Feel free to tell us your own ideas as well
Read Labels
As you walk through your Brookhaven store doing the weekly grocery shopping, take the time to read the ingredient label and nutritional information of prepared foods. Try to eat less sugar, salt, and unsaturated fats. If the ingredients list is full of names that you can’t pronounce, perhaps you should ask yourself if it’s really something that you want to serve your family.
Eat your Vegetables
Most of us fall considerably short of the suggested daily intake of fruits and vegetables; if you shop at our stores regularly, you will have to agree that it’s not for lack of variety. In any given week we carry over 400 different fresh fruits and vegetables. If you see something that you are unfamiliar with, ask for help.
In addition, our web site has over 6,400 recipe available for you to use. All you need to do is go to the search box and type in the specific ingredient you are interested in using. For example, if you were to look up
brussels sprout,
you would discover 13 different recipes that all call for that ingredient.
Try Something New
The next time you go to a favorite restaurant, don’t pick your old stand-by. Ask your server to suggest something new and exciting, and give it a try!
Cook More
I love eating out as much as the next person, but there’s nothing more satisfying than cooking and enjoying your own meal.
Dinner with Family and Friends
Dine with family and friends. In the process, take the time to sit and enjoy your food, not mindlessly gorge while watching the television. This is the best opportunity you will have each day to bring the family closer together. Take advantage of your time together and appreciate each other's company over a good, home-cooked meal.
