10 ideas to help food boredom

  • Turkey instead of chicken sometimes. Use in casseroles, crock pots or anytime a recipe calls for chicken.
  • Tuna steaks instead of salmon. Tuna has a more mild taste and a nice texture for grilling. Best cooked rare but doesn’t have to be.
  • Substitute kale for spinach once in a while. Kale has a nice, earthy flavor. Try in lasagna and casseroles.
  • Quinoa instead of rice for a change. Quinoa is a healthy whole grain, higher in protein.
  • Side of barley instead of rice, potatoes or pasta.
  • Parsnips instead of carrots. Parsnips are a great addition to fall menus. They add a rich flavor to the plate.
  • Instead of green beans, try sugar snap peas. Saute’ in olive oil and kosher or sea salt.
  • Fresh herbs instead of dried.
  • Honey instead of sugar or jelly.
  • Baked or mashed sweet potatoes instead of regular Idaho or red skins. Better flavor, better for you.
