If you find that you're having trouble coming up with an adequate
list, try looking through cookbooks - especially old cookbooks.
Old cookbooks were typically written for very busy homemakers
on a budget, and many of the recipes are quick to make. Don't
forget about Mom and Dad. Give them a call and ask what you
ate when you were growing up, since you've probably forgotten
some old favorites.

 It makes it simple for other family members to pitch in with menu planning and shopping. This also allows you to see what you're really eating. Are you getting a balanced diet? Are you eating deep green, orange and cruciferous vegetables? Citrus fruit? Whole grains and beans? What about fat content - is it hovering around a reasonable 25-30%? With the family menu you can begin to make healthy adjustments to your diet. Begin by listing fifteen or twenty main dishes that you know and love - and are able to cook. Ask your partner and kids to pitch in. This is not a strictly "from-scratch" list, |
so be sure to
include your favorite pre-packaged stuff and everything else
you eat that doesn't come from a restaurant. Add to the list
a variety of vegetables and veggie side dishes you like, then
fruit and fruit dishes (including fruit juice), and other side
dishes and snacks, like muffins.
 Add any special breakfast or lunch food that you normally buy, and beverages like milk, coffee, tea, wine and beer. You can add a dessert and sweets section to the list if this is part of your diet. |
