Yodeling Mamas

Do you ever think, “What am I going to make for dinner today?” Ever look in the refrigerator and draw a blank? As a working mom, I usually find that I am short on time to think of quick and easy, but nutritious and delicious things to make for the family.

My sister-in-law started a blog almost a year ago to cater to this very need that moms face on a daily basis. It is called a Week of Menus. The site is full of her favorite recipes that are simple to make. Trust me when I tell you that the food is delicious, as I have tasted almost everything on the blog. (This is a perk of having her as my sister-in-law and within a 30-minute drive from home.) I even have an item named after me (well almost). See if you can find it!

She is passionate about encouraging healthy eating habits in kids, and extending that habit into their school classrooms, so she has a lot of ideas for classroom celebration snacks instead of cakes and sugary, nutritionally void foods. She’s written about other ideas to use in the classroom that are equally exciting instead, like fruit mosaics, fruit kabobs, muffins, veggie sticks and dip.
