Recipe of the Month: August 2017

One of the things we often hear from our members is that they know or want to know how to cook healthy and tasty food. Many VillaMoms will also appreciate quickly prepared food. Here we are, opening our food blog for members. The first recipe is from VillaSport The Woodlands’ member and a mother of 4 children who has her own food blog – Nurzhamal Karymsakova.  “I wanted to create a page full of simple but delicious, easy and beautiful food choices that anyone can make no matter what cooking level you are at. One of my favorite veggie salads takes literally 5 minutes to do and is actually a recommendation from a good friend of mine – an avocado salad.”
