Tasty Meal Planning Tips:
- Don’t miss breakfast! Spread almond butter & honey onto whole wheat toast, with a small yogurt and banana – in a jiffy!
- Try a veggie burger for lunch, with lettuce/tomato/cheese. Add a pear or apple and a hot tea or coffee – quick & nourishing!
- Plan for bean & lean beef (or ground turkey breast) chili as a warm solution to dinner. Make a big batch for tasty leftovers, too. Serve with crusty bread and salad – smart!
Smart Grocery Shopping Tips:
- Buy nuts in-the-shell for fun snacks with a holiday nutcracker.
- Buy canned solid-pack pumpkin and add a scoop to pancake batter or morning oatmeal along with cinnamon and/or nutmeg.
- Buy seasonal, fresh oranges and keep them in a bowl on the kitchen counter for healthy snacking.
Simple & Nutritious Cooking Tips:
- Steam your fresh green beans and then season lightly with olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Make a homemade vegetable soup with colorful veggies such as garlic, red onion, celery, carrots, Bell peppers, cabbage, peas, corn and lima beans.
- Make salmon patties with economical and healthy canned salmon. It’s easy.
