Simple Ways to Say "Goodbye" to Bland
From Family FeaturesShake up family mealtime and make the most out of flavorful pantry staples. From canned vegetables, seafood and soups to boxes of dry pasta or rice, there are many pennywise ways to perk up meals. Here are a few quick ideas:
-Pour a zesty bottled picante sauce over chicken or fish before baking. It not only keeps the meat moist, but it also makes for an easy and delicious sauce.
-Canned beans are a healthful way to extend a hearty pasta entree. Simply substitute canned beans for all or half the amount of meat called for in a recipe. It's not only filling and convenient, but the beans are packed with nutrients, too.
-Use lower sodium broths or stocks in place of water when boiling rice, couscous or other grains to add a boost of flavor.
