Sandwiches: fast, easy menu
School Menu
Do thing» get really hectic at youi
h o m e ju it at dinner time? T h a t’ »
typ ic al fo r a busy h o u ieh o ld . I f
thing» get too hectic, you often
chooae to take the easy way out by
going out to eat.
Eating meals in restaurant» adds a
great deal to the cost o f feeding your
fa m ily . It is fun sometimes fo r a
change or if you consider it enter
tainment, but food is much cheaper
when prepared at home.
I f you 're interested in changing
your hectic schedule, you may want
to plan ahead. There are also some
creative ways to fix a meal in just a
few minutes when that hectic sche
dule can’t be avoided.
Another im portant thing to con
sider is that there are other members
o f the fam ily who may be w illin g
and able to come to your rescue.
T ry analyzing what causes the
feeling o f frustration that leads you
to say— " L e t’s just grab a hambur
ger.”
I f the problem o f a hectic dinner
time is created by finding you’re out
o f important items and you have to
change your menu or dash to the
store, you might consider keeping
track o f items that you run out o f as
you go along.
Especially when you have teen
agers eating everything in sight, you
can enlist their help in writing down
items that they use up.
Is the problem caused by not even
giving dinner a thought until every-
ong starts saying, " I ’m hungry?"
A few minutes o f planning in the
early morning can take the frantic
out o f 5 p.m. Just planning a menu
and setting the meat out o f the
freezer or picking up the one item
from the store or on your way home
could make a big difference.
A n oth er way that planning can
help is to think ahead. For example,
it ’s sometimes helpful to choose a
casserole that w ill make a large
amount so that you can just warm
up the leftovers on the next day
when you know things will be hec
tic.
Even though we've talked about
convenience costing money* it can
save you money i f you use a com
mercially prepared main dish rather
than eating out.
It can be helpful to use the frozen
fried chicken or casserole that only
takes 30 minutes in the oven. In that
30 minutes, you can put the rest o f
the elements o f a good dinner to
gether without feeling pushed.
There are lots o f foods that cook
in a short tim e. H am b u rg er is a
great example o f a quick cooking
meat th a t’s very versatile. T h a t ’ s
probably why it ’s so popular. Even
at today's prices, though, it’s cheap
er to cook hamburger at home than
to eat out.
Other things that are quick to fix
are sandwiches, broiled foods and
very tender cuts o f meat or meats
that only need to be warmed, such
as ham or canned meats. Don’t for
get eggs and cheese for a quick way
to feed the family.
Some o f these quick-to-fix items
are just ideal to turn over to the
other members o f your household to
fix. It can really give prestige to that
eight-year-old to have fixed supper.
T h ere are several outstanding
children’s cookbooks that will help
you choose recipes even very young
children can soon learn to do alone.
Eating out can be fun and also re
lease the pressure when things get
hectic, but it does cost more to feed
your fa m ily . Substitute creativity
and better planning and you can
save that extra cost.
The Oregon State University Ex
tension Service office near you has a
variety o f brochures with specific
food buying in fo rm a tio n to help
you get more for your food dollar.
Sandwiches are sometimes the
answer for a quick meal. Here are
some hot sandwiches that are easy
to fix and very tasty.

cheon or easy family dinner.
