A Seasonal Guide to Healthy Eating
Commemorating 50 years of School Lunch

This Week's Recipe:

Meal in a Potato

45 minutes—1 hour Serves: 4

This makes a fun side dish or hearty snack. To make it into a true meal, add leftover meat, poultry, fish, or mashed beans, and vegetables like chopped spinach or broccoli to the potato.

If you have a child who is older and helps to get dinner started, this is a nice recipe to suggest. (To save on time: "bake" the potatoes in a microwave.)

Ingredients
4 large potatoes
1 Tbsp oil
4 Tbsp grated lowfat sheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp of nutmeg

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Scrub potatoes well. Dry with a towel. Rub the outside with oil. Bake about 45 minutes—1 hour until potato is soft.
Cut off a cap lengthwise. Scoop out some of the pulp and mix with the cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Spoon back into potato. Replace cap. Serve.

This Month includes United Nations Day (October 24). Why not create an "Adventures in Eating" bulletin board at home? Put a map of the world on it. Get Colored pins. Each time a child tries foods from each Pyramid Food Group they make a colorful cutout of the food, and attach it to the map with a pin, in the area of the world where that food is commonly eaten. Remember to celebrate "National School Lunch Week."
