Recipes

WIC Families

Sometimes one does not cash all of the food instruments due to having too much WIC foods on hand or because of not eating specific foods such as beans.
Recipes and ideas are being provided to help with the use of WIC foods and the intake of the nutrients from those foods.

The following links provide handouts from WIC Works, adapted by the Oklahoma State Department of Health WIC Service and are available in English and Spanish.

The Oklahoma State Department of Health WIC Service adapted these materials in 1997. These "WIC Menu Ideas" handouts are shaped in the form of the respective WIC foods and feature two sections: Ways to use the respective WIC food and recipes using the respective WIC food. The materials include the following foods: Beans (Frijoles), Cereal with Iron (Cereal con Hierro), Cheese (Queso), Eggs (Huevos), Juices (Jugos), Milk (Leche), Peanut Butter (Crema de Cacahuate).
NOTE: The pamphlets are available in two file formats, the "graphic" format and the "text" format (where the second page is scanned in as text rather than graphic).
