Registered Dietitian Maura J. Woolsey, RD, LD, encouraged families to start with a plan during her presentation for Thrive Excelsior’s Quarterly Lunch and Learn at Excelsior Springs Hospital last Wednesday, May 7, 2025. “Choose your main protein first, then build your meals with simple staples and sides,” she advises. Social media platforms like Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook offer a wealth of budget-friendly recipe ideas, from batch-cooked casseroles to freezer-friendly soups and pastas.
Batch cooking meats in bulk can also stretch your dollar. “Season and use later,” Woolsey says. This strategy cuts down on prep time during the week while reducing waste.
