Cooking with the Moms

Just because it's cold outside (especially here in New England where we live) doesn't mean vegetables are out of season. Cruise the supermarket produce section and you'll see an array of colorful winter veggies – everything from broccoli and Brussels sprouts to snow peas and squash. For today's show, we'll tempt your family's taste buds with two vegetable side dishes: Saucy Spaghetti Squash and Mashed Potatoes & Turnips. Read the recipes at http://www.mealmakeovermoms.com/

When our cookbook was released in 2004, we wanted to share our recipes and tips with fellow moms and dads, so we started a series of cooking demonstrations called Meal Makeover Mom Cooking Parties. We traveled the country and met amazing people along the way. Since we couldn't keep up with the travel, we created a do-it-yourself guide -- complete with a sample invitation, suggested recipes, and an FAQ -- on our website. The parties are perfect for mother's groups, PTAs, or a bunch of friends who want to get together to learn and laugh! Some of the recipes we suggest are Corny Salmon Cakes and B.L.T. in a Bowl.

On today's show, we'll share our best-kept secrets for giving recipes a healthy and delicious makeover.
