Mom's Room: Food

Whether you’re an expert chef or just beginning to dabble in the food arts, we’ve got lots of recipes to tempt the taste buds of your family and friends. Lots of moms these days feel they just don’t have the time to devote to cooking a meal. But cooking at home is more economical and healthier. Gathering the family together to a meal also means better family communication—this benefit is really invaluable!

We’ve taken into account moms who don’t have a lot of time and moms who are doubtful of their cooking prowess. Many of our recipes can be made quickly; we also have crock pot recipes, which means you can throw the ingredients in the crock pot and let them cook overnight or during the day without supervision. What could be easier? Or try our pork chops recipe that has the interesting twist of Granny Smith apples added to it. For a sweet treat after dinner, try our Oatmeal Cookie recipe.

If you've enjoyed one too many cookies, you may be considering going on a diet. Get the skinny on the South Beach Diet, the Atkins Diet as well as Dr. Phil's Shape Up Diet and decide for yourself which of these weight loss plans is right for you.
