I live in Boston and I am a huge Patriot’s fan, so you know I’ll be cheering on my team next Sunday. Plus, I can’t wait to see Madonna’s half time show (is she really still performing?) But I digress.
Back to the food.
I have a guest post on the fabulous site fooducate. Check out three healthy and delicious snacks that pack in the vegetables. And I posted pictures, too!
Enjoy!
Go Pats!
I haven’t been blogging much lately, but I have a good excuse. I’ve been writing a book.
I’m pleased to announce that MyPlate for Moms, How to Feed Yourself & Your Family Better, is now available on amazon.
MyPlate replaced the food pyramid a few months ago as the symbol for healthy eating. MyPlate is based on the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
The book decodes the dietary guidelines so that they make sense for your real life. It’s packed with healthy eating tips that are easy to use, and offers nearly 60 delicious and easy-to-make recipes that reflect MyPlate’s eating suggestions. It also explains how much physical activity you and your children need, and provides easy ways to work in exercise.
MyPlate for Moms is useful for pregnant and nursing women, too. I explain how to adjust your calories and exercise routine no matter what your age or stage.
MyPlate for Moms is on Facebook, too. I’d love it if you would “Like” the page.
Here are three quick and delicious recipes from my book that are posted on Diets in Review:

The No Cook Nut Butter Crunchies can be made with sunflower seed butter, so they’re great for people with peanut allergies.
Enjoy!
Have you seen my other blog at USAToday.com? It features tips for feeding your family healthy foods, and offers a weekly recipe that I prepare with my children as part of Cooking With My Kids. This week’s recipe is Chinese Chicken & Ramen Noodle Salad. Remember ramen noodles? They offer the crunch in this elegant, easy-to-make salad. Check out the recipe at http://tinyurl.com/4×2e5x.
