Recipes to cook, eat and repeat
WIC Meals of the Month (MOM) is an opportunity for the WIC community to share recipes of their own, or from their favorite resources. This WIC MOM features recipes to help participants vary their protein routines. Protein is an important nutrient for growth and development, and depending on the source, protein foods provide additional nutrients, like iron, vitamin B12, choline, fiber and other vitamins and minerals.
Help your participants harness the power of various protein foods and make the most of the their food packages with recipes from contributors from Maryland and West Virginia (as well as your very own WIC Works team).
