As meal planning continues to be a stressful addition to all things COVID-19, we wanted to provide some helpful ideas for some of those canned foods you may have sitting around. Canned foods can be a healthy start to endless meals. They get a bad rap for not being as healthy as fresh or frozen; however, they can be a very healthy start to an easy, affordable, nourishing meal.
First, when purchasing canned fruit, vegetables and beans, look at the nutrition facts label and view the ingredients list. For canned fruit, the fruit should be packed in water or 100% fruit juice rather than a sugar-containing syrup. When purchasing canned vegetables or beans, look for low-sodium options. You can also rinse the vegetables and beans to remove additional sodium. When purchasing soups, look for more broth based and “Reduced Sodium” if possible. You can also make your own soups at home by starting with a base such as reduced sodium beef, chicken or vegetable broth. If this is not an option in the stores, you can buy the regular canned beans and rinse them to remove additional sodium. Now, what can we do with all these items?
Now, start working your way through that pantry!
Happy Eating!

In between the worry, there’s the boredom; a result of staying home most of the day, every day. And while you’ve might use an Amazon Echo for the basics like turning on the TV or playing music, did you know you can also turn to it for entertainment?
