In conjunction with the 19th Annual Healthy Weight Week, join the Meals Matter Moms & Registered Dietitians on Facebook Wednesday, January 18th at 10 a.m. PST for a LIVE chat on healthy, sustainable lifestyle habits!
Recently, the U.S. News and World Report (with input from a panel of health experts) ranked the top 25 diets and eating patterns. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) pattern, which emphasizes low-fat milk and milk products, fruits and vegetables while minimizing sodium, came out on top.
Since January 15 marks the start of the 19th annual Healthy Weight Week to celebrate healthy living habits that last a lifetime, we’ve compiled this week’s family meal recipes from our own DASH cookbook available at MealsMatter.org.
DASH your way to a healthy weight this week with a featured family meal of Sweet & Tangy Yam and California Raisin Salad, Cedar Baked Salmon with Watercress Yogurt Sauce and Berries with Custard Sauce. Continue this healthy eating pattern all week long with Cheer ‘Em on Moccachinos, Broccoli and Roasted Red Pepper Pasta, Chicken Breasts with Mango Salsa and Creamy Banana Walnut Oatmeal.
Register at MealsMatter.org to add these and other recipes to your personalized family meal plan and shopping list.
