Create Meals from Basic Foods on Hand - Solve the "What's for Dinner" Dilemma Many of us don't decide what to eat for an evening meal until 4 p.m. or later. One way to ease the "dinner dilemma" is to plan meals like some people plan clothing purchases. Consider the person who rapidly mixes and matches a few clothing items into dozens of different outfits. Perform that same trick in your kitchen! Stock up with basic foods that quickly assemble into an assortment of different and delicious meals.

You're tired, there's no one else to fix dinner for tonight and all you feel like doing is pouring a bowl of cereal. But, wait! Take an extra 5 minutes and prepare this luscious parfait, full of foods from 3 of the 5 food groups. No need to get out your recipe book. Forget about the measuring cups and spoons. Just layer yogurt, low-fat granola and fresh, frozen or canned fruit in whatever proportions you'd like. Add some nuts and you've included a 4th food group. A sprig of mint is optional! And there's no sink full of dishes!
