Make Half Your Grains Whole
MyPyramid
Helps Build
a Healthy Diet
•
6 ounces of grains are recommended each day. Eat at least 3 ounces
of whole grain cereals, breads, crackers, rice, or pasta every day.
•
One ounce is about 1 slice of bread, 1 cup of breakfast cereal, or 1/2
cup of cooked rice or pasta.
•
To find whole grains, look on the label to see that grains such as
wheat, rice, oats, or corn are referred to as "whole" in the list of
ingredients.
Isn't bread fattening?
No, but toppings add extra calories. Go easy on high fat spreads such as
margarine and butter.
Creative Uses for Bread
Making Croutons
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
•
Toast bread for breakfast or snacks. Top with fat-free spread:
jams, applesauce, or fresh fruit slices.
•

pudding.
•
Make croutons to garnish salads
and soups, or to use in your favorite stuffing recipe.
2. Use slices of whole grain or white bread. Cut into 1/2 to 1inch cubes.
3. Arrange cubes in a shallow baking pan.
4. Bake until golden brown - about 20 minutes - stirring
occasionally.
5. Cool and store in an airtight container.
Making Bread Crumbs
•
Use bread crumbs:
-
in meat loaf, meatballs, and patties.
-
to coat chicken, fish or pork chops before baking.
-
for a topping on casseroles.
1. Save slices of dry bread in the freezer.
2. When you need bread crumbs, grate frozen slices of bread
by hand or use a blender.
3. Store in tightly closed bag or container in freezer.

Low fat cooking tips:
• Eat chicken without the skin.
• Bake, broil, or grill chicken instead of frying.
A recipe calls for cooked chicken . . .
How do I do it?
Cooked Chicken
(For salads, sandwiches and casseroles)
1 chicken, whole or cut up
3 stalks celery (optional)
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1 small onion (optional)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1. Put chicken in a kettle. Add water and remaining ingredients.
2. Bring to a boil. Cover tightly. Reduce heat and simmer one
hour or until fork tender.
3. Remove from heat and strain broth. Refrigerate chicken and
broth separately.
4. When chicken is cool, remove and throw away skin and bones.
Cut meat into chunks. Use or refrigerate immediately. A 3
pound chicken will provide about 2-1/2 cups cooked diced
chicken and about 2 cups broth.
5. You may use cooked chicken instead of red meat in many of
your favorite recipes.
Using broth
•
•
•
Fat will float to the top of refrigerated broth. Take it off
and throw it away.
Use broth and part of the cooked chicken to make soup.
Freeze broth in freezer containers or ice cube trays. Put
frozen cubes into freezer bags. Use in recipes calling for
broth.
Not all chicken is low in fat
The way a food is prepared makes a difference. Compare the
number of teaspoons of fat in these portions of chicken. (Each
teaspoon equals 4 grams of fat.)

Keeping Eggs Safe
• Get the eggs home and refrigerate
immediately.
• Check to make sure none of the eggs have
been broken or cracked on the way home.
Throw away broken eggs. They are not safe to
use.
• Store eggs in the carton they come in. Keep the eggs in the
refrigerator. It is best not to store them in the door, because
they will be exposed to warm air every time the refrigerator is
open.
• Uncooked eggs can be kept in the refrigerator for 3 weeks.
Important!
Harmful bacteria in raw eggs may cause food poisoning.
To make sure foods made with eggs are safe to eat,
follow these rules:
• Be sure to cook eggs thoroughly until the whites and
yolks are firm. Eggs should not be runny.
• Serve eggs right after cooking.
• Do not eat foods that contain raw eggs (such as
cookie dough).

Eggs are low cost and
easy to prepare for any meal
-- breakfast, lunch,
or supper!
Eggs can be prepared in many different ways.

