Most social events are centered around food and many of us stress over what should we eat or serve. Cooking should be fun and nutritious. I would like to help make eating an enjoyable and healthy experience for the entire family on a budget. Sometimes small changes can lead to big rewards. I hope to pass on diet tips, nutrition information made easy to understand, quick and easy recipes, and a postive attitude. Life is a journey, enjoy it!
Peanut butter and jelly. Try natural peanut butter, it’s healthier.
Canned pop-top black bean dip or hummus with crackers
Individual cans of tuna
Fruit!
Protein bars (I like Titan Bars)
Low-fat or fat-free yogurt
Whole grain cereal (great for a pre-practice snack later in the day)
Trail mix (not the kind with tons of sugary candy in it!)
Pita chips
Raw veggies with hummus or salsa
Salads (skip the fried wontons or any fried topping), try a variety of greens, shredded carrots, chopped bell peppers, tomatoes etc. The more colors the better.
Almost any kind of sandwich on 100% whole wheat bread or whole grain bread. Turkey breast, chicken breast and pork are lower in fat and healthy versions.
