If we could click our heels and be in Spain or Italy right now, we’d be the happiest dietitians in the world.  That’s because the foods of the Mediterranean — olive oil, nuts, legumes, seafood, vegetables, whole grains — are some of the healthiest and most delicious on the planet.  Recently, we attended a Mediterranean diet conference sponsored by Boston-based group called Oldways.  At the meeting, we hobnobbed with scientists, chefs and fellow health professionals and sampled everything from artisinal olive oils to French cheeses. 

For this week’s Cooking with the Moms podcast, we share two of our favorite Mediterranean-inspired recipes:  Potato Ole Omelet and Walnut Cannellini Wraps.  We promise your kids will like the recipes as much as the adults do!  Tune in and let us know what you think of the show, and feel free to share your family’s favorite Mediterranean recipes right here on our blog.

It’s not too late to enter our latest Nalgene water bottle giveaway.  Five lucky winners will each receive four reusable, eco friendly, BPA-free bottles.  We announced the giveaway in our November newsletter, asking readers to forward it to a friend in order to toss their name into the giveaway hat.  If you have not entered yet, simply post a comment right here on our blog and tell us what you are doing to be “green. ”  Whether it’s recycling, walking to work or school, or shutting off your car engine while waiting to pick up the kids, we’d love to hear from you.  Winners will be picked randomly next week!
