Smart Recipes to Help Keep You and Your Family Healthy and Happy

Going out to eat can be a great activity for a family night out. Here at City Base West, we provide the very best selection of family-friendly restaurants in south San Antonio. However, if you decide to cook one meal at home to save money for a dinner date out, here are some nutritious and delicious recipes that will keep your family healthy and happy:

• Cherry Vanilla Oatmeal. This warm and filling meal provides soluble fiber that helps you feel fuller longer, making it a fantastic breakfast option for both children and adults. You will need two cups of oats, three and a half cups of water, half of a cup of cherries, one teaspoon of vanilla, a quarter cup of cherry jam, and a cup of fat-free milk. Boil the water, oats, and cherries in a saucepan and then simmer until oats are ready. Remove this mixture from heat and add your vanilla and cherry jam.

• Tuna Pasta Salad. Tuna is a great lunch choice, because it is packed with protein, vitamins, and minerals. To make this dish, you will need two cups of whole-wheat farfalle, two cans of tuna, a quarter cup of chopped onions, two-thirds of a cup of peas, two-thirds of a cup of low-fat salad dressing, and four cups of fresh spinach. Simply cook and drain the pasta, add the remaining ingredients, and toss until you get your desired mix.

• Crispy Turkey Tostadas. You will need one can of diced tomatoes, one medium onion, three cups of shredded turkey, eight corn tortillas, one avocado, a quarter cup of salsa, two tablespoons of low-fat sour cream, two tablespoons of cilantro, one cup of romaine lettuce, and half of a cup of Monterey Jack cheese. Cook the tomatoes, onion, and turkey on the stove while baking the tortillas until they are crispy. In a separate bowl, combine the avocado, salsa, sour cream, and cilantro. Top each tortilla with the avocado mixture, and then with the turkey mixture.
