Keeping Your Recipes Healthy

Posted by Mike | May 5, 2008 .

When cooking, how often do you substitute an ingredient because you realize that you don’t have it? I typically make sure I have all of the ingredients before I cook a meal or bake a dessert, and if I don’t have an ingredient, I don’t make the item!

Let’s take an example: Jane is making a low-fat cheesecake recipe that she found. However, she realizes that she picked up regular cream cheese instead of low-fat, so she uses that instead. She also decides to use regular sour cream instead of low-fat. Before you know it, Jane substitutes regular fat products instead of low-fat–and her recipe is no longer low in fat. Although this might sound silly–and you may think “I’d never do that!”, be cautious when you are cooking and try not to substitute high fat for those low-fat items.
