Thank you so much for coming into bemomalicious.com. Each week I will blog about the food, events, products and women that inspire me and the women I work so closely with every day. This week, I’m inspired by our new site—a place to learn weekly kitchen and cooking tips, recipes, dinner you can make TONIGHT that is easy and healthy, and a place to connect with me and other families about the issues you most care about. As more and more of us expand our communities on line and as we share and learn about our health through on line resources, I hope you will see bemomalicious.com as a central place to visit each week. Please let me know what is on your mind and what you would like to see more of—or just ask questions about cooking, groceries, the pantry, food storage and prep and I’ll help you through it. I know it can be overwhelming, but this is what I’m here for. Looking forward to connecting, inspiring and helping each of you find and retain your momalicious spark!

"There is something about the age-old tradition of gathering around the table to share a meal that is good for body, mind, and soul. You can easily prepare great tasting food at home and spark deeper family connection at mealtime. This tasty, easy, and healthy approach is accessible to the novice and inspiring to the culinary guru. Reinvent a healthier you in the simple art of momalicious cooking."
Domenica offers some creative tips on how to use grapes in this week's blog on WebMD.com
"I love to use unusual foods that have great nutritional value. That’s where these super grains — millet, quinoa and amaranth — come in. Not only are they versatile to cook with, but they each pack different nutritional benefits, and all three are gluten-free.
Millet is rich in B vitamins, especially niacin, B6, folic acid, iron, calcium, potassium, zinc and magnesium. It has been part of the Asian diet for over 10,000 years. We may recognize millet in the United States most readily as the main ingredient in bird food."
There is nothing that quite makes me so sad and angry at the same time as watching the problems with childhood obesity in this country continue to escalate. Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution has done a brilliant job at further exposing this rising epidemic. It can feel daunting.
I have raised my daughter Chiara to eat foods that will nourish her and give her sustained energy. She has a chef for a mom and loves all sorts of foods from Brussels sprouts to kale to radishes to duck, Indian, Vietnamese, Japanese, Italian…. she’ll eat them all. With that being said, put some Zebra cakes or Oreos on the table and all good eating habits are out the door. I am one to believe in balance.
