Eat Outside Your Box by Jackie Stanley

Ask people from different racial, regional and religious and cultural backgrounds to share their favorite foods and recipes. Incorporate at least 2 of these into your menus.

Buy a new cookbook with recipes from a cuisine you have never tried. Prepare at least one meal a week from the cookbook.

Sit down with a healthy cookbook. Make a list of 30 recipes that look appealing. You don’t have to use them immediately – but they will be there when you need them.

Make a special trip to the grocery store to shop for herbs and spices. Buy at least 5 you’ve never tried and experiment with at least 1 new herb or spice each week.

Take a cooking class. Check your local YMCA or community center for course offerings.

Flip the script. Make a list of the meals you usually eat for breakfast, a list of meals you usually eat for lunch and a list for dinner. Then eat what you normally eat for lunch for dinner, dinner for breakfast and breakfast for lunch.

Each time you go grocery shopping buy at least 5 different brands than you usually do. You may be surprised to learn that different brands offer better taste, nutrition and price.
