Healthier Choices From the Grocery Store

Lets talk about making healthier meals that are similar to products we buy from the grocery store, that come in a can or box. Sometimes it might mean using the combination of both processed and fresh foods. So instead of using a can or a frozen product you can make something completely homemade I will be the first one to admit that I sometimes use processed foods. Just by walking through the grocery store and using your imagination, you can get many ideas for healthier choice meals.

You will get plenty of ideas when you start reading labels. Why not make similar homemade meals from the ideas you get from these items. For example, lets pick on can pastas with sauce. How easy is that to make homemade? Boil the pasta of your choice and add your favorite canned spaghetti sauce and adjust the seasonings or even add veggies and make it into a Primavera.

Breakfast Pizza

Another favorite is frozen pizza. Instead of buying frozen pizza try your favorite toppings over refrigerated crescent rolls. This morning I made breakfast pizza that only took about 20 minutes total, from start to table. I just spread out the crescent roll on a baking sheet and topped with chopped onion, green pepper, cooked ham (from the Deli), shredded cheese (Mexican blend); covered with 6 scrambled eggs and baked for 12 minutes in 375-degree oven.

Also why buy can soups? Especially broth soups, they are so easy to make at home. One thing you can do is freeze leftover veggies seasoned to taste with the liquid you cooked them in, now you can have a low cost vitamin packed soup anytime by adding beef stock or chicken stock and or tomato juice.

How about homemade meatloaf, meatballs and hamburgers that can be easily prepared all in one step? Season two or three pounds of ground turkey and split into thirds. Now you have three meals prepared and ready to cook or freeze.

That's just a few examples. I'm sure you can come up so many more quick and easy meals that are homemade and healthier for your family.
