🍗 Meat and Fish: 3-4 ounces, about the size of the palm of your hand.
🫘 Beans, Legumes, and Grains: ½ cup, about the size of your clenched fish.

👩‍🍳 We have a few quick kitchen tips from Treo’s own Registered Dietitian, Jill Woodward MS, RD, CD.

Tip 1: Fresh herbs and dried are not interchangeable 1 to 1 in a recipe. Try substituting one-part dry herbs for three parts fresh.

Tip 2: Slow cookers are excellent tools in the kitchen just remember not to over stuff the crock pot, so the food cooks evenly.

Tip 3: Roasted vegetables taste great, but they won’t roast if you over-crowd the sheet tray. Leave a lot of room around each vegetable to ensure they roast instead of steam.
