is Eat Right with Color...something especially important for kids who often prefer a beige-colored diet dominated by chicken nuggets, French fries, and macaroni and cheese. To explain why eating a colorful variety of foods is so important for good health and to share tips for getting more color on your family's table, we are joined by Melissa Halas-Liang, a dietitian, mom, and the mastermind behind the amazing website, Super Kids Nutrition.

Moms 135: Knife Skills - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Last weekend, Janice took a knife skills class at a cool cooking school called ArtEpicure, located in the historic Brickbottom Artists Building in Somerville, MA. The event was sponsored by the Massachusetts Dietetic Association, so during the day, she enjoyed the company of nine other knife-wielding registered dietitians. The group practiced proper technique for slicing, dicing, and knife sharpening, discovered the difference between a brunoise and a chiffonade, and most importantly, learned how not to slice off the tips of their fingers! We dish all about it on this week's podcast. For more information, visit the Moms' website and blog at http://www.mealmakeovermoms.com. | 2/16/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Moms 134: Healthy Valentine Cupcakes - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | To celebrate Valentine's Day, we decided to give chocolate cupcakes a healthy makeover. As moms, we're often asked by our children (and sometimes their teachers) to bake "something special" for Valentine's Day, and on this week's show, we deliver! Rather than use sticks of butter and cupfuls of sugar, we baked up a new recipe for Berry Good Chocolate Cupcakes using good-for-you ingredients like wild blueberries, canola oil, and whole wheat flour. Our mini cupcakes are rich and delicious … without all the saturated fat and calories. On the show, we also savor some of dark chocolate's health benefits.

Moms 133: Science of Picky Eating - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | If feeding your family is driving you crazy -- perhaps you have a picky eater who is less than enthusiastic about trying your healthy homemade meals -- it's time to jump into the mealtime driver's seat and take control of the wheel. On this week's podcast, we explore the science of picky eating with dietitian Maryann Jacobsen from the blog, Raise Healthy Eaters. Maryann recently wrote a comprehensive 5-part series on Picky Eating (it's a great read!) and she joins us this week to discuss why kids are picky (it's perfectly normal), common mealtime mistakes parents make, and picky eater solutions.

Moms 132: Cooking with Canned Tomatoes - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Even though fresh tomatoes are a bit dicey this time of year in New England, it's nice to know you can still savor the summer's best tomatoes...from a can. It's also nice to know that canned tomatoes are higher in the cancer-fighting antioxidant, lycopene, than fresh tomatoes. Why? Because the heat from cooking actually releases this important nutrient. On this week's show, we dish about the culinary benefits of canned tomatoes and feast on a tomato-inspired dinner that Janice recently attended. It was hosted by Muir Glen at a restaurant in Cambridge, MA called Garden at the Cellar. We also share a recipe for tomato soup (it's so rich and creamy, you're going to love it!) and offer up a canned tomato giveaway.

Moms 131: Cookbook Roundup and Giveaway - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Despite a rough economy and all the free recipes available on food blogs and recipe sites, cookbook sales are stronger than ever. In fact, according to a piece in the Huffington Post, cookbooks are the only book sector on the rise (yippee, hooray, oh happy day!). We have been asked to review quite a few cookbooks this year — two of our faves were The Essential New York Times Cookbook and Cookie Swap! --- and recently, the books have really started to pile up. So for this week's show, we decided to move the pile from Janice's bookshelf to our podcast studio (AKA Janice’s card table) and to share highlights from some of the newest food and nutrition books to hit the market. We also cooked up a recipe for Fruitcake Cupcakes (we think they're more "muffin" than "cupcake") from a new book called, FoodFest 365!

Moms 111: Great Sodium Debate - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Should all Americans pay closer attention to shaking the salt habit? The answer is, "Yes" according to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, a group established to update the 2005 Dietary Guidelines. According to the committee, "On average, Americans of all ages consume too few vegetables, fruits, high-fiber whole grains, low-fat milk and milk products, and seafood, and they eat too much added sugars, solid fats, refined grains, and sodium." To that end, they suggest we all lower our sodium intake to 1,500 milligrams a day --- a lofty goal indeed given that, on average, Americans consume 4,000 milligrams daily. So in this show, we explore ways to cut back on sodium...everything from navigating the supermarket aisles to new ways to prepare food.

