Heather Jose: How To Eat Healthy
You can also use soy cheese or at least the hormone free cheeses that are everywhere now. (Buy them when they are on sale and freeze them.) Add a salad and/or frozen veggies and you are set.
When buying meat, check around for sources of meat besides the grocery store. I buy a large amount of beef from a local farmer who raises it on grass without any extra hormones. This lasts for a long time. It is also very lean. As for chicken, for a long time I stayed away from it all together. Nowadays I will buy whole roasters from the Amish or occasionally buy the no hormone brand chicken breasts when they are on sale. A four-pound roaster will make one dinner with enough leftovers for two full size potpies.
Most weeks I think of dinners like this: pasta night, pizza night, soup or sandwich night, fish night, crock pot or stir fry night, frozen food or breakfast night, and Mexican night. I can do all of these things healthfully and cheaply. Most importantly it works with a busy schedule and gets no complaints from my family. My family still eats more meat than I do, so these types of meals are easy for me to serve with meat for them and meatless for me.
I buy staples when they go on sale.
