Food Stamps, Women Infants and Children, and Government Food and Nutrition Grants

With the rising cost of food, many families are turning to government assistance for help. If you have never used this financial assistance before,however, it may be difficult to know where to go for eligibility information.

The United States Department of Agriculture website offers information on food stamps (now called the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program or SNAP for short) and Women, Infants and Children (WIC) assistance. You can find  S.N.A.P. food stamp information here; and WIC assistance information here.

For charities in need of government assistance for feeding programs information on government grants for food and nutrition is located here.

Party Food for Supper

I am always looking for easy, inexpensive and creative ways to cook meals for supper.  Then, I frequently use supper leftovers as lunch the next day. 

One of my favorite ideas is chicken salad.  It's a food that I typically associate with bridal showers or baby showers, but it works for a delicious and light meal at home as well.  All you need to create chicken salad is some leftover pre-cooked plain chicken, mayonnaise, some grapes and possibly other ingredients such as nuts.  Mix those together, slap them on some sandwich bread, and voila - your main course is done.  In a matter of minutes you can have a delicious family treat that won't break the bank but will fill your stomachs.

Why not try a party food supper for your next evening meal?
