You could pick up an interesting new fruit during your next grocery run, or talk with a vendor at your nearest farmer's market about a fun vegetable to try. Find out what's fresh, tasty, and in-season at http://healthymeals.nal.usda.gov/features-month/whats-season. You can also talk with your dietitian about which new foods might be best for you.Healthify Your MenuGive your weekly menu a health boost! Consider substituting a few ingredients in one of your favorite recipes to improve the nutrient profile of your meal. Or try one new and balanced recipe per week. You can "healthify" your menu without having to think twice!For smart ingredient substitutions, try...

• Replacing butter with a neutral oil. Yes, the calorie count will be similar, but the unsaturated fats in oils are way better for your heart than the saturated fat in butter.
• Switching in egg whites for whole eggs.
• Using fresh herbs and spices to flavor foods instead of using salt. Vinegar or lemon juice can add oomph to a dish too.
• Choosing lean ground meats instead of traditional ground beef. If you're going for ground poultry, try ground chicken breast without the skin.

For cooking inspiration, try...

• Mixing things up with one new and healthful dish per week. You never know when you might find your next home run meal!
• Getting recipes from an online healthful cooking database like http://foodandhealth.com/recipes.php.
