Healthy Ideas Eating Healthy on a Budget
Eat healthy and save money! Every week we will offer a new recipe featuring healthy ingredients on special in this week's circular.
Memorial Day, Grillside
When you break out the grill for Memorial Day, really put it to work for you and grill your side dishes, too!
- Grill corn on the cob. Just soak whole cobs for 15 minutes, then peel off all but the last few layers of husk. Peel those back, then rush kernels with butter or oil and herbs, then rewrap with husks and grill 15 minutes or until tender (watch carefully to avoid charring!)
- Marinate veggies, like zucchini, tomato, asparagus or large mushrooms. Cook directly on the grill, or wrap in a foil packet for less cleanup.
- Try fruits, too! Pineapple and peaches grill especially well, and make a great summer dessert when topped with a little whipped cream, cinnamon and a drizzle of honey.