Others thumb through the recipes, see what catches their eye and then shop for the ingredients...while others look through the index for ingredients already on hand and then get cooking from there. During the show, we also share recipes for The Best Cookie Ever and Vegetarian Enchiladas.

Moms 104: Soy Story - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | This week's show is all about soy. Soybeans are a type of legume native to Southest Asia. They may be tiny, but soybeans are the most widely grown legume in the world with about 210 million tons cultivated annually. That's a lot of beans! Foods made from soy include tofu, soymilk, edamame, soynuts, miso (soy paste), tempeh, soy burgers and soynut butter. To explain how soy foods can fit into a healthy family diet we invited pediatrician, Dr. Alan Greene, author of several books including Raising Baby Green and Feeding Baby Green, to be a guest on the show. Soy foods often find their way on to Dr. Greene's dinner table (he has four kids), so we asked him to weigh in on the health benefits of soy, the difference between whole and processed soy, and the role soy may play in heart disease and cancer prevention. We also have a recipe to share for Tropical Soymilk Smoothie. For more information, visit the Moms' blog at http://www.mealmakeovermoms.com. | 5/19/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Moms 103: Breakfast for Dinner - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Lately, we've been up to our elbows in recipe testing for the new book. So when Eggland's Best Eggs invited us to a food blogger's dinner in downtown Boston, we jumped at the opportunity (plus, they've been our podcast sponsor since the show launched, so we were eager to meet them). At their Breakfast for Dinner event, we met fellow food bloggers from the Boston area, and had an opportunity to sample some delicious egg-inspired dishes: French Toast with Warm Vermont Maple Syrup, Linguini Carbonara, and Duck Omelet made with duck confit, crumbled blue cheese, and baby spinach. We also learned about the new-and-improved EB eggs – they provide vitamins D and E, lutein (an antioxidant good for eye health), and omega-3 fats. On the show, we also feature a kid-friendly recipe for Crispy Kale Chips (you'll have to listen to find out what kale chips have to do with eggs)!

From Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution to Chef Ann Cooper's mission to transform highly processed school food to highly nourishing food, we explore some of the innovative programs taking place from coast to coast.

Moms 101: Foodie Conference - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Recently, while Liz sat in Boston with nowhere to go (her family's flight to the UK was canceled due to the erupting Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland ... say that five times backwards!) Janice flew to Portland, OR for the annual meeting of the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP). She feasted on fine food and hobnobbed with famous foodies, and on today's show, she shares all of those fabulous adventures.

Moms 100: Show 100 Celebration - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Today marks the release of our 100th Cooking with the Moms podcast. It's hard to believe we made it this far...but we're fired up and ready for the next 100! When we look back, we can't stop smiling as we remember our favorite episodes. For Liz, our Composting for Dummies show (Episode 73 on September 23, 09) jumps out as one of the funniest ever. If you haven't listened to it yet, be sure to tune in. Janice's hubby, Don, was our guest, and for a mild-mannered home inspector, he's an absolute hoot! As for Janice, her favorite was Episode 83, Kitchen Stories with our Moms, which featured kitchen memories from Janice's mom, Carol, and Liz's mother-in-law, Joy. During the show, we share listener emails and a new recipe for "Sushi" Ham & Cheese Roll Ups.

Moms 098: Teen Meal Makeovers - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Teenagers are often tempted by a diet of pizza, white bagels, French fries, and soft drinks. On today's show, we give teen favorites a healthy makeover. We also answer common questions posed by teens and their parents including, "are diet soft drinks okay for teens," "what’s better, whole milk, skim or something in between," and "can certain foods help to fight stress?"

Moms 097: "Lets Move" Michelle Obama - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | When Michelle Obama announced her Let's Move initiative to end childhood obesity, we jumped for joy (okay, maybe not literally, but certainly figuratively). The goal of Let's Move, in the words of the First Lady, is "to solve the problem of childhood obesity in a generation, so that children born today can reach adulthood at a healthy weight." Sadly, since 1980, rates of childhood overweight and obesity have tripled. Today, over a third of America's youth weigh too much. The initiative strives to tackle four things: Healthier Schools, Physical Activity, Accessible and Affordable Healthy Food, and Healthy Choices. That's certainly a tall order, but we believe Obama's challenge to all of us -- parents, school administrators, restaurants, supermarkets, the food industry -- is not just timely and critical ... it's doable. How do you feel about Let's Move and what's happening in your home or community to reverse the obesity/poor nutrition tide?

