Our Lady of Weight Loss\u2019s TOP 13 Cookin’ It Healthy Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Add dried fruits to baked goods.<\/p>\n

2. Substitute applesauce or mashed bananas instead of butter.<\/p>\n

3. Instead of glopping (or is it globbin’?) on the butter, use extra virgin olive oil.<\/p>\n

4. Saute vegetables in vegetable broth.<\/p>\n

5. Skip the heavy salad dressing, squeeze a fresh lemon on your salad.<\/p>\n

6. Make a list of your favorite fruits and vegetables and then seek out recipes!<\/p>\n

7. Get popping! Air popped popcorn is high in fiber and low in calories.<\/p>\n

8. Add veggies whenever possible. To stews, sandwiches, casseroles and salads.<\/p>\n

9. Try more fruit desserts (fresh and stewed; maybe even a low-cal cobbler) instead of cakes and cookies.<\/p>\n

10. Remove deep-fried from your vocabulary! Roast, grill, broil, grill, bake, poach, steam, and stir-fry!<\/p>\n

11. Eat unpeeled fruit! The nutrients are in the peel! (Not bananas, of course!)<\/p>\n

12. Use evaporated skim milk in place of half-and-half. Lasts a lot longer, too!<\/p>\n

13. Create a healthy pantry. Keep canned beans on hand: chick peas (garbanzo), black beans, black-eyed peas, pink bean, pinto beans, red or kidney beans.<\/p>\n
