As a writer, registered dietitian and mom of twins, Janet Helm is an expert in childhood and family nutrition. When she recently featured a new cookbook on her Nutrition Unplugged blog and website, we took notice.
Deliciously Healthy Family Meals is part of the “Keep the Beat™” recipe series from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, National Institutes of Health and U.S. Department of Health.
Not only does this FREE cookbook offer delicious, nutrient-rich recipes to help busy families get food on the table, it also provides tips for involving children in meal preparation. We’ll be adding the entire cookbook to MealsMatter.org and featuring it in a new recipe series in the coming weeks and months. If you just can’t wait that long, download the cookbook here.
We’re kicking off this new recipe series with a family meal that starts with Deliciously Healthy Quinoa-Stuffed Tomatoes paired with Rosemary Oven Fried Chicken and Strawberry Almond Parfaits. Other family-friendly recipes to enjoy all week long include Mini Chile Relleno Casseroles, Zesty Vegetable Salad, Garlic Roasted Red Skin Potato Soup and Spicy Caribbean Chicken Salad
