Keep these points in mind when you plan meals for your family:
• Include a variety of foods each day and from day to day. Introduce a
new food from time to time.
• Vary flavors and textures. Contrast strong flavor with mild, sweet
with sour. Combine crisp textures with smooth.
• Try to have some meat, poultry, fish, eggs, milk or cheese at each
meal.
• Make a collection of nutritious recipes that the family enjoys and
serve them often.
• Brighten food with color—a slice of red tomato, a sprig of dark
greens, or other garnish.
• Combine different sizes and shapes of food in a meal, when possible.