Moms 096: Good Manners for Kids - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Does your child burp at the dinner table, diss your home cooking, get up and down from the dinner table, or run around at a restaurant when he should be sitting politely with a napkin on his or her lap? If you've struggled with good manners, be sure to tune into this week's show for advice from our guests, Alex Von Bidder and Leslie McGuirk. Alex and Leslie wrote the wonderful new children's book, Wiggens Learns His Manners at the Four Seasons Restaurant, and they know first-hand what it takes to get kids focused on good manners.

Moms 095: Potato Casserole & Spud Facts - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | On today's Cooking with the Moms' podcast, we feature a stick-to-your ribs, family-pleasing recipe for Ham & Broccoli Hash Brown Casserole. The inspiration for this dish came from a Facebook fan who sent us a saturated fat laden hash brown casserole recipe and asked us to give it a makeover. Not only did we slash the bad fat and the sodium in the recipe, we added some broccoli for extra good nutrition. In the show, we also share some fun facts about potatoes.

The reason we're excited to talk about "The Ranch" is because we recently returned from a one-week visit where we gave a lecture on the Secret to Healthy Meal Makeovers and led a hands-on cooking class at the Ranch's beautiful La Cocina Que Canta (The Kitchen that Sings). We enjoyed meals of locally-grown, organic produce, fitness classes, early-morning hikes and so much more. One of the recipes we created for our cooking class was Grilled Salmon with Avocado Cilantro Sauce. Enjoy! | 2/3/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Moms 090: Casseroles with a Twist - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Gooey and gloppy are just two of the words that come to mind when we think about classic casseroles. Typically made with creamed soups and lots of butter and full-fat cheese, casseroles get a bad nutrition rap because they have a tendency to stick to the ribs... and to the waistline. For this week's show, we decided to add a contemporary twist to casseroles by skimming away some of the bad fat and the excess calories and by incorporating some good-for-you ingredients (things like light soups, vegetables, whole wheat pasta blends)... and we do it without sacrificing the time-honored flavors. Our featured recipe is Silly Salmon Noodle Bake. | 1/20/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Moms 089: Vegetarian Delights - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | For today's show, we hop to one of the hottest food trends for 2010: meat-less meals. Vegetarian diets are growing in popularity. In fact, 3.2 percent of U.S. adults, or 7.3 million people, follow a vegetarian-based diet. To join the bandwagon, we created two new vegetarian recipes: Very Veggie Chili and Silky Chocolate Caramel Pie. The chili features Galaxy's really delicious soy-based Veggie cheese (completely cholesterol and saturated-fat free) and the pie is made with a surprise ingredient: tofu!! | 1/13/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Moms 087: Persimmon Cookie Rescue - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | In season October through February, bright orange persimmons are often found adorning holiday tables... but have you ever tried them before? Much to our embarrassment, neither of us had feasted on persimmons until Catarina, a Facebook fan from San Ramone, CA sent us a box filled with Hachiya (hi-CHEE-ah) persimmons picked straight from her father-in-law's backyard persimmon tree. When Catarina posted a note on our Facebook fan page asking if we could give her mother-in-law's persimmon cookies a healthy makeover, we accepted the challenge. Made with a cup of shortening, we knew we could lighten things up while removing all the unhealthy trans fats. Be sure to tune into this week's show to learn all about persimmons and to hear how we "rescued" Catarina’s wonderful Sweet Spiced Persimmon Cookies. | 12/30/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Moms 086: Quinoa Karma - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | A recently discovered ancient "grain" native to South America, quinoa was once called "the gold of the Incas." The Incas recognized the value of quinoa in increasing the stamina of their warriors. Quinoa is a complete protein – it includes all nine essential amino acids and is a good source of magnesium, manganese, iron and copper. It is similar in size to couscous and is technically considered the seed of a plant related to beets, chard and spinach. When cooked, the seeds "sprout" and become fluffy yet slightly crunchy. The three delicious, family-friendly recipes featured in today's show include: Crunchy Quinoa with Almonds & Apricots, Lemony Red Quinoa with Butternut Squash and Roasted Quinoa with Potatoes and Cheese. | 12/23/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

