Cooking Tip: Reducing the amount of fat, sugar or salt
In most recipes you can cut back on the amount of fat, sugar or sodium in the recipe. Generally, I have reduced the amount of each by 1/3 and the recipes have always tasted delicious. For example, if a recipe calls for 1 stick of butter, I use 2/3 stick. In addition, by reducing the amount of cheese or using a low-fat alternative, you can still make great recipes with less fat and calories. Note: If making bread or something that requires yeast, be sure to use the recommended amount of salt.
For you VEGAN phobes out there, just because something is vegan doesn't mean there is something weird in there (necessarily!). Plenty of foods don't contain animal products and you don't even know it. Give these recipes a try!
