MENUS
These menus are not rigid guides and can be used in
any order. They give suggestions for thrifty food
choices and healthy ways to prepare foods. The foods
used in the menus are a variety of commonly eaten
meats, milk products, vegetables, fruits, grain
products, and mixed dishes.
The daily menus show how you can combine a
larger amount of less expensive foods, such as dry
beans and grain products, with a smaller amount of
meats, poultry, and fish. Some convenience or ready-
to-eat food items are included in the menus.
However, many of the foods are prepared from
“scratch” to keep cost as low as possible.
These menus and recipes are designed for a healthy
four-person family. The amount listed after each food
item is the total amount for a family with two adults
and two children 6 to 11 years old.
