Do you view a glass half-empty or half-full? Studies show that
people who focus on positive thinking tend to experience less
daily stress, which in turn, can increase overall health. Optimistic
people also tend to embrace life changes more easily and are
grateful for everything they currently have – instead of focusing
on the things they don’t have.

The perfect opportunity to display your optimism is at family
mealtime. Positive attitudes are infectious – spread it around! If
you gather as a family for breakfast, take a moment to visualize
the day’s success. Those who wake up telling themselves they
will have a good day have a much better chance of doing so. Or,
if you meet up for dinner, make it a daily ritual to discuss three
positive things that happened in each family member’s day. This
way, both children and adults will seek the positives throughout
the day for something to talk about during dinner.
This edition of IGA Family Meals was designed to bring your
family together. With quick and easy recipes and on-the go
meal solutions, there’s no excuse not to eat together. Whether
you’re rooting a child on at a t-ball game, surprising a spouse
at work or packing a weekend picnic, food and family are a
great combination. And remember, positive thinkers practice
gratitude... start by being thankful for the people in your life.

food & family
Family meals aren’t just for holidays –
many families now adjust their individual
schedules in order to enjoy evening meals
together several nights a week. Research
proves that pleasant table talk while
passing plates of nutritious food builds
stronger relationships and brings families
closer together.
The health of your family is affected when
you all eat together. Taking time to plan
and prepare meals that are eaten at home
guarantees a more nutritious diet for
everyone at the table. In some homes, each
family member takes part in the planning,
preparation and serving, so every person
has a stake in the success of each meal.
Here are some ideas to encourage every
person to play a part:
• Choose themes for some meals, such
as Meatless Monday, Festival of Italy
or Taco Night.
• Consult recipes, make a list of
needed ingredients and appoint
a designated shopper.
• Encourage younger children to design
placemats or menus for the table.
• Rotate responsibility for introducing
interesting topics over dinner.
• Take turns clearing the table and
cleaning up after the meal.
In one recent study, nearly half of teens and
parents agreed that during or after dinner is
the best time to talk about personal topics.
Another study shows that teens who eat
frequent meals with their families have
better relationships with their peers, do
better in school, and have fewer problems
with drugs and depression.
Younger children reap benefits from family
meals too. The youngest develop language
skills as they listen to table talk, and older
kids learn the value of taking turns to
share the news of the day. Children of all
ages – and even adults – always appreciate
focused attention and time to laugh
together. Where better to find that than
around the table at home?
IGA understands the importance of family. Take time to strengthen important connections in your family by eating
together at home. Visit www.iga.com for recipes, mealtime themes and other ideas to make the most of your family time!

marvelous minis
Dainty finger sandwiches aren’t just for high tea anymore! These mini
delights are perfect to pack for an on-the-go snack or serve at just about
any occasion including graduation parties, baby showers and more.
Estimate about two to four small sandwiches per person and use cookie
cutters to have fun with the shapes. There’s only one rule of thumb for a
finger sandwich – cut off the crust! Try freezing the bread before cutting
and spreading... this will make it much easier to handle.

meals to go!
Summer’s bounty saves the day when you
want to save time and effort in the kitchen, and
simple dishes featuring fresh vegetables and
fruit make healthy eating easy. After all, who
wants to be stuck in the kitchen on summer
evenings and weekends?
Make-ahead meals are always smart, whether
everyone heads in different directions after
dinner or the family goes out for the day. You
could stop for fast food on the way to the
woods, the lake or the theme park – but you
will save money and eat better if you pack a
cooler with portable, quick-to-fix items such as
Little Italy Pasta Salad (see next page).
This pasta salad tastes as good as it looks, and
provides plenty of protein and fiber as well.
Chicken is another good source of protein
that complements many a dish, so whenever
you fire up the grill, cook some extra chicken
breasts to keep in the freezer.
What could be easier on a summer night than a
big green salad topped with chopped chicken?
Set out a selection of low-fat dressings and
bowls of additional “toppers,” including:
• cherry tomatoes
• sliced hard-cooked eggs
• petite carrots
• pumpkin or sunflower seeds
• crumbled feta cheese
• pitted kalamata olives
• sliced dried figs or dried cranberries
Keeping it vegetarian? Skip the chicken and
add colorful kidney beans, cannellini beans
or garbanzo beans (be sure to rinse canned
beans). Or spread some hummus on a whole
grain tortilla, add sliced bell peppers and
cucumbers, fresh spinach leaves, a tomato
slice or two and some sprouts – then wrap it
and go. The same combination works with pita
pockets, and if you prefer, you can substitute
spicy mustard for hummus.
Another easy option that tastes great at
home or on a day trip is a chopped salad. For
four servings, chop two ripe avocados, two
cucumbers, two bell peppers, two tomatoes,
half a red onion and two cloves of garlic.
Just before serving, combine the ingredients
and add the juice of two fresh limes mixed
with four teaspoons of olive oil. These same
ingredients, mixed with spicy tomato juice,
make a refreshing gazpacho.
Homemade snacks save calories and money,
and they slip easily into pockets, purses and
backpacks. Here are some ideas:
• Make your own cereal “energy” bars.
• Bake breakfast muffins with fresh berries.
• Develop a “family favorite” trail mix.
• Freeze grapes in small plastic bags.
In the mood for a light dessert? Have a big
bowl of fresh fruit salad in the refrigerator
at all times. Add protein by topping the fruit
with yogurt or serving it with cheese wedges
and whole grain flatbread. If your family likes
Greek yogurt, stir in a few sliced apricots (fresh
or canned) and some chopped walnuts, then
drizzle a bit of honey over the top. This sweet
treat packs plenty of nutritional punch.
Concerned that the kids indulge in ice cream
too often? Introduce them to frozen yogurt,
which is lower in calories and available in
many popular flavors. Sorbet is an even better
bet, calorically speaking, and now comes in
chocolate. Frozen sorbet bars (look for mango
and raspberry) will cool down your family on
the hottest of days.

