Now you guys out there..I am not a chief. HOWEVER I have been trying to do some easy recipes this summer that are good and fattening to go along with Health and Happiness project.
I came a cross some hints on what to do with recipes that would help slice off some of the calories.
Saute with low sodium veg broth instead of soy, butter, or even oil. On veggies and or salad pour small amount of olive oil over the greens.
NO SKIN, no skin...The skin contains unhealthy saturated fats. It is alright to cook with the skin on but take it off before serving.
Citrus adds a punch without many calories. Squeeze onto veggies, salads and seafood.
Cheese...by using a stronger cheese, one Can use less., Try a soft cheese in eggs or noodles.
GO Creek..Fat-free Greek yogurt can replace sour cream for dips or even as a thickening agent
.
Puree..not real fond of this process but articles say reduces calories when you puree veggies to add to sauces.
Cottage cheese You can substitute half low cottage cheese for feta or ricotta. Adds protein and calcium without the fat.
Cut the cream..Half and half for heavy cream in creaming coup and pasta dishes.
Be creative to find the right combos and cut the fat, the salt and of course the calories.
Have and be happy!!
