Tip 1 : Add non-fat powdered milk to casseroles, soups or pasta dishes to get added calcium.
Tip 2 : Popeye had it right--use spinach in a salad or to top off a sandwich. Try its cousins--kale and collards--in soups and side dishes.
Tip 3 : Make a sweet potato casserole healthier by adding fruits and 100% fruit juice for sweetness instead of brown sugar and marshmallows.
Tip 4 : Be food safe! Cook poultry to 165° F, and chopped or ground beef, lamb, veal, and pork to 160° F.
Tip 5 : Not sure if you will use the whole bag of spinach? Add baby spinach leaves to a stir-fry, pasta sauce, salads, wraps or omelets.
Tip 6 : Make a smoothie by blending fat-free milk or yogurt with fresh or frozen fruit. Try bananas, peaches, or mixed berries.
Tip 7 : Keep a bowl of cut-up veggies in a see-through container in the refrigerator so they are easier to spot.
Tip 8 : Applesauce isn't just for snacks! Use it in place of some oil when baking. Experiment--replace some oil with the same amount of applesauce!
Tip 9 : Walnuts are great in salads, and slivered almonds in veggie dishes. When you add nuts, cut back on meat or poultry portions in the meal.
Tip 10 : Add fruit like sliced apples, pears, or a few berries to your salad bowl.
