Mealtime Magic: The Pantry Makeover

If you're trying to shift the food your family eats away from overprocessed foods, guides like The Pantry Makeover can be very helpful. The book starts with a list of what shouldn't be in your pantry (such as artificial flavors and colors) and then has a huge section of ingredients that are flexible and enjoyable by the entire family, as well as being generally inexpensive and easy to prepare. It includes lots of tips and recipes to help you be able to use it.

The book is written by Tracee Yablon-Brenner, is a registered dietician and board-certified holistic health counselor, so her advice comes from experience and training. She's also the author of two National Parenting Publication Awards for her books on family and toddler nutrition. She's also launched a site, Real Food Moms, that focuses on nutrition, wellness, and relaxation techniques. Since it was created especially for busy moms and their families, the tips and ideas are realistic and practical - doable by just about any household. The website incorporates yoga, nutrition, and stress reduction, so it's a balanced approach to a healthy mind and body.

I found the site very helpful. It's suitable for anyone looking to live a more natural, healthy lifestyle, whether you're just starting to make changes or have already been living that way for some time. An example is her guide to what's in your food closet. The Pantry Makeover is an easy-to-read guide that discusses what shouldn't be in your pantry, and what should, along with tips and recipes to help you use the suggested ingredents.

Disclosure: I received a complimentary e-book, The Pantry Makeover, to facilitate this post.
