Menu Plan Monday ~ Feb 14th + giveaway!!
Update: Giveaway now closed.
Happy Monday everyone and Happy Valentine’s Day as well! In our house we have a family tradition of having heart shaped waffles on Valentine’s Day. My heart shaped waffle maker is on it’s last legs but I still drag it out for this special occasion 🙂 Aren’t they cute?! Ahhh!
This time though I’m going to try yet another new waffle recipe because I just can’t help myself! How does healthy Banana Brownie Waffles sound? Yum, I can hardly wait! I’ll let you know how they turn out next week. Also depending on my time I’d love to whip up a batch of these mini Berry Good Chocolate Cupcakes for dessert.
Both of these recipes come from the talented duo, Liz Weiss and Janice Newell Bissex, over at Meal Makeover Moms. They have a wonderful new cookbook out called No Whine With Dinner that I’m so super excited to tell you about.
Over the last couple of years I’ve tried a number of their recipes from their website and have loved every one including Teriyaki Salmon in Foil and Have-It-Your-Way Tacos. So I was thrilled when they sent me a copy of their new cookbook to try out. It includes 150 healthy, kid-tested recipes! They enlisted kids from all around the world to help them test each and every recipe. In fact my daughter and I even got in on the fun and provided them with our opinions on the Ginger Drizzle Cookies recipe (pg 181), which we loved by the way!
This awesome cookbook is full of easy to prepare recipes that are not only quick to put on the table for busy families on the go but healthy too! This is one cookbook I don’t hesitate to highly recommend! Check out their site, Meal Makeover Moms, for more information and recipes and to watch some cooking videos too.
Janice and Liz have also given me a copy of their book to giveaway here today as well! If you are interested please leave a comment on this post prior to Saturday, Feb 19th at 3:00 pm PST. Winner selected at random from comments received. This giveaway is now closed. The winner is: #154 Lori!!
So here’s what we’ll be eating this week:
Monday: Banana Brownie Waffles served with Strawberry Sauce and whipped cream
Tuesday: Slow Cooker Luau Chicken with Pineapple and Carrots (also from No Whine with Dinner)
Wednesday: Sweet ‘n’ Tangy Pot Roast (missed from last week)
Thursday: Leftover buffet
Friday: Pierogi Beef Skillet
Saturday: Spaghetti with Marinara Sauce
Simple Supper Sunday
WHAT’S ON YOUR MENU THIS WEEK?
Menu Plan Monday guidelines and banner selections are here.
This book looks great!
The cupcakes look so pretty. Over the years I’ve come to realize that the presentation of our meals is just about as important as the taste. When something looks appealing, even the youngest kids are willing to at last give it a try. Thank you for hosting this each week!
Oh! I would love to win this… I kind of have an addiction to cookbooks and recipes. 🙂
I love your heart waffles! It makes me want to start looking for one at a yard sale!
That book looks interesting too! I’m always looking for kid friendly recipes.
Toni
I saw these at Walmart yesterday– bet they will be on sale later this week (after Valentines).
Another great week! The cookbook looks great. I’ve seen some of their recipes before, but how exciting to have the book!
Happy Valentine’s Day! Have a great week Laura!

Oh this would be so nice to have…my 5 year old is getting pickier all the time it seems! He has a kids cookbook but it seems to use odd things I never have on hand so sadly we don’t use it all that often. This would be a great addition to our kitchen!

I would definitely buy another if I ever saw them again…our Walmart doesn’t carry them here 🙁 I got mine for a wedding present 16 years ago!
i just ordered one of the heart shaped waffle makers on ideeli.com and after a joining credit that they gave you for being a citibank member, i ended up only paying $5.85 for it! i looked for the same one online and the cheapest i saw it was at overstock.com for 15.99 plus 2.95 in shipping. here is the link if you are interested :

Love those heart shaped waffles and anxiously awaiting your take on the healthy banana chocolate waffles. I have a chocolate waffle recipe, but it’s not the most figure friendly, LOL.
That cookbook looks great. My daughter has become such a picky eater, so I’m always on the lookout for kid friendly, LOL.
Looks like my kind of book!
I remember my heart-shaped waffle maker. My kids loved those waffles, but it sadly died and was replaced by our new boring round waffle maker. I’d love to win the cookbook and use it for the kids’ cooking classes I teach in the summer. Hoping you have a better week.