Creative Uses
for Eggs
• Serve eggs in
French toast, pancakes, fried rice, or use them for baking
cookies and muffins.
• Use eggs in meat dishes such as meatballs, salmon loaf, or
hamburger patties. Eggs help hold the meat together and
allow you to serve more people for less money.
• Add hard cooked eggs to tuna salad, potato salad, pasta salad,
and macaroni and cheese, or make egg salad sandwiches.
Hard Cooked Eggs
1. Put unbroken eggs in a sauce pan
and cover with cold water.
2. Heat to boiling. Cover pan and
remove from heat. Wait 20 minutes.
3. Serve eggs hot; or cool quickly in cold water.
4. Store hard cooked eggs in the refrigerator. Use within
1 week.
• Eggs are part of the Meat Poultry, Fish, Dry Beans, Eggs and
Nut group.
• 5-1/2 ounces per day are recommended from this group.
Eggs can replace meat for variety in our meals.
• Eggs provide protein, vitamins, and minerals needed for good
health.
• To lower fat and cholesterol, substituting 2 egg whites for 1
egg will work in most recipes.
Child Helper Hints
Allow your children to help when you are
cooking. It helps them become excited
about trying new foods. They will learn
about planning and preparing nutritious
meals.
Everyone should wash their hands before
touching food.
Children can:
• Help measure the ingredients.
• Break eggs into a separate bowl.
• Help blend eggs and other ingredients together.
• Get other parts of the dinner ready. For example: wash fruit,
make toast and help set the table.
Thank your children for helping!

Physical activities can be fun, and help kids:
• build healthy bones and muscles
• improve strength and fitness
• feel good about themselves
Plan to help your child
be more physically active:
Write down ideas for increasing your child's activity
level and check those that you've done. Activities may
include some things your child already does - such as
playing with friends at home or on the school
playground. These can be done in short spurts, 10
minutes here, 5 minutes there. Try to add up 60
minutes or more over the course of your child's day.

prevent heart disease by strengthening you heart
muscle, lowering your blood pressure, improving
your cholesterol levels, and improving blood flow.
• Obesity. Physical activity helps to reduce body fat
by building muscles and using more calories.
• Back Pain. By increasing muscle strength and
endurance, and improving flexibility and posture,
regular activity may help to prevent back pain.
• Osteoporosis. Regular weight-bearing activity
promotes bone formation and may prevent many
forms of bone loss associated with aging.
• Type 2 Diabete. By reducing body fat, physical
activity can help to prevent and control this type of

Physical Activity
and
Your Health
Regular physical activity
can help control your weight.
Physical activity helps to control
your weight by using excess calories
that otherwise would be stored as fat. Your body weight
is regulated by the number of calories you eat and use
each day. Everything you eat contains calories, and
everything you do uses calories, including sleeping,
breathing, and digesting food. Any physical activity in
addition to what you normally do will use extra calories.
Regular physical activity
is good for your health and your weight.
Regular physical activity is an important part of
effective weight maintenance or weight loss. It also
can help prevent several diseases and improve your
overall health.
It does not matter what type of physical activity you
perform -- sports, planned exercise, household
chores, yard work, or work-related tasks -- all are
beneficial. Studies show that even inactive people can
benefit their health if they accumulate 30 minutes or
more of physical activity per day.
Regular physical activity, combined with healthy
eating habits, is the most efficient and healthful way
to control your weight. Whether you are trying to lose
weight or maintain weight, physical activity is
important to include in your lifestyle.
Finding the right balance.
When you eat more calories than
you need to perform your day's
activities, your body stores the
extra calories and you gain weight.
When you eat fewer calories than
you use, your body uses the stored
calories and you lose weight.
When you eat the same amount of
calories as your body uses, your
weight stays the same.

Tips for
Preparing and Serving
Meat with Less Fat
1.
Trim fat and skin from meat before
eating
• Trim off the fat
and skin from meat
and poultry.
Eat less meat
A deck of cards is
about the size of
3 ounces of meat,
poultry or fish.
• Remove fat from
canned meats.
For many adults, this
is half or more of the
amount they need for
the whole day.
• Buy tuna packed in water.
2.
3.
Cook meats by . . .
baking
boiling
grilling
broiling
microwaving
stir-frying
• Drain off fat after browning meat.
• Cook with little or no added fat, use non-stick
pans.
• Use half the amount of meat called for in soup
and chili.
• Chill cooked meat, soups and stews and remove
the solid fat layer from the top.
When you eat less meat, add more grains, fruits and
vegetables to your meal. For example, the following
meal has lots of different foods and has less fat than a
fried chicken dinner.
1 small baked skinless
chicken leg and thigh
1 plain baked potato
1 slice bread
1/2 cup peas/carrots
1 pat margarine
1 piece of fresh fruit

you purchase from the grocery store.
• Wash your hands with warm, soapy water before cooking or
eating, and after using the bathroom.
• Wash knives and cutting boards with hot, soapy water after
working with raw meat and chicken.
• Keep raw meat and chicken separate from fresh fruits and
vegetables in the refrigerator and on the counter.
• Be aware that children, the elderly, and people who are
already sick should be extra careful. These persons should not
consume the following foods:
• Unpasteurized cider
• Raw or rare hamburger
• Alfalfa sprouts
• Raw (unpasteurized) milk and cheese made from raw milk
Food in the supermarket today is generally safe to eat, but a little
care taken in your kitchen - like cooking hamburgers thoroughly will help keep your family safe and healthy.

