“ I love to make big batches of soup on the
weekends, then divide it into quart-size
containers and freeze it,” Ellie says.
“This way I know there's always a
healthy, delicious meal on hand.” He
family's favorites: lentil, minestrone,
and chicken noodle. (Avoid freezing
soups that contain milk.)

PLANNING AHEAD
"When vegetables and fruits are
in season, I take advantage of all
things that can be frozen. I even
freeze leftovers; put them in
microwaveable trays and you
have a meal readily on hand at
all times."
LAKERGIRL West Salem, Ohio
CREATIVE LEFTOVERS
"Leftover rice? Combine it with
lean ground turkey, tomato
sauce, and veggies to make
healthy stuffed peppers or
stuffed cabbage rolls. By
thinking about how to reuse
things in the fridge, you are
more conscious of what you are
putting in your body."

SMALL PORTIONS
"I halve everything I eat and
try to keep my portions small.
I usually use a small plate,
which helps me not get out
of hand."
SHERRIL Smithsburg, Maryland
VEGETABLE GARDEN
"I started a small garden last
year and was thrilled with the
results. I plan to expand it this
summer to include more
produce. Not only will I have
access to fresh veggies and
herbs during the summer, but I
started canning last year and
plan to can some of the produce
to use during the cold-weather
months."
