A little something to help all of us during the time of year fast approaching of over indulgence and unhealthy eating habits....
Use two egg whites instead of one whole egg.
Try dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, dates, plums) in place of nuts.
Replace baking chocolate with three tablespoons of cocoa powder and one tablespoon of canola oil.
Reduce the amount of sugar in baked goods by one-quarter to one-half.
Use evaporated skim milk in recipes that call for whipping cream.
Substitute an equal amount of applesauce for at least half the oil in muffins, brownies, or quick breads like banana bread or cranberry bread.
Use low-fat yogurt or cottage cheese instead of mayonnaise and sour cream in dips.
Cook stuffing with chicken or vegetable stock instead of oil, butter, or margarine.
Top casseroles with almonds instead of fried onion rings.
Choose reduced-fat cheeses for salads and casseroles.
Make a low-fat crust for pumpkin pie with 1 cup of Grape Nuts ® and ¼ cup apple juice concentrate.
