Yummy Yoga: Broccomole From Joy Bauer’s Kids Cookbook! - Chicago Moms Network

We love this veggie-filled dip from celebrity nutritionist Joy Bauer’s Yummy Yoga book, for the big game, as a quick snack or a fiber-rich addition to Taco Night. This unique book matches recipes kids can make (and eat!) and whimsical illustrations of produce doing yoga poses, making it a great activity while we’re spending more time at home.
