This Mom Went Viral For Her WIC-Approved Recipes and I Can Totally See Why

We know we can find all kinds of recipes on TikTok. From ones that are too complicated to even attempt to ones that are cool hacks to make cooking a bit easier.

But, Sunni Rudd came up with a genius idea, that is so practical!!

She does WIC approved recipes on TikTok — something that I would have never thought of. Her recipes have the potential to help so many people!

If you don’t know what WIC is, it is a supplemental nutrition program for expectant mothers or for people with children up to the age of 5.

It’s kind of like SNAP (which used to be known as “food stamps”), but instead of loading monthly money on a card to use on a variety of things at the grocery store, WIC can only be used on certain approved food items.

WIC items can sometimes be pretty random, and it can definitely be difficult to put a meal together with WIC products. Usually you can get cheese, baby food, milk, eggs, some breads, peanut butter — basic essentials.

Many of the items you would usually find to embellish and complete recipes in cookbooks are off limits with WIC.

On WIC, you have all of these lists of approved items that you can buy. And not all of the stores in New York stock those items, or make them easily accessible. So then I started creating recipes and started creating cheat sheets on how to find those items, and what to make with those items. Like, when you’re down to your last dollar and you only have your WIC card, what are you gonna make?