I didn’t realize until I read your meal plan that the waffles are for dinner – what a great idea! That’s so much fun. That looks like a great cookbook. I’ve never heard of one testing recipes with kids around the world. That’s some serious research. Happy Valentine’s Day.
Sounds like an awesome cookbook! And I could sure do with less whining at the dinner table:)
What a cute idea for heart shaped waffles! The Meal Makeover Moms are great!

Thanks so much for the chance to win the cookbook! I’m always on the lookout for tried-and-true (especially kid-friendly) recipes!
I just wanted to say that that sounds like a book that is calling my name. I have the hardest time deciding what to cook because all three of my guys, two little ones, one big one, are all so picky. Trying to figure out what to cook wears me out to the point that I don’t even want to make out the grocery list and go to the grocery store afterwards, let alone cook. Really hoping I win the book!

I despise whining. Must have this book.

Recipes that are kid tested and approved should be good for a picky hubby too. I really need this book. thanks for the opportunity.
This looks like a great book. I have 3-year old twin boys who are going thru an extremely fussy stage. Hopefully I can try some new recipes that they will eat.
I hope I win this cookbook..it would be a God send : )
Bad luck finding good recipes lately.

Happy Menu Planning:-)
I would love to win this cookbook. My youngest daughter is going to turn into a chicken nugget if I do not come up with some new recipes and QUICK !!
Menu includes eating out tonight because it’s my birthday and Valentine’s Day; Tues-leftover potato salad (I made for church dinner on Sun but way too much food brought and we brought it home) and leftover BBQ chicken (from the dinner as well) with green beans; Wed-reheat bean and ham soup that was frozen after making a huge batch a couple weeks ago; Thurs-mini ravioli and meat sauce and veggies; Fri and Sat still in planning stages. Not sure about Sat. cuz I could be out of town visiting my sister for our birthday get to gether or in town because of a friend’s funeral. That sums it up. Sweater —-one more seam to sew up and buttons on, today!
I’d never heard of these ladies until now. What a great website. The book looks great!
I need this book!
Awesome looking book! My daughter would love this with her 6 kids!
Bernice
A lucky winner and more!
This cookbook looks great!!!

Yay! A possible post-valentines day gift to myself! Thanks for the opportunity!
Oooh…what a great looking cookbook. My toddler is becoming less adventurous in her eating these days…
Happy Valentine’s Day!
That sounds great…we’re still in beige food purgatory over here!
Looks great! I’d love to check it out!!
I am a true blue cookbook junkie. This looks fabulous! 🙂
I made heart-shaped pancakes this morning from the Cheapskate Cook’s page. When your waffle maker goes on the fritz, this is could easily take over. I tried to serve them with real cherries but the kid’s didn’t go for it…apparently maraschino cherries are the ONLY cherries that are acceptable. This is why I need the No Whine with Dinner cookbook…please?!?!?!
This would be great to add to my small collection!
I would love to get my hands on this cookbook. I’ll definitely check out their website, too!
I’m posting a comment for a chance at that great cookbook. I love their podcast, too! 🙂
Oh, I need so much help getting my kids to eat better!

Boy, I sure could use that cookbook! Thanks for the chance!
There’s never enough cookbooks! I’d love to win it, even though I don’t have any kids. I would cook for myself. lol.
I have two young boys and this would be such a HUGE help in my ability to get them to eat dinner!! Thanks for the giveaway!

