Glorious One-Pot Meals

The secret to healthy, delicious, and low-fat meals in under an hour is a good dutch oven according to Elizabeth at Glorious One-Pot Meals. Each recipe in Elizabeth's cookbook highlights complete and balanced meals including protein, starch, and vegetables. Plus, her cooking method creates meals that are nutritious, flavorful, and never soggy. These simple recipes are a working mom's dream.

Elizabeth was nice enough to contribute recipe cards for our gift packs. Moms receiving the cards will enjoy California Chicken - a meal of couscous, chicken, avocados, bell peppers, olives, and onions. Yum!