First published in 1941, Gourmet was the first magazine devoted to food and wine. To pay tribute to this illustrious foodie publication, Liz's Gourmet Cooking Group recently enjoyed a holiday-inspired feast with recipes exclusively from Gourmet. We hope you savor this week's show as we dish about Gourmet and Liz's favorite recipes from the meal -- Porcini Mushroom Soup and Gingered Carrot Latkes. | 12/16/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

On a recent trip to Napa, CA, we ate a spectacular breakfast at the Boon Fly Café. The dishes we devoured inspired us to create two family-friendly breakfast recipes that you can enjoy at any meal. The first recipe for Green Eggs & Bacon Pizza is sure to please every child at your table. Made with eggs, a few slices of all-natural bacon, baby spinach, and reduced-fat cheese, it's hearty and healthy, and all of our kids loved it. Our second recipe for B.L.T. with More is a classic B.L.T. topped with a surprise ingredient: an egg. | 12/9/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Moms 083: Kitchen Stories with Our Moms - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | This week, we toured ten lovely kitchens in Melrose, MA (that's where Janice lives). The kitchen tour was part of a local fundraiser, and we decided to bring Janice's mom along as well as Liz's mother-in-law, who was visiting from England. After the tour, we invited the moms back to our studio to record a podcast on all of our kitchens from the past as well as our kitchens of the present (with a few dreams for the future mixed in). We had lots of laughs and learned about the challenges past generations faced when it came to getting a healthy, square meal on the table (let's just say there were no Sub Zero refrigerators back then)! | 12/2/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Moms 082: Healthy Thanksgiving - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | On this week's show, we're talking turkey with two family-pleasing recipes! Clearly we're not the only ones with turkey on our minds. According to the National Turkey Federation, every year, Americans consume an estimated 46 million turkeys on Thanksgiving Day alone. Our first recipe for Golden Mashed Party Potatoes calls for Yukon Gold potatoes, which have a naturally creamy and buttery flavor, and sweet potatoes, packed with immune-boosting vitamin A. The fat and calories in this simple side dish are considerably less than most traditional mashed potato recipes -- typically made with beaucoup butter -- because we get away with just one tablespoon. For our second recipe, we cooked up a turkey leftover recipe from the November, 2009 issue of Bon Appétit magazine for Barbecue Pulled-Turkey Sandwiches. The sandwiches were tasty, filling, and best of all, kid friendly! | 11/25/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Moms 080: Pizza Tonight - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Kids between the ages of 3 to 11 prefer pizza over all other food groups for lunch and for dinner. Pizza is a quintessential family favorite, but it can also be a nutritional nightmare when topped with things like pepperoni, sausage, and gobs of full-fat cheese. To lighten things up, we created two new pizza recipes guaranteed to keep the troops happy. Our first recipe for Buffalo Chicken Pizza Pies uses whole wheat English muffins as the base. For the topping, we sauté diced chicken and bell peppers with hot & spicy buffalo sauce and blue cheese dressing. Part-skim mozzarella cheese is the final topping. Our second recipe for Sausage, Mushroom & Cannellini Pesto Pizza is packed with great flavor, and the "sauce" will surely surprise you.

Janice took a cool cooking class at Cook Street School of Fine Cooking, tried the local beer at Wynkoop Brewery, and hob knobbed with friends from Johnson & Wales (a culinary school in Providence, RI) at Venice, a yummy Italian restaurant.

They're made with healthy ingredients like carrots, whole wheat flour, and canola oil, and they're perfect for a neighborhood party or as something special when the kids get home from school.

Our second dish for Easy Enchilada Casserole first appeared in our cookbook, and it's a favorite among our loyal Meal Makeover Moms' following!

Home inspector by day and composter, well, by day, Don is an old pro at turning food scraps and garden clippings into rich, nutrient-packed soil.

If your child is in daycare, preschool, or elementary school, chances are there's a class celebration every week or two. That's a lot of cupcakes. As moms and dietitians, we have nothing against an occasional cupcake, but we understand why some schools have revised their party policies. Among the concerns: food allergies, a commitment to more time spent on learning and less on parties, and worries over the expanding waistlines of American children. If a "no cupcake" rule in your kid's classroom has you stymied, tune in for our Krazy Face Fruit Kebab and Meringue Cloud Lollipop recipes as well as our food-free party ideas. | 9/9/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Our first recipe for Spinach Goo was featured on our blog recently as part of our ongoing Recipe Rescue series. It's a great side dish or vegetarian main dish.

