PERFECT DIET COOKING TIPS

Here are some cooking tips to help with your perfect dietary planning:

Low-Fat Supplies - -Keep these on hand. Butter-flavored low-fat vegetable cooking sprays are out there. So is apple sauce in place of some oil in recipes. Also keep the following handy: lemons, limes, your favorite fresh herbs and spices, evaporated skim milk, cornstarch, plain non-fat yogurt, flavored vinegar, and onions.

Substitute – Check recipes and ingredients and where applicable, cut fat and calories by using:

      · Fat-free or reduced-calorie versions

      · Skim milk, 1 percent or 2 percent milk for whole milk

Cooking Skills - - Hone in on or learn how to:

· Sauté, as with vegetables in water or broths.

· Use coking sprays or nonstick cookware.

· Cook in foil or parchment paper to seal in juicy flavors

· Trim fat from meats

· Stir-fry, bake, roast, poach, microwave, steam and broil

· Experiment with seasonings (herbs, spices)
