Subj: Low Fat Hints                  Conf: (37) Home Cooki
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've seen several messages lately requesting low fat recipes.  Unfortunately,
there are very few magically delicious low or no fat recipes.  I feel
it's better to learn to cook the things we love and substitute or alter
ingredients slightly to make it low fat. The possibilities are endless.  Here
are some substitutions I have had good luck with.

Substitute:
* applesauce for 1/2 the oil in muffins and cakes
* 1 egg white for 1 egg in recipes calling for more tham 1 egg
* cottage cheese for ricotta cheese (be sure to get low or no fat c. cheese)
* plain unflavored yogurt for sour cream (again, low fat yogurt, 1%)
* equal parts low fat milk and evap. skim milk for cream
* chicken stock or wine for butter or oil when sauteeing (stir often)

The magically delicious low fat recipes are really not magic at all.  They
simply consist of natural ingredients that are already low or no fat, such as
vegetables, fruits, grains and LOTS of spices and flavorings.  I do know 1 or
2 magically delicious low fat recipes which I will post later.
