Improving Nutrition and a Healthy Meal By Monica Resinger In an effort to improve my family's nutrition, I have been making a lot of healthy changes to our diet over the past few years. As a mother, I am responsible for feeding my family, their nutrition and teaching them nutrition. There are so many choices available to us that it can be hard to keep nutrition in mind. A lot of what is offered in grocery stores is not nutritious at all and is only filling our bodies with unnecessary junk that either makes us fat or gives us other health problems. It is up to us to learn about nutrition and make choices according to this. To learn about nutrition, there are a variety of books on the subject and resources on the Internet. I would suggest doing a search on a search engine for ânutrition' or visiting your local library. One of my goals for improving nutrition is to reduce the amount of red meat in our diet. Red meat contains a lot of fat and by substituting fish or chicken, you're cutting back on a lot of fat and calories, therefore improving nutrition. This has been challenging to accomplish because we love âmeat and potatoes â meals but I'm discovering there are a lot of lighter, healthier options that my family enjoys just as much. Here's a meal that has satisfied my âmeat and potatoes' family. Baked Cod, Broccoli, Crab Chowder Baked Potato Baked Cod 1 pound cod filets lemon pepper seasoning nonstick spray Preheat oven to 425*F. Spray a baking sheet with the nonstick spray, then arrange cod filets on it. Sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning to taste, then bake for 10-15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Broccoli, Crab Chowder 2 cups water 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules 1 large head broccoli, cut into pieces, including the stems 2 Tbsp margarine or butter 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour 1 1/4 cups milk 1/2 pound imitation crab, or real if you prefer Combine the water and bouillon granules in a large saucepan. Add the broccoli and cook until very tender, about 6 minutes. Put the broccoli mixture into a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Meanwhile, in the same saucepan you cooked the broccoli in, melt the margarine over medium heat. Add the flour and cook until bubbly. Add the milk and whisk until smooth. Cook until thickened and bubbly. Add the imitation crab and the broccoli mixture to the milk mixture and heat until heated through. For the baked potatoes, you can microwave them or bake them, whichever you prefer. When you dress your potato with condiments, be sure to stay away from the fatty stuff. Use nonfat sour cream, nonfat yogurt, low-fat cheese, chives or salsa instead of regular sour cream and butter. For you meat and potatoes lovers, I hope you'll try this, it is very good and satisfying.
