With that said, you may be thinking why on earth would someone like me want to review a cookbook? Two reasons...nutritious meals and easy recipes. That's the claim on the cover of the "Goya My Plate Cookbook", so I figured why not give it a try? The cookbook is part of Michelle Obama's LetsMove initiative, launched in 2010. Since I have been trying to eat healthier, I thought this may be a good starting point.
The prep was so easy. All I had to do was mix everything in a bowl, fill a tortilla, and put it on a griddle. I think even my three and a half year old could handle that, if she were allowed to use the stove!
The quesadilla cooked pretty quickly and was really, really good. I was actually surprised that it was something that I actually made! My 17 month old even tried a few bites too and liked it. I think my only critique would be that I would have liked more cheese than the recipe called for, but it probably didn't call for more because it is a pretty healthy recipe.
Besides the Black Bean Quesadillas, there are some other recipes I wouldn't mind checking out. The light fruit smoothie and the avocado and grapefruit salad sound pretty tasty too. They also fall into the category of things I can handle! I think this cookbook is good for moms who don't have a lot of time to cook, but also want to eat healthy.
For your chance to win a copy of this cookbook, just "like" this post on the Mommy Rundown's Facebook page or if you're not on Facebook, leave a comment below. The contest ends March 21, 2013 at 5 p.m. Good Luck!