The gluten-free diet has received a lot of attention over the past few years as more and more people have been diagnosed with this autoimmune condition. It's estimated that 1 in 133 individuals suffer from celiac disease. The only treatment is a diet devoid of gluten – the protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. During the show, we discuss many of the helpful books and websites now available and share two gluten-free recipes: Fudgy Black Bean Brownies and Garden Minestrone Soup. | 8/19/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Moms 067: Back-to-School Breakfast - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Now that the lazy days of summer have abruptly come to an end for many families across America, we decided to record a show on back-to-school breakfast ideas for kids of all ages. It's often been said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. The reasons: Research shows that children who eat the morning meal have higher achievement scores, lower rates of absence from school, and increased concentration in the classroom. Eating breakfast is also associated with a healthier body weight. According to the American Dietetic Association, however, more than half of all teens don't eat breakfast on a regular basis. To entice your children to the breakfast table (or back to the table if they've been skipping it), we have two new recipe creations. The first for Blueberry Breakfast Parfait is a fun change of pace from the usual bowl of cereal. Our second recipe -- Berry Good French Toast -- features a naturally sweet, super healthy topping alternative to maple syrup. | 8/12/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Liz's travels took her throughout New England. First up was a trip to Nantucket where she ate at Town, Dune, and Lola 41, and stayed at a lovely inn called the Veranda House. She also visited Chatham, MA and Portsmouth, NH. They say Portsmouth has more restaurants per capita than anywhere else in the U.S. Janice and her family drove from Boston to D.C. Packed in her car was a cooler filled with her CSA produce from the week (which she cooked up for friends on their first night away)! She ate at Annandale Yechon, a Korean barbeque and got a view of Michelle Obama's White House vegetable garden. | 8/5/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Moms 065: Summer Gardens & Greens - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Last week when Janice and her family traveled to Washington, DC on vacation, they stopped by the White House and had a chance to see Michelle Obama's organic vegetable garden. Though they couldn't get too close -- the secret service were everywhere so scaling the fence was clearly not an option -- Janice imagined she saw a bounty of ripe, juicy tomatoes, zucchini, and Swiss chard growing throughout the eleven hundred square foot garden. Our backyard gardens will never be as fancy as Michelle's, but we're still pretty darn proud of what we've each managed to grow this season. That's the topic of this week's show. Tune in as we dish about the nutritional merits of all sorts of greens -- spinach, chard, collards -- and share two fun recipes: Panko Crusted Goat Cheese Rounds and Beet Rosti with Rosemary. | 7/29/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Moms 064: Healthy Road Trip Food - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | According to AAA, over 37 million travelers took a road trip of 50 miles or more over the fourth of July weekend.

To steer clear of fast food restaurants and road-side convenience stores, we suggest you pack your own foods – preferably healthy ones – the next time you hit the highway. In this week's show, we share two easy-to-pack nibbles: Turkey 'n Cheese Pretzel Sticks and Ham & Cheese Wraps.

Moms 060: Pregnancy Nutrition - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | A lot of the conventional advice about what to eat before, during, and after pregnancy has changed quite a bit since we had kids. For the latest, greatest diet recommendations, we turned to Elizabeth Ward, MS, RD, author of the new book, Expect the Best. On this week's Cooking with the Moms' podcast, she shares a lot of surprising information. For example, did you know that when couples are trying to get pregnant, dads-to-be should take a daily multivitamin? The reason is that men need folic acid, vitamin C, and zinc for healthy sperm formation. Another surprise: Pregnant women, on average, consume about 54 milligrams of DHA omega-3 fat per day though their needs are much higher at 200 to 300 milligrams. To put that recommendation into perspective, consider that a 3-ounce serving of salmon has 740 milligrams. For lots of interesting pregnancy guidelines as well as Elizabeth's Salmon Burger recipe, be sure to tune into the show! | 6/17/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Moms 059: Underweight Kids - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Recently, Liz overheard one of her son's 10-year old friends say, "I have to eat junk food because I'm too skinny." Liz's ears perked up because this thin, physically fit 4th grade boy was by no means "underweight." There are two common misconceptions we hear bantered about all the time: The first is that if a child is skinny, he must be "underweight." The second is that skinny kids should eat junk food in order to gain weight. To set the record straight, we explain how doctors and dietitians calculate a child's weight (technically, an "underweight' child falls below the 5th percentile for age and gender), share tips for adding high-quality calories to an underweight child's diet, and serve up two delicious recipes packed with great nutrition: Ham & Cheesy Breakfast Sandwiches and Krispy PB & Chocolate Treats. | 6/10/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

On the show, we focus on fiber, offering busy parents lots of tips for adding more roughage-rich foods during meals and snacks. | 6/3/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Moms 057: Sports Nutrition for Kids - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | On this week's show, we answer many of the questions we hear on the soccer field sideline and in the basketball stands: "What are the best kinds of carbs for kids?" "Does protein really build strong muscles, and do kids who play sports need more than kids who don't?" And, "are sports drinks really necessary?" To help us answer those questions and many more, Nancy Clark, author of Nancy Clark's Sport's Nutrition Guidebook, joins us in the studio. Nancy also share some of kid-friendly recipes from her book: Sugar & Spice Trail Mix, Homemade Sports Drink, and Crushed Tortilla Chip Casserole. | 5/27/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Moms 054: Vitamin D Nutrition - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Vitamin D – the sunshine vitamin – is best known as the vitamin that cured rickets. But today, vitamin D is being hailed for doing much more. It helps the body absorb calcium, so it maintains healthy bones and helps prevent osteoporosis (10 million Americans over the age of 50 are diagnosed with the "brittle bone" disease every year). New research suggests that vitamin D may also protect against certain cancers, type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and autoimmune diseases. Good dietary sources are fortified foods such as milk, yogurt, margarines and cereals, catfish, sardines, salmon, tuna and egg yolks. Our two featured recipes in today's show can help to boost your vitamin D intake: Banana Split Smoothie and Grilled Mozzarella & Smoked Salmon Panini.

Moms 048: Bento Box Lunches - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | If your kids suffer from brown bag boredom, try packing their school lunch in a bento box.

The boxes are beautifully designed, and a staggering 12 million bento-box meals are sold each day. You don't have to live in Japan though to use a bento box. For school-age kids, there are plenty of simple, plastic bento boxes to choose from (we like the boxes from LaptopLunches.com).

Moms 047: Lowdown on Legumes - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | Legumes are some of the healthiest foods on the planet yet they are often misunderstood. Legumes include thousands of plants -- beans, lentils, peanuts, peas, and soybeans -- that have seed pods split along both sides when ripe. Ask most people, "what’s a legume?" and you’ll hear a bunch of answers such as, "a body of water," or "a grassy swampy area," (lagoon) and "stockings" or "socks" (leggings)! Legumes are packed with protein, fiber, iron, folate and other health enhancing nutrients. The two kid-friendly recipes in this show are Mexican Lasagna featuring black beans and Peanut Butter Power Cookies featuring peanuts, a legume and not a nut.

GOOD!!!!
Hi! Your podcast is really good! (If you will look above you will see that I did give you 5 stars. Now that is what I call good proof!) In my opinion, you should have the favorite recipes of nieces and nephews as well, but particularly nieces. ps. I don't happen to be related to Liz or Janice. ESPECIALLY not Liz. And I certainly am not the child of her older sister. I mean, I don't know if she has an older sister named Amy- or Betty, or Ruth, or whatever her name might be. I mean, if she does have an older sister. Yeah, okay, I'm going to stop writing right about now.
Wonderful!!
The book, the website and now a podcast! Thank you so much!
Sensational Smoothies? YES!
It was another humid and stormy New England day -- dreary, my mood was low, even my kitchen looked drab. I went on-line to try to find some inspiration to cook and came up short until I found the Meal Makeover Moms talking about Fruit Smoothies (Moms009 Sensational Smoothies). Great Podcast -- inspiring and authoratative, but also casual and funny. I dashed to the supermarket and came home to whip up their Very Mango smoothies.Yum! The weather didn't improve, but my mood did, and my kitchen even began to look less drab! Go Moms!