What you should
know about
E.coli O157:H7
E. coli O157:H7 at a Glance
The bacteria E. coli O157:H7, also just
known as O157, is a rare but dangerous type
of E. coli. Some animals carry the bacteria. It
can be transferred from animal to animal,
from animal to human, and from person to
person through close contact. You can
become infected by eating contaminated food.
Food Sources
Children and adults have become sick from
consuming under-cooked hamburger, raw
milk, unpasteurized juice and cider,
contaminated water, and vegetables fertilized
with cow manure- all foods that may be
contaminated with E.coli O157:H7.
The Illness
O157 is a dangerous bacteria. Just a few of
these bacteria can make you sick. If you eat
contaminated food or water, you will begin to
feel sick after 2-10 days. The illness normally
lasts for one week. People who are infected
may suffer bloody diarrhea, cramps and fever.
Complications
Young children, the elderly, pregnant women
and those who are already sick may become
extremely ill. Children may develop HUS
(hemolytic uremic syndrome) that can cause
kidney failure, brain damage, strokes and
seizures. Children and the elderly are most at
risk of death from this illness.

Is Your Pottery
Safe to Use?
Your pottery may contain lead.
Health authorities are advising people not to prepare
food in pottery from Mexico or Latin America
because this pottery may have high levels of lead.
This pottery may be red, brown, tan, and shiny and is
often used to cook beans or other
foods. Other imported pottery such
as pitchers and mugs may also
have large amounts of lead.
Lead from pottery can
cause lead poisoning.
Lead from pottery can enter the food that is in the
pottery. Lead will not change the look or taste of the
food or drink. If you or your children eat food that
contains lead, lead will enter the body and can cause
lead poisoning.
Lead poisoning is especially dangerous
for pregnant women and children.
Children with lead poisoning may have difficulty
learning. They may also have behavior problems and
can become very sick.
Make sure your pottery is safe.
Follow these guidelines
Safe:
• Pottery made today in the United States must meet
safety guidelines for lead and should be safe to use
for food.
• Pottery is safe to use if it has a label such as:
“Safe for food use”
“Seguro para usar con alimentos”
Unsafe:
• Pottery made in other countries may not be safe to
use for food.
• Old or antique pottery may be unsafe to use for
food.
• Pottery is unsafe to use if it has a label such as:
“Not for food use” “No usar con los alimentos”
“Plate may poison food”
“Objeto puede contaminar los alimentos”
“For decorative purposes only”
“Solamente para decorar”
Look carefully — this label may be erased or
painted over.
• Pottery is unsafe to use if it has a gray powder on
the glaze after the pottery has been washed.

Physical activities can be fun, and help kids:
• build healthy bones and muscles
• improve strength and fitness
• feel good about themselves
Plan to help your child
be more physically active:
Write down ideas for increasing your child's activity
level and check those that you've done. Activities may
include some things your child already does - such as
playing with friends at home or on the school
playground. These can be done in short spurts, 10
minutes here, 5 minutes there. Try to add up 60
minutes or more over the course of your child's day.
Include
physical activity
in your child's daily life:
Some things I could do to help my child be more active:
ü
1.
2.
• children need at least 60 minutes of physical activity
every day. It can be done all at once or in several
short periods of time during the day.
3.
• set a good example for your children by being active
yourself.
4.
• encourage your child to be physically active at school
by playing tag and jumping rope, or by taking part in
physical education classes and programs.
• encourage your child to be physically active at home
by riding bikes and playing with friends.
• encourage your children and other family members to
spend more time in active play and less time watching
television or using a computer.
Remember:
• More physical activity is better than less, and any is
better than none.
• Enjoy being active with your child!

