1. Enjoy your food, but eat less• Food is fuel for our bodies.
• Slow down and pay attention to hunger and fullness cues.
• Only eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full.
2. Focus on nutrient-rich foods• Fill the majority of your plate with:
• Fat-free and low-fat dairy products
• Vegetables
• Fruits
• Whole grains
• They are loaded with healthy nutrition like calcium, vitamin D, potassium and f iber.
• When possible, buy fresh, in season fruits and vegetables and shop the perimeter of your grocery store.
3. Foods to eat less often• Foods high in fat, sugar and salt, can be empty
calories adding to our waistline.
• Read food labels and compare brands to help trim these foods in your diet.
Take these 3 Simple Steps to making healthy food enjoyable
When you see this MyPlate by each meal, you will f ind suggestions on pairings that will make a complete MyPlate meal.
Eating is essential for life, and as you might guess, this has been known for some time! Another age old concept that we’re now relearning is how important good nutrition is in order to achieve and maintain good health. As Hippocrates, the founder of Western medicine said, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
But how do we know what healthy meals look like? Nutrition guidelines used to be more complicated, but new recommendations from the USDA have made things much simpler through the MyPlate method of eating, www.choosemyplate.gov. MyPlate emphasizes the f ive food groups that are the building blocks of a healthy diet, with a familiar image – a place setting for your meal. You see lean/low-fat protein, veggies, fruit, whole grains and dairy, including skim or low-fat milk, yogur t and cheese, which is a great source of calcium, vitamin D and other impor tant nutrients. With this approach we try to have a well-balanced meal at each sitting. This booklet follows the MyPlate guidelines and offers a week of meals that meet the recommendations.
My wife and I both work outside the home and so planning healthy meals in advance is a great way to make sure we offer the healthiest foods to our kids. Our family has tried some of the recipes in the booklet and they were easy to prepare, tasty and enjoyed by our whole family. Trying out new recipes is a great way to sample new foods together, and if you recruit your kids to help select and prepare the meal, they’ll be more likely to try it. One of our sons is not a huge fan of veggies, however had we never tried baked kale chips, we would have never known – or even dreamed – that he would like this great nutritious vegetable. I encourage you to explore these recipes and keep offering and trying new foods with your family - and I hope you enjoy some good family fun in the process!

1 egg ½ cup canned pumpkin ½ cup low-fat vanilla yogurt
For topping2 cups low-fat vanilla yogurt ¼ cup maple syrup¼ teaspoon cinnamon
P R E P A R AT I O N1. In small mixing bowl, briskly combine vanilla
yogurt, maple syrup and cinnamon until yogurt becomes looser texture. Reserve.
2. Combine f lour, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. In a medium bowl, combine milk, butter, egg, pumpkin and yogurt, mixing well.

BreakfastPumpkin Pancakes with Maple Yogurt Topping
Karen’s Tips•Be sure to add enough milk to make batter a thin consistency. •Health Tip: “Try sugar-free, fat-free yogurt and Mrs. Butterworth’s sugar-free
syrup and cinnamon.”
The pancakes could be served with turkey bacon or turkey sausage and apple slices. The apple would enhance the textural properties of this meal and be good with the fruit topping.

Karen’s Tips•The Black Bean Quesadillas were easy to prepare and
wonderful, and my family loved these.•For more seasoning, serve the quesadillas with a hotter
salsa or chopped jalapenos to the side.•Health Tip: I used LaTortilla Factory Smart and Delicious
High Fiber tortillas and sprayed the skillet with vegetable spray instead of using butter. Use your favorite whole grain (high f iber) tortilla and use cooking spray when cooking the quesadilla.
