From the Modern Family Cookbook

The Meal Planner’s Creed

The health of my family is in my care; therefore–

I will spare no effort in planning the right kinds of food in the right amounts.

Spending the food dollar for maximum value is my job; therefore –

I will choose from the variously priced foods to save money without sacrificing health.

My family’s enjoyment of food is my responsibility; therefore–

I will increase their pleasure by planning for variety; for flavorful dishes, for attractive color, for appetizing combinations.

My family’s health, security, and pleasure depend on my skill in planning meals; therefore–

I will treat my job with the respect that is due it.