Barbecue is as American as “mom and apple
pie,” but have no doubt, there are fierce
opinions about which region serves the best
barbecue. Geography plays an important role
in determining how we come to favor certain
sauces (sweet, spicy or tangy); how it’s cooked
(over wood or charcoal, in pits or on spits); and
whether it’s served with a bun or plain white
bread. Regional variations all have distinct
flavor and meat preferences, with recipes as
vast as the Texas landscape.
Texas-style barbecue is for the cowboy in the
crowd. Chicken, sausage and pork all take a back
seat to beef brisket. Basic seasonings like salt and
pepper with a sprinkle of cayenne are the norm.
The whole meal is served up on butcher paper
with a cup of beans and white bread.
Memphis barbecue features pulled pork
sandwiches and ribs. The pork sandwich is made
from the pork shoulder that is slow roasted over
charcoal, served either with pulled white meat,
the chopped crispy outer pieces or a
combination of the two. All this is piled on a
hamburger bun and topped with slaw.

beverage on a hot summer day, it’s also
the perfect complement to foods
cooked on the grill. A simple barbecue
sauce consisting of ½ cup catsup to
every cup of Coke has been a longtime
Southern tradition. Try our Super
Barbecue Sauce to top chicken, beef,
turkey, pork or fish... or, the slow-cooked
Saucy Ribs recipe below.
North Carolina barbecue features pork.
The western part of the state prefers pork
shoulder, while the eastern half likes to roast the
whole hog! The pork is cooked over wood or
charcoal and chopped or shredded, guaranteeing
the maximum absorption of the thin vinegar and
hot pepper-based sauce.
St. Louis barbecue uses a special rib cut –
spareribs with the brisket bone removed, but
more often it’s the “pork steak” that distinguishes
the St. Louis style. One method of preparing “pork
steaks” is to slowly grill until done, then simmer,
swimming in a pan of sweet-tangy sauce.

goodtime grillin’
It’s time to put your grilling skills to the test. Boneless, skinless chicken
breasts are one of the easiest things to cook on the grill. They quickly
absorb the flavors of a marinade and don’t take a long time to cook. You
should always marinate meat in a glass, ceramic or stainless-steel container
– never in aluminum, because most marinades contain acidic ingredients.

Carefully brush grill rack with oil. Place
chicken on grill, cover and cook 5 minutes,
brush with glaze and cook another 5
minutes. Turn chicken over and repeat the
same steps. Make sure chicken is cooked,
the juices should be clear. Remove from

the honey
Since the pharaohs ruled ancient Egypt,
honey has been used to sweeten many a
dish, but honey adds far more than tantalizing
taste to barbecue marinades. As chicken cooks
on the grill, the honey caramelizes, resulting
in a crusty brown glaze that locks in both
moisture and flavor.
Composed primarily of carbohydrates and water,
honey is well known as an energy-boosting
food. Honey also contains a variety of flavonoids
and phenolic acids that act as antioxidants. And
honey is a source for the following vitamins and
minerals, all present in small amounts:
• Niacin
• Riboflavin
• Pantothenic acid
• Calcium
• Copper
• Iron
• Magnesium
• Manganese
• Phosphorus
• Potassium
• Zinc
Darker honeys have higher antioxidant content
than lighter honeys. The color of honey, ranging
from pale gold to dark amber, depends on the
nectar of the flower from which the honey was
drawn. Currently there are about 300 different
types of honey in the U.S., with clover, orange
blossom and sage the most common.
According to the National Honey Board, honey
is produced in every state and most countries.
More than 60 percent of U.S. production takes

grill Honey Chicken – instead of swatting at it,
consider a friendly wave and a hearty “thanks.”

Keep in mind “quality counts” and heed these warnings:
• Milk is not a substitute for water, and it may cause diarrhea.
• Raw fish may cause a thiamine deficiency resulting in weakness
and possible seizures.
• Raw liver may cause vitamin A toxicity.
• Raw meat may contain parasites and bacteria causing
physical deformities.

o think of
every member of your household, including your furry
little friends. Unlike humans who require a variety of
foods to achieve nutritional balance, a quality pet food
contains everything your dog or cat needs. A shiny coat,
bright eyes, abundant energy and good digestion all result
from the right food.
• Raw eggs may lead to skin and hair issues.
• And, never give your pet chicken, pork or other meat with
small bones. The bones are likely to splinter, causing mouth
or throat damage.

Month
Look in your local newspaper on May 2, 2010 for Dog
Chow, Puppy Chow & Friskies Brands coupons. Purina
will also be running an On-line Digital National Pet
Month FSI Coupon Event from April 26 – May 17, 2010.
IGA Customers can go to www.PetMonth.com and
print 12 coupons worth a total of $16 good towards
the purchase of 12 different Purina pet food products.
Proper food selection is based on the stage of your pet’s life.
Puppies, kittens and young animals require extra protein,
vitamin and minerals; an older less-active animal may benefit
from a senior formula. Some foods, even though they meet
legal definitions, may contain lesser quality ingredients, not
providing your pet with necessary nutrition.
Pets should be fed at regular times and just enough to
maintain a healthy weight. The urge to add flavor by
supplementing with table scraps should be resisted. Not only
does this interfere with a pet’s digestion, it will most certainly
cause behavior issues.
There is no food that will be the answer for every pet. Just as
humans have unique issues requiring special diets, animals
have distinct needs too.
