  • 30 Healthier Snack Ideas for Kids - It's time for the kids to head back to school. When they come home each afternoon have healthier snacks waiting so that they don't grab for potato chips or cookies. Our members shared their ideas for fun and tasty snacks that are much better than the prepackaged ones that are so easy to grab. A little forethought will get them eating better and they'll thank you for it.
  • Back to School Breakfasts - Quick and Easy - It's back-to-school, or homeschooling time! Whichever way you are going with your kids, schooltime means back to a structured schedule and back to the morning routine of gearing up for the day! Get the kids and yourself off to the right start with a cheap, delicious, home-cooked breakfast.
  • Breakfast on the Go - You've heard it many times before: breakfast is the healthiest way to start the day. Jump-starting the day with breakfast benefits everyone - children, teens and adults. Although this meal helps people of all ages stay more alert and have more energy throughout the day, eating a balanced morning meal is especially important for children and teens, as it prepares them to meet the challenges of learning.
  • Easy Beef Recipes - With the kids back in school and the activities starting up we all need some easy, satisfying meals on a budget. Beef Roasts are great for this! I have gotten them as cheap as .99 a pound, and just recently I found a lean, tender roast for 1.69 a pound. Either way, if you slow cook the roast they will be tender and tasty.
  • Easy Chicken Dinners - Looking for some easy, thrifty ideas for chicken leg quarters? Great meals for families on thego! First, a little tip with a caution added.
  • Mac 'n' Beef Soup - Our friends at the Campbell's Soup Company were kind enough to share this marvelous recipe with us. Try it today for a great dinner with bread or a salad. Great for those rushed afternoons!
  • Quick Breads for After School Snacks - Quick breads are easy, delicious and perfect for holiday hostess gifts, before dinner treats or after school snacks. They can be double wrapped with foil and frozen for two months also. The following recipes are some of our family favorites.
  • Smart Snacks Equal Good Nutrition - If snacks conjure up images of high-calorie, low-nutrient foods, think again. Smart snack foods for people of all ages, including children, come mostly from the five food groups of the Food Guide Pyramid. The following snacks are not only flavorful, convenient and portable, but also provide valuable nutrients kids need:
