These include: - Grain Products: whole grain bread, cereal, pitas and flour tortillas; pasta and rice. - Vegetables and Fruit: fresh vegetables and fruit in season as well as a variety of canned and frozen vegetables and juices. - Milk Products: milk, yogurt and cheese. - Meat & Alternatives: meat, fish, poultry; eggs; canned fish; canned beans and lentils; nuts and seeds; tofu and soy products, and peanut butter. - Other foods: butter, soft margarine, vegetable oil (canola, safflower, sunflower, corn, olive); sugar, honey, syrup; mustard, ketchup, salsa, vinegar, soya sauce, and spices. • Plan ahead - Choose three or four main dinner meals to have during the week and make a list of items needed. Be sure to include something from each of the four food groups in Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating. Buy all the ingredients you need ahead of time to avoid unnecessary trips to the store. Post the menu plan on the fridge so everyone knows what's for dinner. Leave out simple instructions or the recipe so that whoever gets home first can start the preparation or cooking. • Make only one meal - No one has time to be a short order cook for different family members at different times. Avoid cooking one meal for each person - no matter what time they get home. Store leftovers safely in the refrigerator for latecomers to heat up when they get home. • Share the tasks - Younger children can set the table, older kids can help with food preparation and everyone can help with the cleanup. Assign jobs to share the load and so everyone knows what is expected of them. - Make life interesting - Try a new recipe or new food every once in a while - ask family members to find and suggest recipes that they would like to try. Remember variety is the spice of life! THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2004. PAGE 15.
