Make any recipe lower in fat/calories

One of the things I learned when I was losing weight was to simply replace high fat items with the low/non-fat equivalent.  For example, if a recipe uses sour cream, simply use fat free sour cream.  It really doesn’t taste that much different once you get used to it.  We now use fat free sour cream on potatoes or for dip recipes.  Cheese is another possibility.  Reduced fat cheese is great for recipes.  If you eat it enough, you will get used to the taste.  There are many butter substitutes on the market that taste just fine but contain much less fat that butter or margarine.  Make a game for yourself to look at a recipe and see what ingredients can be switch with a lower fat version.  Don’t forget to shop at www.totalpotsandpans.com/potsandpans.html for all your cookware needs to make your recipes.