Listeria is a bacteria that can cause illness.
If you eat food that has Listeria in it, you may get
sick. The illness is rare and most people who get it
just feel like they have the flu. The illness can be
much more serious for people who are over 60 or
have a serious illness such as cancer, AIDS, cirrhosis
or diabetes. If a pregnant woman gets sick with
Listeria, the baby she is carrying may die.
Listeria can be found in many foods.
Listeria is in soil and can live on fruits and vegetables
and in raw meat, poultry and fish. Listeria has been
found in soft cheeses such as Mexican-style, feta and
brie that have not been made and handled properly.
Listeria has also been found in hot dogs and foods
from the delicatessen.
You cannot see, smell or taste Listeria.
You cannot tell if a food has Listeria in it.
Listeria can be killed by high heat.
Listeria will grow in the refrigerator and in warm
food. Foods must be heated thoroughly to destroy
Listeria.
Stay healthy. Follow these food safety
rules:
• Wash hands before working with food or eating.
• Use only pasteurized dairy
products.
• Wash fresh fruits and
vegetables before eating.
• Keep raw meat, poultry and
fish and their juices separate
from cooked and ready-to-eat foods.
Wash well
• Wash hands, sinks, counter, knives and dishes with
soap and hot water after contact with uncooked food.
• Thoroughly cook all meat,
poultry, seafood and eggs
before eating.
• Keep hot foods hot and cold
foods cold. Do not allow hot
or cold foods to stand at room
temperature for longer than
two hours.
Cook meat well
• Chill leftovers quickly in the refrigerator and reheat
leftovers until steaming hot before eating.
Si está embarazada, tiene más de 60 años,
o tiene una enfermedad grave reduzca el
riesgo de enfermarse por la Listeria. Siga
éstes consejos:
→ Evite los quesos suaves como:
• Quesos estilo méxicano
como queso blanco y
queso fresco
• Feta, Brie, Camembert y
el queso de venas azules
como el Roquefort
→ Caliente los alimentos listos

Tips for
Baking and Serving
Food with Less Fat
Food that tastes good with less fat!
Bake with less fat
• Replace whole milk in recipes with
lowfat or skim milk, evaporated skim milk or buttermilk.
• When a recipe calls for cheese, use smaller amounts of a
sharp cheese like Parmesan or cheddar, or use lower fat
cheese like part skim mozzarella.
• Decrease the amount of fat in recipes. Start by decreasing
the fat by 1/4. The fat in recipes for quick breads, muffins
and some soft cookies can be decreased by 1/2.
• Replace chocolate and nuts
with raisins or chopped fresh
fruits or canned fruits.
• Replace sour cream with
lowfat sour cream or lowfat
yogurt.
Add less fat to food
Small amounts of these fatty extras can add a lot of fat.
Use these sparingly:
butter, margarine
oil
shortening, lard
cream cheese
non-dairy creamer
sour cream
salad dressing
mayonnaise
bacon grease or bacon
tartar sauce
Sandwiches:
Use mustard, ketchup,
lowfat or non-fat salad
dressing, onion, tomato,
lettuce and sprouts.
Vegetables, soups and dried beans:
Flavor vegetables with lowfat margarine spreads,
onion, garlic, lemon juice, spices, salsa or vinegar.
Flavor soups and bean dishes with a few drops of
liquid smoke, lean diced ham, smoked turkey or
bouillon instead of fatty meats like salt pork or bacon.
Bread, muffins and rolls:
Use jam, jelly, fruit spreads or small amounts of
lowfat margarine or lowfat spreads.
Pasta, potatoes, and rice:
Use lowfat margarine or lowfat yogurt on potatoes.
Cook rice and pasta without adding fat or salt to the
cooking water.

Turkey
Turkey is nutritious, low in cost
and easy to cook.
Follow these instructions:
THAW
Keep turkey cold while thawing. Use one of these methods:
1. No hurry: Thaw in refrigerator. Leave turkey in original
wrapping; place on tray and put in refrigerator. Allow to thaw
for 3-4 days; allowing about 5 hours per pound of turkey to
completely thaw.
2. Fast thaw: Thaw in cold water. Leave turkey in original
wrapping. Cover with cold water in large clean sink. Change
water as often as needed to keep cold. It takes about half an
hour for each pound of turkey to thaw.
Never thaw a turkey on the kitchen counter! Parts of the turkey
could become warm enough for bacteria to grow to dangerous levels.
PREPARE TO COOK
Raw turkey may have bacteria on it. Wash your hands, sinks,
counters, knives and dishes with soap and hot water after working with
raw turkey. Keep raw turkey and its juices away from cooked and
ready-to-eat food. Follow these steps to prepare a turkey for cooking:
1
Remove wrapper from the turkey. Remove the bag of giblets
from inside the turkey.
2. Wash inside and outside of turkey in cold water; drain well.
3. Cut off large pieces of fat.
4. If a meat thermometer is not available, cook stuffing in a
casserole. If you are putting stuffing in the turkey, stuff it
loosely just before putting the turkey in the oven.
COOKING THE TURKEY
The turkey can be roasted in the oven or cooked in water on the
stove. Never partially cook a turkey and finish cooking
later. Use one of the following cooking methods.
In the oven:
1. Preheat oven to 325°.

