Just wanted to remind you about healthier alternatives for your cooking or baking recipes:
1 whole egg can be substituted with 2 egg whites
white flour can be substituted with whole grain flour (rice, barley,millet, buckwheat – basically you can grind any whole grain)
sour cream can be substituted with low fat plain yogurt or low fat sour cream
milk can be substitute with skim, 1% milk or powdered milk
ice cream can be substitute with frozen yogurt
heavy cream (not for whipping) – 1:1 ratio of flour whisked into non fat milk (eg. 1 cup of flour + 1 cup of non fat milk)
whipped cream can be substituted with chilled evaporated skim milk or other low fat whipped products
cheese can be substituted with low-fat cheese (please note: non-fat cheese does not melt well if use in cooking or baking)
margarine can be substituted with butter
butter can be substituted with light butter, vegetable oil or ghee
sugar ( brown or white) can be substituted with date sugar, barley malt, blackstrap molasses, pure raw honey
table salt can be substituted with sea salt
Happy and Healthy Cooking and Baking!!!
Breathe, smile and be happy,
