I was sent a copy of The Truly Healthy Family Cookbook by Tina Ruggiero and after a brief page-through I knew it was a keeper. You can usually tell when a healthy dish will end up stale and flavorless just by reading the recipe, and all of these sound delicious (yes, I read recipes for fun, what's it to you?). Some of the meals on my to-do list: Risotto with Mushrooms, Butternut Squash and Kale, Mini Salmon Sliders and Turkey Meatloaf with Chipotle Glaze. Yes, please, all of that.
Right off the bat I made this Pesto, White Bean and Broccoli Dip because I'm trying to feed my daughter more iron. Beans and Broccoli are great sources of iron! Iron, iron, i-ron... that's a weird word. Anyway. This was simple to make, yielded a HUGE batch, and was great on pasta or crackers.
Thanks for the book, Tina! Recipe here.
