ANN HANCOOK Area Extension Agent In recent months shifting food prices, especially .those at the meat counter, have left many consumers wondering if they are using their food money wisely. The price of meat, poultry and fish have increased slightly more than other major groups of food over ithe past two years. Even soT' prices of food for home use increased less on the whole than prices of other goods and services. The fiomemaker who wants to cut her food budget will need to select meat carefully. She can replace expensive meats with inexpensive ones or with meat alternates such as eggs, dry beans, and peas, peanut butter and cheeses. These foods are suitable replacements for meat because they also provide protein, B vitamins and minerals. Dry beans and peanut butter are best buys for the amount of protein they supply. Canned bean soup and eggs are also among the Jtest buys. A three ounce serving of cooked meat, poultry or fish provides approximately 20 grams of protein. The following amounts of meat alternates also supply twenty grams of protein; four and one half tablespoons of peanut butter, three ounces of American process cheese and three eggs. The price per pound of a particular cut of meat is unrelated to the nutritional value of the meat. Hamburger pound for pound is just as nutritious as porterhouse steak. Tenderness, ease of {reparation and popularity influence the prices. In the summer time, roasts are cheaper because everyone wants steak to cook on the grill. The homemaker who has the time to prepare the less tender cuts of meat can save several dollars each week. And by using meat tenderizers, moist heat cookery and meat marinades, the less tender cuts become completely acceptable. Beef Roll-Ups Six cube steaks, 1 teaspoon salt, V 4 teaspoon pepper, % cup low calorie French Dressing, IV2 cups shredded carrots, % cup finely chopped onion, % cup finely chopped green pepper, % cup chopped celery, V\ cup water, 6 slices bacon. Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper. Marinate meat in dressing for 1 hour at room temperature. In a saucepan simmer the vegetables in the water until tender (7-8 minutes). Drain. Drain steaks. Place onethird cup vegetable mixture on each steak. Wrap bacon around each and secure with a tooth pick. Grill or broil 3” to 4” from heat 20 to 25 minutes, turning occasionally.
