What is WIC?

WIC stands for Women, Infants, Children. It is a government nutrition program that babies, children, and pregnant or breastfeeding women may qualify for based on income. Through WIC, participants have available to them a wide variety of nutritious foods completely free!

Why Blog?

If you are anything like me, WIC foods just left me confused and bored. Seven hundred peanut butter sandwiches later, I decided to put my noggin to work to try and come up with a solution for the four pounds of corn tortillas laying to waste in my refrigerator. I figured I can't be the only one with this problem, so I decided to blog about it! Most of these recipes will include SOME non-WIC foods, but anything that you can typically get for free with WIC will have an asterisk (*) by it. If anyone has any ideas they would like me to post, please send them to me via the comment form on the individual blog entry pages!

Remember...

Legally, you can only EAT your WIC foods or THROW THEM AWAY. Legally, you cannot DONATE them to a local shelter or pregnancy care clinic, SHARE them with a friend, or MAKE ART projects out of them....
