Brooks Balancing the menu is a favorite subject with fool lecturers and writ- ers, In fact the subject is so much in the limelight, that the homemaker who considers all that is said finds it difficult to cut a straight path + through the forest of hints, plans and suggestions for serving balanced meals. While there is no need for an elab- orate system, there is also no magic scheme of food selection. The near- est approach to magic lies in the statement that "good square meals make the best rounded diet." This simply means that in three meals a day, you will find satisfaction and ad- equate nutrition with very little spec- ial attention to balancing. These few details of menu balancing do require some thought in the beginning but with experience become automatic or second nature. Here are a few concrete sugges- tions to help you round -out your square meals: I. For adequate nutrition—supply essential minerals and regulat- ing foods by serving each day:: 1. At least one pint of whole. milk per person (part may be used on cereals or in cook- ing. 2. One egg per person (.nay be used in cooking or as a meat substitute). 3. One rats fruit or vegetable or canned tomatoes. 4. One leafy vegetable, fruit or bran cereal for "bulk". II. For satisfaction -- 1. 1. Consider the nutritional needs of your family as to age, ac- tivity, growth, the climate and,. season. 2. Cater to food habits, likes and dislikes of the group wherever practical but encourage a taste fora widely varied diet. 3. Serve pleasing meals that are "filling", with a. Sufficient energy foods — cereals and other starches, sweets and fats. la. A substantial meat dish for dinner and a lighter meat or substitute for sup- per or luncheon. c. Foods with contrast in flavor ,texture and calor, d. Desserts that fit the meal, and make a good last im- pression. I For interest and variety -- 1. Never repeat a menu without some change. 2. Pian carefully to avoid left- overs. When using left -overs, make them into something •dif- ferent from the original dish. Avoid over -cooking but be sure the fooii is thoroughly heated. Use extra care in sea- sonings and serving to .make left -overs appetizing. 3. Study the local market and take advantage of fresh fruits and vegetables. 4. Keep lists of fruits, vegetab- les, meats, salads, breads, des- • serts that are suitable for your menus. Go over these often for new food combitratioris. 5. Avoid in successive meals dif fereitt forms of the same meat, such as sausage for breakfast and pork chops for dinner orcreamed dried beef for luncheon and roast bees; for dinner. S. Avoid combinations of foods alike in flavor or composition such as cabbage and cauli- flower, potatoes and spaghetti, apple butter and apple pie.
