Here are three tips for planning family meals, and stretching your food dollar as children head back to school.
Map out your meals each week. Avoid mealtime stress by planning a weekly menu with your family. Include meals like stews, casseroles, or soups, which stretch expensive items into more portions.
Plan time for family meals. Cook, eat, and clean up together. Use your valuable family time to unplug, interact, and focus on each other.
Cook once, eat twice. Prepare enough of a dish to eat multiple times. Freeze family sized portions for meals later in the month.
