For the legions of harried moms who have tossed in the dishtowel
on cooking healthy meals (or any meals!), The Moms’ Guide
to Meal Makeovers offers the easiest-ever strategies for bringing
super nutrition back to the family table. Getting dinner on the
table night after night can be a challenge for busy moms (and dads).
So it’s no surprise they often rely on fast food, takeout,
and convenience meals like chicken nuggets, frozen pizza, and fries.
The kids love it, there’s no muss or fuss, but the drawback
is that little twinge of guilt parents feel every time they feed
their families another not-so-healthy meal. At the end of the day,
many children end up with a nutritionally lackluster diet high in
sugar, saturated and trans fats, and calories … a major factor
in our nation’s rising rate of obesity.
In our book, we show fellow moms a better way with realistic guidelines
designed to give families a healthy meal makeover. Our 5-Step Meal
Makeover Plan begins with new advice on how to market good nutrition
to kids, establish food rules, and make life easier in the kitchen.
Our Best of the Bunch chapter reveals
which brands of kid convenience foods – hot dogs, chicken
nuggets, mac & cheese, frozen pizza, and more -- are the best
tasting and most nutritious ones out there. What follows are tips
for stocking a healthy pantry. We even serve up 120 recipes for
family favorites such as Fast-As-Boxed Macaroni & Cheese, Squishy
Squash Lasagna, Cheesy Broccoli Soup, No-Nonsense
Nuggets, Have-it-Your-Way Tacos, Sweet Potato Fries, and Chocolate
Pudding with Toppers. All come complete with nutrition information
and have been made over to be faster and more nutritious than the
originals.
The Moms’ Guide to Meal Makeovers tackles
what’s wrong with today’s all-American diet and offers
realistic and delicious ways to improve it.
