Can’t wait to see your January Challenge Soups! We all need some new soup recipes to stay nice n’ toasty during these cold, cold winter months…






I say goodbye to fad diets, bogus "fat-burning" pills, and processed, non-food food. And, I smile hello to a healthifying lifestyle full of fruits, veggies, and whole grains, sweaty workouts, the occasional "chocolate fix," sleep, family and friend time, and quality "me time" with a focus on health. I look forward to your comments and thoughts as the posts healthify on by!

congrats to the winners! all the recipes look FABULOUS and so pretty too!
All the dishes look wonderful! Congrats to the winners.
All of these look amazing! May have to try the quinoa recipe this week as it fits into our “welcoming kitchen” of gluten-free, allergy-free, and vegan recipes! Looking forward to following your blog and celebrating you attaining your MS RD! From one MSRD -> to a soon to be other! All the best!

Thank you! That means a lot!
I’m delighted that Meal Makeover Moms’ Kitchen was nominated for the Green Grapes Blog Nutrition Challenge. The “Challenge” is such a cool idea … and I love the soup and the quinoa recipes too.
Ah I forgot to enter this!! However, I will be trying these recipes. Orange Truffle’s Sweet Potato Quinoa Salad sounds/looks amazing!
There’s always next time
This is such a great idea! Congrats to the winners
I’m really hoping to make some fantastic soups this season, now that I have a Magic BUllet! I plan on pureeing a bunch of fun vegetables and making soup out of them…with lots of fun spices and other fun additions! I really love soup, a lot, but Nick hates it. It’s sort of a shame because he doesn’t like to indulge in my delicious creations! Boo for him, more for me
Happy New Year to you!
nice to “meet” you!! i love your blog already, looking forward to reading more. sports basement is amazing, and i love the fact that it’s in an old grocery store (notice they left the signs labeling each department up?) so cool that you live in boston now, my dad and his whole family is from there!
Congrats to the winners! All of these recipes look like winners in my book! Thanks for the recipes, bloggies!
