Setting up Meals
veggies
In setting up meals variety, balance and moderation are the ingredients in creating a menu that the whole family will enjoy. We need to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables for it is good for our health and to avoid whatever sick we may encounter now a days. Cut down with meat and substitute with fish, tofu, and beans to save money with out cutting out on nutrients, Plan meals that are family like, especially the today are very delicate in what food they like to eat, so it very important to have setting up meals in our daily budget. And make sure that the food will be eaten will not go to waste.

Use food in season, as they usually cheaper, tomatoes for example are abundant now because it is summer time and it cost less, or buy vegetables in the market nor in department stores because it much cheaper, and if we have budget for the whole week better but in bulk and freeze for future use. Some goes for fruits and we can make our own jams and preserve also and our kids I’m sure would love to eat.
- Use local foods; and local brands of processed are usually cheaper. Anyway local foods are also processed in full nutrients and as what Government says,” patronize our own product”.

- Plan one dish meals; in my case I advice my nanny to prepare our viands in combined like combine veggies, meat and sauce to go a longer way, rather than preparing individual servings.
- Go meatless. Substitute fish at least 3 times a week. Beans are also good for replacements, also mongo which is the one and most cheapest healthy foods. We can boil the mongo and place small can of evaporated milk with a little sugar and a good snack for the kids.
- Be creative with leftovers; some foods can be eaten in the next mail like meats and we can recycled it and mix with vegetables and a great meals for the family.