What can I do to prevent decay
in my baby's teeth?
What causes tooth decay
in babies?
Bacteria that live in your baby’s mouth cause tooth
decay. The bacteria live by eating the sugar your
baby drinks. Sugar is not just in sweetened drinks
and juice, but is also in formula. Tooth decay can
begin when sweet liquids or formula are in your
baby’s mouth for a long time. This can happen
when:
• babies fall asleep with a bottle or spill-proof
cup in their mouth.
• babies carry a bottle or spill-proof cup and
drink from it all day long.
• Breastfeeding is the best
way to feed your baby and
prevent tooth decay.
• If bottle feeding, always
hold your baby when he
or she is drinking from
the bottle.
• Put your baby to bed
without a bottle or spillproof cup.
• Do not put soda, sweetened drinks, fruit
drinks, or fruit juice into your baby's
bottle or spill-proof cup. Your baby does
not need these drinks.
• When your baby is 6 months old he or she
can begin to drink from a cup.
• Slowly decrease use of bottles as your baby
gets close to one year old.

Your Baby:
Bottle Feeding and
Tooth Decay
Tooth decay in babies is serious. A baby can
have painful toothaches and teeth may turn
black and have to be pulled. If teeth are lost
early, a baby can have problems with chewing
and learning to talk. Permanent teeth may
also be damaged as they develop.
El pavo es nutritivo, bajo en costo
y fácil de cocinar.
Siga estas instrucciones:
DESCONGELAR
El pavo debe mantenerse frío mientras se está descongelado. Use uno
de estos métodos:
1. Sin prisa: Descongelar en el refrigerador. Deje el pavo en su
envoltura original y coloque en una bandeja en el refrigerador.

envoltura original y cúbralo con agua fría en el fregadero.
Cambie el agua tantas veces que sea necesario para mantener el
agua fría. El pavo se descongelará aproximadamente una libra
cada media hora.
¡Nunca descongele el pavo en el mostrador de la cocina! Partes del
ave pueden calentarse y alojar bacteria que puede crecer a niveles
peligrosos.
PREPARACION
´
El pavo crudo puede tener bacteria. Lávese las manos, el fregadero, el
mostrador, los cuchillos y los platos con jabón y agua caliente después
de preparar el pavo crudo. Asegúrese de que ni el pavo crudo ni sus

Su bebé: La alimentación
con biberón y las caries
Las caries en los bebés son graves. Es posible que los
bebés tengan terribles dolores de muelas y que sus
dientes se pongan negros y tengan que ser extraídos. Si
un bebé pierde sus dientes prematuramente, esto puede
causar problemas con la masticación y con el aprendizaje
del lenguaje. Los dientes permanentes también se pueden
dañar durante su desarrollo.
¿Cuál es la causa de las caries en
los bebés?
Las bacterias que viven en la boca del bebé causan
caries. Las bacterias viven del azúcar que bebe el bebé.
El azúcar no está solamente en las bebidas endulzadas
o en los jugos sino que también en la fórmula. Las
caries pueden empezar cuando los líquidos dulces o la
fórmula permanecen en la boca del bebé por mucho
tiempo. Esto puede pasar cuando:
¿Qué puedo hacer para
prevenir las caries en los
dientes de mi bebé?
• El amamantamiento es la
mejor manera de
alimentar al bebé y de
prevenir las caries.
• Si alimenta con un
biberón, siempre tome en
brazos al bebé mientras
toma el biberón.
• el bebé se duerme con un biberón o con una
taza entrenadora antiderrame en la boca.
• Acueste al bebé sin un biberón o sin una
taza entrenadora antiderrames.
• los bebés llevan un biberón o una taza
antiderrame en la mano y beben todo el día.
• No ponga bebidas gaseosas o
endulzadas, bebidas de fruta o jugo de
fruta en el biberón o en la taza
antiderrame del bebé. El bebé no necesita
estas bebidas.
• Cuando el bebé tenga 6 meses, él puede
empezar a beber de una taza.
• Disminuya lentamente el uso del biberón a
medida que el bebé se acerca a su primer
cumpleaños.
