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

Lauri @ A Day Spent says
This book looks great!
Rita says
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!

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 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.

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.

This book sounds sooo awesome! I have four kids from 16-5 yrs. So it is always tricky finding something that we all like! FYI, you inspired me to try menu planning…but instead of once a week…I do it for the whole month! I love it. Even if I don’t stick to it hard, I know that I don’t have to go back out!!

I always tell my husband I would rather have a cook than a house cleaner…this would be a step in the right direction!
Crystal says
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!

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.

Marilyn Tucker says
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.
The Bearded Iris says
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!
Mattie says
That book looks fantastic!

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.
Brandi says
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… 🙂
Trish says
Oh! I’d love to win a fab new cookbook! I desperately need some new & easy recipes! 😎

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)
