After the holiday rush, the idea of more shopping, even grocery shopping, might be too much for some families. Between Christmas and New Years, take advantage of healthy food choices you probably already have in your pantry, freezer or refrigerator. You’ll save yourself a trip to the store and give your food budget a break, too. Don’t forget the free Pantry Planner tool on MealsMatter.org to start stocking back up on healthy staples once this week is over.
Clean out those cupboards with a festive family breakfast of Walnut Stuffed French Toast, Fruit Cocktail Salad and Shapely Shakers. Other budget-friendly meals to make with staple pantry ingredients include Tuna Noodle Casserole, South of the Border Chowder, Baked Chicken and Ziti and Pasta and Bean Skillet.
Register free at MealsMatter.org to add these and other recipes to your meal plan and shopping list. Be sure to follow @MealsMatter on Twitter for more healthy eating ideas, recipes and meal planning tips.
“Family Meals Matter” features recipes selected by registered dietitians from the thousands of user-contributed recipes available at our free online nutrition and meal-planning website, Meals Matter, sponsored by Dairy Council of California. Healthy Eating Made Easier™
