Getting dinner on the table night after night can be a challenge. So its no surprise that busy moms often rely on fast food, takeout, and convenience meals like macaroni & cheese, chicken nuggets, and fries. The kids love it but the drawback is that little twinge of guilt moms feel every time they feed their family another not-so-healthy meal. At the end of the day, many children end up with a poor diet high in sugar, saturated fat, and calories a major factor in the rising rates of obesity.
Finally, here are realistic guidelines designed to give families a healthy meal makeover.
The Moms lay out a 5-Step Meal Makeover Plan, explaining how to market good nutrition to kids, establish food rules, and make life easier in the kitchen.
In The Best of the Bunch chapter they reveal which brands of kid convenience foodshot dogs, frozen pizza, and moreare the best tasting and most nutritious ones out there.
The Moms show how to stock a healthy pantry and whip up delicious anytime meals using pantry staples.
They even serve up 120 reworked recipes for family favorites such as Fast-as-Boxed Macaroni & Cheese, Squishy Squash Lasagna, Cheesy Broccoli Soup, Sweet Potato Fries, and Chocolate Pudding with Toppers.

HERES WHAT BUSY MOMS LOVE ABOUT
The Moms Guide to Meal Makeovers:
Janice and Liz are able to simplify all the mixed messages from the media and translate them into simple, healthy, and creative recipes. I collect many cookbooks, but this one Ill enjoy giving to my friends and know that it will be used over and over again. Ill enjoy using it with my daughters, too, as they are now learning to cook themselves!
Maureen P., mother of two
I have been struggling for years to provide good nutrition to picky and opinon-ated eaters; the strategies Liz and Janice offer are inspiring, totally realistic, and doable. I love their positive suggestions for how to approach this; the concept of taking my kids favorite C meals and reengineering them slightly to transform them to nutritional but enjoyable B+ is empowering. For years I have fallen into the trap of telling my kids why they have to eat certain foodsit is no surprise that they do not want to eat them. With the Makeover Moms strategies, I believe I can convince my pickiest eater that vegetables actually are delicious and fun to eat!
Robin L., mother of two
I seem to have found something for everyone!! One of the greatest things about this cookbook is that the recipes contain ingredients that I would normally have on my shelf. Far too often when I try new recipes I have to buy ingredients that I use once and that sit on my shelf until the next time that I make that same dishif there is a next time! If I already have the ingredients, I am more apt to try new recipes. So I know that I will be trying many more of the recipes from your cookbook!
Cheryl H., mother of three
As a mother of four children ranging in ages from three to eleven, life sometimes gets in the way of good nutrition. Because of that I especially liked the Moms Best of the Bunch feature. Many times I have found myself staring at the grocery shelves full of hot dogs trying to find just one that has SOME nutritional value. The Best of the Bunch suggestions will be a great resource to help me keep some quick dinner options on hand without completely abandoning my nutritional standards.
Sue C, mother of four
Having three teenage children with very busy schedules, this book has been a tremendous help already. Not only are the meals healthy and easy to prepare, but my children enjoy cooking them as well. My oldest daughter leaves for college next year, and Im sure shell take many of these recipes with her.
Lori H., mother of three
I felt like the world was working against me when it came to keeping my family healthy. Between questionable school lunches, so many sugary celebrations for kids, and supermarket aisle upon aisle of confusing, even misleading food labels, I was losing the battle. Moms Guide to Meal Makeovers was a breakthrough book for me. Finally, the nutrition information I needed with realistic strategies and recipes to fit it into my familys way of life. Phew!
Liz and Janice have done a tremendous amount of work sifting through all there is to know about nutrition, studying product labels and testing recipes to bring us what we moms need to know about feeding our families and no more! With name-brand products to buy and easy recipes to make, I feel confident that I can provide my family good nutrition without complaints! Im not a dietician and I need someone to just plain tell me how much is good and bad!
Beth R., mother of two
As the mother of two boys always on the go with sports, scouts, etc., I am always looking for quick nutritious meals that I can feel good about. Janice and Liz have done it with creative, easy-to-make meals that use foods I typically have in my kitchen. I have selected many new recipes to try on my family.

I ts one thing to say you want to write a book but its another thing altogether to actually sit down 1 and do it. There were many people who contributed to the successful completion of this book. First, we would like to thank our literary agent, Jenny Bent, for making The Moms Guide to Meal Makeovers a reality. Her creative input, honesty, and wonderful sense of humor helped guide us through the long and often challenging process. Jenny, youre the best!
Writing a book with 120 recipes required a lot of time in the kitchen, mountains of dirty dishes (which Janices husband, Don, usually washed), and friends and family willing to taste and test them. Those who had no choice in the matter included our husbands, Don Bissex and Tim Carruthers, and our children, Carolyn Bissex, Leah Bissex, Josh Carruthers, and Simon Carruthers. You were the best guinea pigs we could have ever asked for. Thanks for tasting our recipes, both the fabulous ones and the flops, and offering your feedback. We are also grateful for your patience during the many hours that it took to research and write this book.
It would be impossible to thank everyone by name who offered ideas, recipes, a cup of flour (whole wheat, of course), and encouragement throughout this long process, but please know that we appreciate your support. We would be remiss without acknowledging certain groups and individuals including Diane Newell, Pat Donovan, and Katherine Musgrave for reviewing and critiquing sections of our manuscript, and Lolly Tharp for assisting with some of our recipe development. Many thanks to photographer Joe Turner, who did a great job with the photo on the back cover, and to Grace Andrews and Joe Nardone for offering their kitchen as a beautiful backdrop. We also appreciate the offbeat humor and terrific work of Rich Brooks and his team at flyte new media on the development of our website, www.mealmakeovermoms.com.
Our sincere thanks go to the hardworking staff at Broadway Books, especially our editor, Patricia Medved, and her assistant, Beth Datlowe; publicist, Heather Maguire; director of publicity, Suzanne Herz; marketing manager, Julia Coblentz; and designer, Elizabeth Rendfleisch. We would also like to extend our utmost appreciation to Laura Coyle for her whimsical illustrations and cover design.
Janice would personally like to thank her friends and recipe testers at the Melrose Unitarian Universalist Church, especially Catherine Cezeaux and Maryellen Fitzgibbon. She is also indebted to her neighbor and good friend, Mary Hayward, for helping out whenever needed. Without the support and assistance of her parents, Dave and Carol Newell, Janice could never have embarked on such a huge project. She thanks them from the bottom of her heart. Janice also acknowledges the valuable contributions that her siblings Jeff, Lori, Denise, and Diane have made (especially the product research and recipe testing on the West Coast). Last, but not least, Janice thanks her husband, Don, for always going above and beyond and supporting everything she does.
