Low Fat Cooking Tips and Healthy Baking Substitutions

We all need fat to live. The human brain cannot function without sufficient fats. Many vitamins are exclusively fat-soluble, and would do us no good without it. But when so much of our diet as Americans consists of high-fat foods with little in the way of nutritional value, and “diet” foods fall flat on the palate, how do we find ways to cut back, while still enjoying the great taste we need to feel satisfied?
First thing’s first: start eating at home more often. You can’t control what’s going on in any other chef’s kitchen but your own. But what then? Your shelf is full of old-fashioned cookbooks from before the invention of Splenda. Not to mention those lard- and shortening- filled family recipes handed down from previous generations. You might be surprised to learn that you can, in fact, make Mom’s Famous Double-Chocolate Brownies… and not only that, you can eat them too! All those recipes need is a little updating to the 21st century, and that is easy enough to do, if you know how.
Right, you say, but you don’t know how. You’ve heard of substituting one ingredient for another, but how do you know what works, or how much to use? I’ve laid out below the substitutions I’ve found tried and true in my own kitchen that won’t alter the texture or flavor noticeably, complete with conversions. Print them out, and use them! They won’t do any good on their own, just floating around in cyberspace
List of Substitutions and Tips
Baking
• 1 cup whole milk = 1 cup skim milk
• 1 cup buttermilk = 1 Tbsp vinegar OR 1 Tbsp lemon juice + enough skim milk to make 1 cup
• 1 cup heavy cream = 1 cup evaporated skim milk OR 1/2 cup low-fat yogurt + 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
• 1 cup sour cream = 1 can chilled evaporated skim milk whipped with 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 cup cream cheese = 4 Tbsp margarine + 1 cup dry low-fat cottage cheese (+ a little skim milk if needed)
• 1 cup butter or oil = 2/3 cup applesauce
• 1 egg = 2 eggwhites
Cooking and Snacking
• Use chicken broth to stir-fry instead of oil.
• In place of butter, use non-fat cooking spray to brown.
• Baste roasts with wine or fruit juice.
• Replace bacon with turkey bacon.
• Make sure to use extra lean ground beef for burgers and meatballs, or substitute ground turkey.
• You can get the same taste with less cheese if you get the 2% extra sharp cheddar instead of mild.
• No-Sugar-Added fruit spreads taste more fruity than jam, and are plenty sweet.
• Get tuna packed in water.
• Canned fruits should be packed in fruit juice instead of heavy syrup.

Clark Philippines operates under a slightly set of rules from the rest of the country. There are many advantages but as usual, there are also areas that investors need to be well apprised to avoid unnecessary problems.

Clark Freeport Zone offers many attractive incentives that collectively make it a good business investment opportunity as well as a wonderful choice for semi- or full-retirement. In addition to the tax incentives of a Freeport Zone, Clark has a remarkably good record in terms of crime rate. In fact, there is no recollection of any major crimes inside Clark Freeport Zone at all and even minor crimes are rare and far between. Whereas traffic and pollution are two major deterrents to retiring, living or setting up a business in major cities in the Philippines such as Manila and Cebu, Clark Freeport are not marred by these problems. Clark is blessed by good infra structures left behind by the Americans built when Clark was their largest foreign airbase.

Investors are well advised to obtain legal counseling as the first step of their exploration of investment opportunities in Clark Freeport. Clark Business and Investment Assistance is well experienced to offer this service to would-be investors – called locators. This outfit can also address tax concerns but more importantly helps investors navigate the tricky waters of finalizing a deal.
