Rethinking Meat and Potatoes

mashed-potatoes-.jpg
Looks like there's going to be a lot more potatoes and a lot less meat piled on those holiday plates this year. According to a Foodmarket News, in a speech to the Kansas Livestock Association Randy Blach, industry expert, reported the largest per capita decline in meat consumption since 1982. Bad news for them, means opportunity to others.

What I mean is, low cost, high nutrient content products rejoice... Now is your time to shine! Whole grains, beans, sweet potatoes, you know what I mean. American is primed and ready for recipes with your name on them. They simply can't live on pasta and potatoes alone.

Develop family friendly entrees that take them though the tough times and catapult your product to comfort food status. Circulate them through point of sales materials or websites like Taste of Home. Remember, when the budget bounces back, comfort never looses its cache.
