Top 10 Healthy Recipes My Kids Love from 2012

December 29, 2012

As we get ready to say goodbye to 2012, I have been reflecting on all the wonderful food that graced our table week after week -- the recipes my family asked for time and again and which will most certainly be making more appearances in the New Year.

Food nourishes not only our bellies, but our souls. Like traditions or laughter, it is something that forever binds families together. It provides us with indelible memories and makes us nostalgic as we get older. Here are just a few of the recipes that have become favorites in my home. Hopefully they will in yours as well.

Roast Chicken with Caramelized Lemons, Cherry Tomatoes, and Olives

Cinnamon Roast Butternut Squash 

Lightened up Spaghetti Carbonara

Veggie Heavy Pizza Sauce 

Better Than Ice Cream - Greek Yogurt with Cinnamon and Honey

Southern Pork Tenderloin

Green Ice Pops

Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry

Chicken Nuggets 

No Work Chicken

Carrot Ginger Sauce

Strawberry Milk

Green Veggie Pancakes

And some of my favorites from other bloggers!

Easy Chicken Shwarma from Aida Mollenkamp

Quinoa Fruit Salad from Two Peas and Their Pod

Lemongrass Shrimp and Miso Udon Soup from Turntable Kitchen

Super Spinach Salad from Shutterbean

Light and Healthy Chicken Nachos (gluten free!) from With Style and Grace

    My 4 year old has always been at the bottom of the charts for weight. He had a huge growth spurt this year without gaining a commensurate amount of weight causing his BMI to dip off the charts; for the first time our pediatrician is expressing real concern. My husband and I both work full time and find — as most couples do — that managing careers and two little ones is very difficult. I know that our eating habits and mealtime routines need to change and am working on that. Just bought your cookbook and am excited to try it out. But I was hoping you might have some tips/recipes for parents like me with an underweight child. Any help would be most appreciated!
