Introduction

We have organized this WIC recipe book to help you get off to a great start using
WIC foods that may be sitting unused on the shelf. WIC provides nutritious foods to
help you and your family improve your health. We hope our recipe book added to your
own recipe ideas will provide more variety in your meals and treats.
Our effort was to collect recipes that use baby cereal and baby foods for the
toddler and the whole family. If you do not have baby foods, you can still use the
recipes by using flour instead of baby cereal, and fruit or vegetable purees (made in the
blender with cooked fruit or veggies) instead of baby food.
You will also find several tasty bean, juice, milk, peanut butter, canned fish recipes
here to help you use what you already have in your kitchen, along with a few other
ingredients.
Your health is important.
That is why we included
information that we hope you
find helpful to design balanced
meals. Each recipe page was
designed to show how single
servings compare to Choose
MyPlate recommendations. In
addition to this feature, we
analyzed a serving of each recipe
for calorie, carbohydrate, protein,
fat, iron, vitamins A & C, and folic
acid content. This nutrient information is found at the back of the recipe book according
to recipe. Please note: the Choose MyPlate and nutrient information is for a single
serving.
Deciding whats for dinner? can be just a little easier now. We hope you will
enjoy the recipes we included. Some of them were gathered from our own kitchens, and
we cooked and ate many of them ourselves before including them here. We were
delighted and hope you will be too. Cook, serve, enjoy!

Never sell, trade, or give away WIC foods; this is considered fraud. It is not
required to purchase all items on your checks. Speak to the WIC staff if you do not
use or need all the foods on your checks. If you suspect any fraud, please report it
to your local WIC clinic.