This cookbook sounds like it would be on every mother’s wish list. Sounds wonderful!! 🙂

So much fun! It all looks and sounds great : )

The cookbook looks great… I would love to win it!
I would LOVE to get my hands on that cookbook. I am feeling so overwhelmed and just can’t get the hang of meal planning. I have 3 young children and we would use this to help us get a handle on our meals and taking care of my family!
Thanks so much for doing this!
I’m a big fan of the makeover moms and was lucky enough to meet Janice and Liz at BlogHer last year. I love that they had the recipes tested by kids – that’s the real seal of approval.
This looks awesome! My hubby is always yelling ar me for making supers our daughter turns her nose up to… So this would be great for ou house! Thanks for the give away

Look like great books!
I’ll be on the lookout. If it has pictures of everything, then I’ll buy!
Should be interesting. If its been kid-tested, maybe i can get my picky eater to eat something “tasty” and healthy! Thanks for the entry.
That cookbook looks so great. It would be great to have around with my baby growing up as well as my husband who is so picky.
Those pancakes are super cute! I made a modified version of this fruit pizza
http://www.melskitchencafe.com/2011/02/fruit-pizza.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+melskitchencafe/NvNP+(Mel's+Kitchen+Cafe)
Instead of a cream cheese icing (my husband doesn’t do cream cheese). I made a lighter husband friendly version by mixing up some dream whip and adding the strawberries on top.
Always need new ideas!!

This cookbook looks great!! ALWAYS needing new recipies… especially ones that are kid friendly! 🙂
I ALWAYS need help with cooking…..this cookbook looks like it could do me some good….:)

Happy Valentine’s Day!!! I would love to win this book!!

I love cookbooks! And I would ?LOVE ? to win this! It looks great!!!

I would LOVE to have that book–we have lots of whine with our dinners these days 🙁
Great for cookbook collections! Thanks!
I love collecting cookbooks, so I would love to try the recipes in this one! Thanks for all you do on your blog, I love it and your book!!
I love the meal makeover moms! I listen to their podcast every week and saw them live at the manic mommies escape back in 2007. I would love to win their new cookbook. We just had the Have It Your Way tacos for dinner tonight and my 4 & 2 year olds gobbled them up!
I would love to see that book! Thanks for the giveaway!
I love your heart shaped waffles! Those are so creative! I wish I had one, but I should be thankful for my waffle maker. I finally got my first one this Christmas! haha!
🙂
Have their first book and it is great! Would love to win the second one.
Thanks!
I always tell my husband I would rather have a cook than a house cleaner…this would be a step in the right direction!
In our last MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) meeting, several mommies and I were talking about how hard it is to “help” our kids choose the right kind of foods. We are planning to do an educational session in our group on this very topic. I am sure this book and its recipes would be put to great use!
I’m cooking for an easy going husband and a very picky 2 year old. This book looks fabulous!
My son has been pretty open to pretty much all foods so far, but I’m sure the picky phase will hit eventually. I would love a cookbook!
I LOVE cookbooks! This looks like a good one!
I love cookbooks!
Would love a new cookbook. Hope I win.
I have a child with sensory issues and trying new things is so hard ! I have been hearing about this book and would love to own it:)
the photos on the cover of the cookbook are making me hungry! 🙂
Any cookbook I can get that will help me cook food my kids will like, I can’t wait to try.
I’d love to win this cookbook! I’m always looking for recipe ideas that both my children will eat.
No Whine with Dinner – I’d treasure that book.
Today I made a batch of heart shaped sugar cookies most of which I took to the local nursing home and then gave small bags to some other friends.
Tomorrow will be salsa chicken and rice for 16 adults and about 10 children – Church board members and families. I have the table set with red cloths and white candles.
Wednesday I’ll be making lasagna for 48 and 4- cheese bread.
No, not every week is like this, but I do like to bake and entertain.
I’m quickly learning that my son is becoming a very picky eater. This would be perfect!
I am the mom and I am the one who is a picky eater. I would love to win this!
I would love if there was no whining at dinner!
Would LOVE to win…thanks for the chance!
Feeding a picky kid is TOUGH. I love trying out new recipes.
Ooh, ooh! A cookbook with kid recipes? Yes, please!
I love your heart shaped waffles. I would love to win that cookbook. We have a lot of whine with our dinners lately.
Blessings
Honey

Waffles and strawberries must be the Valentine’s day breakfast. We stuck with a very red day – the kids loved it. Thanks for providing information about this cookbook.
Would love to win. Thank you for your wonderful blog. You inspire me to organize and cook. I am still not at actually meal planning, but I have a list of meals that I can make… and I decide what to make on the day of. It works for me, for now. Thank you!
What a great cookbook, would love to win one! Always good to get new ideas to make meal times exciting!

