NOTES:
There isn't much meat in these menus. That's because meat is expensive and beans aren't. Beans provide lots of good protein for growing children and hard working adults. When beans are combined with certain other foods their protein increases. The amino acids in grains like flour, pasta and cornmeal or milk products cooperate with the amino acids in the beans to make an extremely high quality protein. Don't worry about the lack of meat, there is more protein in this menu than you can shake an expensive protein bar at. The milk may seem overpriced to some, but it is vital for growing children and mom's who are pregnant, nursing or who may become pregnant. It is also very high in protein especially when combined with grains or beans (see above). Orange Juice is served every morning but Saturday. The plan assumes 4 servings of 1/2-cup each for every morning it's served. Orange Juice supplies Vitamin C and Folic Acid, once again, necessary for pregnant mothers and growing children. In the recipes that call for buttermilk use regular reconstituted milk soured with a tiny bit of vinegar. This works just as good as buttermilk in cooking. For the recipes that call for dried onion, substitute a small amount of finely chopped fresh onion. For the recipes calling for fresh garlic, substitute a small amount of garlic powder instead.
