We need more ideas. Our favorite to date is Sweet Potato Balls.

Mix Together:
insides of 2 sweet potatoes
1 beaten egg
2 tablespoons milk

Form into balls and roll in
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 teas. fresh finely minced parsely

cook by baking on greased baking sheet in pre-heated oven for 10-15 mintes or until egg is throughly cooked.

Look forward to hearing news ideas. Thanks.



Answer
Mini pizzas are always fun, made with whole wheat or whole grain english muffins, pizza sauce, reduced-fat cheese, and topped with lots of yummy veggies!

Or, cut up veggies or fruits in fun shapes like stars or hearts, or use cookie cutters for sandwichs for a fun snack.

All finger food is good like gerber flavored puffs, any kind of cereal like cheerios or kix. I would go for cheerios, they now come in whole grain (:


Hope that helps!

Answer
Watch for excessively processed(lunch meats, mayonaise, margarine, some salad dressings) salt added, high fat foods.Restrict carbonated soft drinks, sodas, candy, cookies, and fast food.Learn to read product labels. Follow portion control, low sugar, low fat-lots of fruit and vegetables, lean cuts of fish and meat. Artifical sweetners should be avoided.

Breakfast: fruit, low fat yogurt, whole grain cereal with 1 or 2 % low fat milk, 100% juice(no sugar added), oatmeal with fruit and no more than 2 teaspoons of raw sugar, occassionally a poached or soft boiled egg with whole grain bread with 1 tbspn real butter, or with peanut butter and honey

Lunch/ dinner: fresh fruit, steamed vegetables, 4 oz broiled boneless skinless chicken breast, fish filets, tuna, lean beef or turkey breast. Pasta with tomato based sauces. Homemade soups.

Snacks and treats: fresh fruit and vegetables, all natural fruit snacks and fruit roll ups, string cheese, low fat,and salt crackers, peanut butter, whole fruit spreads, sandwiches of whole grain bread, vanilla wafers, molasses, or ginger bread cookies(any low fat, low sugar varieties).

Drinks:water, 100% fruit juices, 1 or 2% low fat milk, herbal teas(hot or iced) lightly sweetened.

This doesn't mean an occassional piece of candy, chocolate chip cookie, pizza or hamburger can't be had, these just shouldn't be first and constant fare.

As for recipes follow the above guidelines. Suggestions: Grill meats and steam vegetables then season with herbs and spices. Use as natural ingredients as you can get: raw sugar, nothing with high fructose sugar or syrup, sea salt(has trace minerals and natural iodine), watch for added salt, too.

Hope this helps. Good luck and God Bless.
