Announcing the Mommy Makeover Winner!

We thought it’d be fun to have a special edition of the Monday Menu this week by having our Mommy Makeover Contest winner share one of her favorite recipes that she discovered over the last three months of her healthy, productive lifestyle change.

The sound of flip-flops tapping the street and laughter echoed as we went. Within seconds, the exotic aromas consumed us—my favorite was always the Singapore fried rice wrapped in banana leaves. We’d leave the stands and walk to the park nearby where we rolled out our blankets to sit under the stars and the twinkling string lights, listening to music and chatter until everything faded into the night.

Today on The Monday Menu, check out the quinoa version of one of my world favorites.
