2- Plan Ahead
- Keep meals simple! You can make healthy meals
fast. - Cook when you have more time maybe on weekends.
Make soups, stews, or casseroles to freeze for
the next week. - Do some tasks the day before. Wash and cut
vegetables or make fruit salad. Your child can
help. Cook noodles for pasta salad. Cook lean
ground beef or turkey for tacos. Refrigerate all
food items until used. - Make non-cook meals and snacks
- salads with canned tuna, chicken or beans
- cold sandwiches
- raw vegetables and low-fat yogurt
- fruit
- Cook for today and later. You can make enough
meat sauce for spaghetti today and for topping a
baked potato tomorrow.

- Directions
- Pierce potatoes all over with a fork. Place in
the microwave and cook on medium, turning once or
twice, until the potatoes are soft, about 20
minutes. (or in your oven preheated to 400
degrees for 40-60 minutes depending on the size
of the potato). - Meanwhile, brown meat in a large skillet over
medium-high heat, stirring often, about 3
minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Increase heat
to high, add broccoli and water to the pan,
cover, and cook until tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
Drain the broccoli add to the meat. - Carefully cut off the top third of the cooked
potatoes reserve the tops for another use. Scoop
out the insides into a medium bowl. Place the
potato shells in a small baking dish. Add ½ cup
Cheddar , sour cream, salt and pepper to the
potato inside and mash with a fork or potato
masher. Add green onions and the potato mixture
to the broccoli and meat stir to combine. - Evenly divide the potato mixture among the potato
shells and top with the remaining ½ cup cheese.
Microwave on High until filling is hot and the
cheese is melted, 2 to 4 minutes. (or bake at 400
degrees for 10 minutes).

helps save money. - Improves nutritional value of meals. When you
plan meals, you are more likely to serve
foods that are nutritious. - Reduces stress by eliminating the question,
what should I cook for dinner.
