I enjoy food that is tastefully prepared and colorful. Make a list of the types of foods you like to eat. That would include meat, veggies and starches. In the meat department some choices can create rollover meals. For example, chicken breast can be made into a salad, fried, baked, stewed, soups, salads and add gravy. You can plan a meal around any of these.
If you are on a tight budget you are looking to stretch your meals so that you can take a meat like chicken and create several meals. I don’t know about you but chicken prices seem to be higher these days. I am picky about how my chickens are grown. I don’t want chickens who have been given hormones, although packaging labels can lie.
How many ways do you know how to prepare chicken? Invite you to share your recipes.
Ground Turkey is another meat that can give you a lot of cluck for your buck. You can make meat sauce with Spaghetti, add chopped lettuce, tomatoes, cheese,and make a Taco. The Turkey meat sauce can also be placed over two slices of whole wheat bread, add some veggies, or a salad, for a Sloppy Joe.
Another delicious dish you can make using the Turkey meat before you put the sauce or any other ingredients, is a Shepherd’s Pie, using mash potatoes. Mix the mash potatoes according to the instructions on the box, pour some on the bottom of the pan, add cooked Turkey Meat, some peas, carrots, and add another layer of mashed potatoes over the meat, peas, etc. You might do a second layer with meat, peas, etc. and a final layer of mashed potatoes.
Sprinkle your favorite cheese on the top, stick it in the oven for a few minutes and it is ready to serve.
Everything in moderation. You can eat good nutrition on a budget and improve your health.
