A Message From The Moms
Cooking with the Moms, our weekly radio podcast, is finally live! Now, each week, you can listen in as we talk about our favorite recipes and ideas for helping families eat a healthier diet. Some of the shows we’ve recorded so far include Vegetables Kids Love, Healthy Snacks for Kids, and Lunch Box Makeovers.
If you don’t know what a podcast is you're in good company. Up until a year ago, we didn’t either! Basically, a podcast is a radio broadcast that is transmitted over the Internet, so you can listen whenever you want. Our weekly podcasts are stored on our website as MP3 files. These files are what you access each time you click to listen.
Every Wednesday, we post our latest show to our podcast page, http://www.mealmakeovermoms.com/podcasts/index.html. You can listen that day or any other day for that matter! There are a few ways to tune in:
1. Sit at your computer and listen. Go to our podcast page and click "listen”
" under the show you want to hear.
2. Go to iTunes and listen from your computer. You can get there from our podcast sub page or go directly to iTunes. Once on iTunes simply click through to the iTunes Store, choose Podcasts, and then the category of Kids & Family. Once you’re there, search for Cooking with the Moms.
3. If you own an iPod (or can borrow one from your kids) you can download each show. If you click "Subscribe" on the iTunes page, Cooking with the Moms will automatically get placed in your iTunes library each week.
We hope you'll tune in and let us know what you think of our new show. If you love it, please tell all your friends and feel free to post a review on iTunes. We've been told that the more 5-star reviews and subscribers we get, the better our chances of being listed front and center on iTunes.
Cooking with the Moms would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors: Eggland's Best Eggs, The Beef Checkoff, and Alpine Lace. We thank them for their commitment to our exciting new podcast project.
We'd also like to extend a huge thanks to the dozens of Club members who sent in their favorite egg recipes as part of last month's giveaway. After cooking up many of the dishes, we chose Scrambled Omelet Breakfast Burritos sent in by Michele M. of Albion, IL. Michele will receive a one-year supply of Eggland's Best eggs, an Emerilware Cast-Iron Skillet, and an All-Clad Reversible Griddle. Her recipe is posted to our blog, so be sure to check it out. We’ll share news of our next Meal Makeover Moms' giveaway in July so be on the lookout for that email.

When we were kids, a weekly treat from the ice cream man was a huge deal. Nowadays, however, some kids expect a treat every time the ice cream truck rolls by (which, as you know, can be daily). To put the kibosh on all those frozen goodies, make your own. This Blueberry Frosty is naturally sweet, super nutritious, and provides a serving of fruit in every frosty glass.
Blueberry Frosty
Makes 4 Servings
2 cups lowfat vanilla frozen yogurt
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
4 ice cubes
Combine the frozen yogurt, blueberries, and ice in a blender. Blend until well combined. Serve in individual glasses with a spoon or straw.
