From the Radio Show

First I had a blast being the host on WGSO 990 am talk radio. During my segment on childhood obesity - I received a call asking for easy recipes for kids and parents for cooking together.
I am going to give you some of my kids favorites.

Shelly's Easy Mashed potatoes

1 frozen box of Spinach or broccoli- (stick in the microwave and cook- then drain off extra liquid)
milk
low fat cheese 1/2 cup
potatoes
You can use baking potatoes or do what I did and use instant- Follow the recipe on the box for 6 servings. and use milk in the mix.
When the potatoes are cooked add in the cooked spinach or broccoli
Mix in the cheese and Use 1/2 cup save a drop for the top of mixture

When all is mixed together bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes or until the top is golden

First serve some cut up veggies then a single serving size of the potatoes.


Becky's Chicken

Chicken breast cut in bite size pieces
bread crumbs
Italian dressing low fat or egg whites work just as well

place chicken in dressing or egg whites and then in the breadcrumbs

place on baking sheet and bake 350 for 20-25 minutes

Serve with salad and or veggies

This is a starting point
I will be happy to continue to add in more recipes