Mmmm, those waffles look so good! Thanks for the chance to win this cookbook. My hubby will say I don’t need any more cookbooks.
Would LOVE to win that cookbook! Their slow-cooker Mile-high Spinach Lasagna recipe was in my local paper a few weeks ago. It would have been DELICIOUS if I hadn’t overcooked it and burned all the cheese around the sides into a solid black rock formation of nastiness. Will definitely try it again though. Great recipe, total user error. Thanks Laura!
That book looks fantastic!
I would love to try this cookbook on my picky eaters! I love your blog…I am an organizing junkie myself so it’s always fun seeing what you have been up to and getting new ideas. 🙂
Those quesadillas on the cover look mighty tasty!
Those waffles are too cute! I made heart shaped pizzas 🙂
This book sounds great! My son is a very picky eater, but I can get him to try new things, especially if I let him pick the recipe. I’ll have to check their site, too. Thanks for telling us about this!
This would be a great cookbook to have!!!
I am such a fan of the Meal Makeover Moms and have their newest cookbook checked out by my library… would love to have one to keep!

I would love this cookbook!
Please count me in on this giveaway.Thank you.
Wow, I could really use that cookbook for my picky kids. 🙂
I would love to win this. I am always trying to find healthy recipes for my picky husband and 2 year old daughter.
This would be wonderful. I’m always looking for new ways to incorporate healthy ingredients, without having my family rebel.
I love the meal makeover moms – I catch them when they are on Manic Mommies. The new cookbook sounds great!
Yummy, those heart shaped waffles look delicious! And the cookbook sounds perfect – it’s such a challenge to find good meals that will be enjoyed by a range of people while ensuring that they’re healthy…

Finding a recipe both my husband and daughter would like is always a challenge. Love to win this!
I’d love to have new ideas for dinner. Spring baseball is upon us and I want to be prepared with a game plan that avoids the quick takeout meal of desperation.

I LOVE Cookbooks- that one looks awesome!
I’m another person who loves cookbooks! This one looks great!
I love healthy, easy cooking!
I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to have this! Thanks.
I would LOVE to win this book. My daughter is such a picky eater, meal time is a nightmare. I wish meal time was not such a struggle.

The Strawberry Sauce sounds great, I have it bookmarked and can’t wait to try it. And I would love to win a cookbook. I am having a hard time finding meals that our entire family enjoys. I usually have 3 out of 4 people like a meal, but I really want to find foods that 4 out of 4 of us like!! Thanks for hosting the giveaway.
Oh my! Those are some tasty looking bittles! I’m definitely going to check out their website for the ideas on picky eaters – I’ve got three, and they’re all picky in different ways. Thus far, we’ve dealt with it by me making dinner for the grown-ups, and my husband makes a separate dinner for the kids. I really don’t like this, and while we’ve tried several times to bring it back to one meal for all, we haven’t been able to make it stick. Perhaps if I were as stubborn as my children… 🙂
Oh! I’d love to win a fab new cookbook! I desperately need some new & easy recipes! 😎
Don’t know who would love this cookbook more, me or my kiddos!!
This looks like an excellent book!
I would love to try this! I’m going to check out their website right now. We have picky eaters times four! Help!
I would love to use this book to help my 18 month old eat healthier!
Cookbook looks great-Anything to avoid whine so that I don’t need wine with dinner!
I always get a lot of whine with dinner, so I’d love the book!!!
I would love to try out this cookbook with my 4-year old, who loves to try and help me out at the kitchen counter!
Thanks,
Kendra

I would LOVE a copy of that book! I am always looking for new recipes to try that are kid-friendly!
So glad to hear about the cookbook and website! Always looking for meal ideas to please people ages 2-40. Thanks.
Omg, that looks heavenly. I’m visiting from Penelope’s Oasis and I have to tell you, the heart waffles are so cute! (but I’m a girl, hearts and cute shapes kind of girl)(which is obvious if you see all the butterflies on my site, lol)
I didn’t link up above since I didn’t post about this this week, but I am going to visit in the future, if for nothing else, for inspiration from everyone.
