Why Add Vegetables to Smoothies? We all know vegetables are so good for us and are an excellent source of many vitamins, minerals, and fiber. However, many of us find ourselves struggling to meet the daily recommended intake of vegetables (and fruits)! And if you have a toddler, who’s going through so many developmental changes, or a picky eater, getting them to eat their vegetables can be quite the Herculean task....

Banana Chocolate Chunk Muffins There’s a story behind how these chocolate chip banana muffins were born. It all started with a little chat I had with my six-year-old son. He came home one day from school, and I excitedly offer him his favorite chocolate treat. You know, the kind of stuff kids usually jump for joy over. But to my surprise, he turns it down, saying that his friend told him that chocolate makes you…”fat....

There are few things better than fresh summer fruit. On a recent visit, my dad showed up with a big box of tree-ripened bing cherries. They’re my favorite. After living off of nothing but cherries for a few days, I made my once a year cherry pie. With a still half-full box I knew that this sauce was next on the list of cherry recipes I had to make....

Also, try this spicy Mexican rice dish! There’s a lot of talk about the difference between jambalaya, gumbo, and paella. And what’s the difference between Creole and Cajun jambalaya? Let’s set the record straight. Jambalaya is a one-pot meal made up of meat, vegetables, and rice. It differs from gumbo which has a more stew-like consistency. And it’s different than paella in that it can have a thicker tomato-based sauce and a spicier profile....

The creative mix of flavors is always a hit, even with eaters who usually avoid carrots....

Strawberry Yogurt My son used to love plain yogurt, but now that he’s 5 years old he constantly asks for more “fun” yogurt. What he’s really asking for is sweet-flavored yogurt. And while there are endless blended yogurt options at the grocery store, they contain high amounts of added sugars. That’s why I like to purchase plain yogurt and sweeten it myself. It requires minimal effort to make this strawberry yogurt without any added sugar, and your kids will love it!...

For another easy and delicious Mediterranean meal, try our Greek chicken skillet with tomatoes, olives, and feta cheese.

Being Korean, I so want to expose my baby to our cuisine from early on. However, there’s this mammoth of a challenge – making the dishes low-sodium. Honestly, I didn’t realize just how much sodium there is in our go-to condiments, like soy sauce, fermented soybean paste, fish sauce, chili paste, etc. Here’s why you want to be mindful of your baby’s sodium intake and added sugar. It’s just something I never paid attention to…until I became a mom....

Greek yogurt cream cheese frosting I’ve never been a fan of traditional cream cheese frosting that’s made with a ton of butter and powdered sugar. I just find it way too rich and sweet.

It’s made with Greek yogurt and a little bit of maple syrup that together with cream cheese produce the perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess....
