salutary Food Substitutes

With trying to enhance on our healthy eating, I've been making healthy substitutions a lot in the last 6 months. My beloved is substituting oil for applesauce. This works great in recipes such as pancakes or waffles. You can substitute all or half of what is called for in the recipe. Here are some more substituting ideas.

Replace sweet potatoes for pumpkin Replace shortening for butter Replace butter with canola or olive oil Replace white flour for wheat flour. 1/2 wheat and 1/2 white works the best but you can experiment separate ratios to your preference. Use carob for chocolate. Add pureed baby pears in place of oil. Add pureed beans in place of oil. Use cocoa instead of chocolate chips. Use plain yogurt in place of sour cream. Replace nut butters for butter or spreads. For buttermilk use 1 Tablespoon lemon juice and add milk to equal 1 cup. Substitute cottage cheese with plain yogurt or sour cream.
