Bad Foods Off Limits?
Are your favorite foods off limits? Not necessarily.
No foods are actually good or bad, but there are ways to make some foods
a little better:
1. Use some simple ingredient substitutions.
2. Try healthier cooking methods -
opt for steamed, broiled, baked, roasted, grilled, microwaved or stir-fried.
3. Add herbs and spices instead of
sauces and glazes for flavor without fat.
4. Use pureed, cooked vegetables in
the place of cream, butter and egg yolks to thicken soups or dressings.
In baked goods, substitute pureed fruit for butter, lard or other oils.
5. Cut the amount of sugar
that a recipe calls for by at least 25%.
