MAKE IT HEALTHY!

Just wanted to put a word out there about making our dishes as healthy as possible. Obviously, you can use vegetables in your dishes, but here are some other hints to make your dishes healthy:

Use whole wheat pasta
Use organic ingredients whenever possible
Use lean meat or use poulty
Use meat substitutes also
Tomato-based sauces are more heart healthy than creamy sauces
Use Olive oil or Canola oil instead of butter or other types of oil
Use 1% milk or skim in your recipes

These are just some tips to help us make our meals more healthy. If anyone else has any more suggestions, please post them!

Barilla Plus is a good pasta to use if you (or a family member) does not like whole wheat. It has extra protein, fiber, & omega 3 but tastes more like original pasta.
