Wegmans Food Markets, a supermarket chain with stores in several East-coast states, is debuting its “Mix-and-Match Meal Guide” designed to aid busy and health-conscious consumers, according to a company press release.

"We know most customers aren’t looking for a total meal makeover at home, but many would welcome practical help with meal planning and organizing shopping lists—a chore that many busy families find challenging," Wegmans nutritionist Kirby Branciforte said in the release.

Beginning with suggesting a few small snacks, the plan progresses through several categories to give buyers meal plans that fulfill the "Dietary Guidelines for Americans," as well as the eating principles of a Mediterranean diet. The "Mix-and-Match Meal Guide" is located online, and consumers can purchase the guide directly on the Wegmans website.

"t’s summer, when all of us welcome easy, relaxed routines," said Branciforte. "We think the ideas in this guide can help families make the most of the season, with everyday meals that are delicious and support good health. Spend less time shopping and prepping, and more time out on the patio."
