Busy families need easy, nutritious and inexpensive meals that don’t require a lot of preparation time or ingredients. Use meat as a condiment, rather than the entire course to trim your grocery budget. Soups, stir-frys and casseroles call for only a few ounces of meat per person, so feeding a family of four requires only a pound of meat or poultry.

Making desserts to please the entire family does not have to mean sacrificing time or money. With some prior planning, you can whip up a alternative to ice cream that uses real fruit. To add decadence to this dessert without making it too sinful, a spoonful of sweetened condensed milk is poured on top, giving this dessert the flavor of peaches and cream in a chilly treat that is perfect for cooling off with on the hottest summer days.

These snacks easily one-up the frozen fish sticks from the grocery. While traditional fish sticks are typically fried, try this oven-baked alternative for a healthier option. They offer the same quick and hearty joy as store-bought fish sticks, but they are healthier and better-tasting. Don’t take my word for it – ask your kids after you’ve served these fish sticks for lunch. That’s an ace in the hole!

Everyone these days is looking for healthy snacks that are not only easy to grab on the go and eat, but also affordable.

It seems the healthier the snacks get, the higher the price. A great way to combat this is by making your own healthy snacks – they can always be on hand and you know exactly what goes into them. You can also adjust the ingredients so they are just what you and your family like.
