Healthy Cooking, recipe modifications?
Monday 18 January 2010I’m looking for tips and tricks in modifying recipes to make them low-fat and low-calorie. Thanks :]
common things to do are replace oils with applesauce in baked goods like muffins or cakes, use egg whites to bake with, instead of whole eggs. Use Splenda baking mix in baked items where you have to add sugar, it’ll cut calories in half.
Replace butters with olive oil in cooked foods, and saute veggies with a light cooking spray like PAM olive oil. Bake instead of fry; fish and chicken. Use "butter" spritzers instead of a whole pat.
Cut out using all processed condiments like ketchup or sauces. Experiment with different flavors of vinegar (I like raspberry). Stay away from rice, pasta, potatoes, corn, and carrots- they’re all high in starchy sugars. Eat more cauliflower (you can boil and mash it as a potato substitute) cabbage, spinach, wax beans, mushrooms, and peppers. Learn to love spices, try different mixes of them from specialty stores, like pesto mixes from the Italian stores, or 5 Star powder from Asian stores.
