I am looking for ideas and tips on eating healthier. All the current food I make for my family is high in calories and sodium. Trying to get more fresh raw ingredients but not so time consuming since soccer season has started and we'll take up a lot of my time. Any suggestions?

    You would be surprised at how many delecious vegetarian recipes are out there on the net. I try to make meals with fresh veggies, beans & etc., & my hubs likes most of them?

    In general to get less sodium and calories use less salt and fewer can openers. Shop in the produce, dairy and fresh meat sections with very few exceptions.

    Agree with Nancy, www.Skinnytaste.com is a great site most of the recipes are quick and simple in addition to being low cal/nutritious. Haven't tried a recipe yet that wasn't good!

    Start one meal at a time. I try to make sure my kids eat a good breakfast. Try overnight oats, peanut butter stuffed french toast. Now they refuse to eat cereal....do for a couple of weeks. Use pre cut veggies. The money you save not buying prepackaged stuff will add up quickly
