The internet is crowded with delicious recipes and meal ideas, but one new mom is carving out a niche in the online food world that focuses on something many families need: meal ideas that are healthy, easy and 100% WIC-approved.<\/p>

Marissa “Sunni” Rudd, a mixed media artist and new mom from New York, has racked up nearly 50,000 followers on TikTok by sharing WIC-friendly recipes<\/a>, as well as valuable information about how to use and apply for benefits from WIC<\/a> (the Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children). Her meal ideas cover everything from protein shakes and snacks to easy lunches and dinners.<\/p>

WIC<\/a>, which stands for the Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, provides food assistance to eligible lower-income people who are pregnant, postpartum or have children up to age 5; however, it can only be used to purchase certain items. States aren’t required to authorize all types of food for coverage under WIC<\/a>, and some have limitations on commonly used ingredients. For example, in Rudd’s home state of New York<\/a>, shredded cheese, certain kinds of milk, nuts, herbs, spices and salad dressings are all off-limits. <\/p>

Rudd’s recipes are designed to work within these limitations, while still giving people access to meals that are delicious, comforting, easy to make and that satisfy their cravings.<\/p>
