  2. Plan Ahead • Keep meals simple! You can make healthy meals fast. • Cook when you have more time – maybe on weekends. Make soups, stews, or casseroles to freeze for the next week. • Do some tasks the day before. Wash and cut vegetables or make fruit salad. Your child can help. Cook noodles for pasta salad. Cook lean ground beef or turkey for tacos. Refrigerate all food items until used. • Make non-cook meals and snacks: • salads with canned tuna, chicken or beans • cold sandwiches • raw vegetables and low-fat yogurt • fruit • Cook for today and later. You can make enough meat sauce for spaghetti today and for topping a baked potato tomorrow. • Twice Baked Potatoes • Makes 4 servings • Ingredients: • 4 medium russet potatoes • 8 ounces lean ground beef • 1 cup broccoli florets, finely chopped • 1 cup water • 1 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese, divided ½ cup reduced-fat sour cream ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper 3 green onions, sliced Choose foods to promote a healthy future at every stage of life.

Place in the microwave and cook on medium, turning once or twice, until the potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes. (or in your oven preheated to 400 degrees for 40-60 minutes depending on the size of the potato). • Meanwhile, brown meat in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Increase heat to high, add broccoli and water to the pan, cover, and cook until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain the broccoli; add to the meat. • Carefully cut off the top third of the cooked potatoes; reserve the tops for another use. Scoop out the insides into a medium bowl. Place the potato shells in a small baking dish. Add ½ cup Cheddar , sour cream, salt and pepper to the potato inside and mash with a fork or potato masher. Add green onions and the potato mixture to the broccoli and meat; stir to combine. • Evenly divide the potato mixture among the potato shells and top with the remaining ½ cup cheese. Microwave on High until filling is hot and the cheese is melted, 2 to 4 minutes. (or bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes). • Benefits of Meal Planning • Saves time. You will have everything you need for the meal you want to prepare, which will save running to the store for missing items. • Saves money. Going to the store less frequently helps save money. • Improves nutritional value of meals. When you plan meals, you are more likely to serve foods that are nutritious. • Reduces stress by eliminating the question, what should I cook for dinner.
