Food One of the constant challenges of being a parent is coming up with ideas for healthy and simple meals and snacks. Having a repertoire of easily prepared meals and the ingredients to actually carry out the recipe would really ease the drudgery of cooking. So what is a parent TO DO?
Start by reviewing the Family Meal list and see which healthy and easy recipe would appeal to your group. These recipes have been selected for their tastiness and their fast and easy preparations.
When you need to bring a meal to a friend or for a potluck dinner, check out the easily Portable Meal list.
Post the Healthy Snack List and the Breakfast Idea List in a handy spot for easy reference for those moments when you are just too tired to come up with an idea. |

A Special Tip Remember growing up with the TV commercial singing “Wednesday is Prince Spaghetti Day”? Many of our ancestors used to have chicken on Sunday, Red Beans and Rice on Monday, Spaghetti on Wednesday, and fish on Friday. One reason for this is that is makes meal planning much easier if you have a set meal choice to work from! Set up a schedule for each day of the week and at least you’ll have a starting point. For instance, Monday - chicken, Tuesday – beef, Wednesday – pasta, Thursday – fish, Friday – pizza. Then just choose a different recipe variation on the theme, depending on what you have in the house and what you are in the mood for! Use the Weekly Grocery List to help you develop a plan.
