Quick Tips~ Healthy Substitutions!


According to the National Cancer Institute, You can still have those GREAT family recipes & meals... but with a few small substitutions and little to no change in flavor or taste... you can change those recipes to HEALTHY family recipes!!!

Instead of High Fat Meats... CHOOSE Lean meats such as round, sirloin, ground turkey, poultry with skin removed, fish, beans and grain dishes.

Instead of Neck Bones ... CHOOSE Skinless Chicken thighs!

Instead of Pork Bacon.... CHOOSE Turkey bacon

Instead of Whole Milk.... CHOOSE Lowfat (1%-2%) or nonfat/skim milk!

Instead of Whole Milk Cheeses... CHOOSE Lowfat or part skim milk cheeses!

Instead of Frying, Basting with fat or Cooking in fatty sauces and gravies TRY Broiling, Steaming, rosting/baking, microwaving, grilling, braising/stewing, boiling, simmering and stirfrying with a little bit of oil (no more than 1-2 teaspoons of oil (olive)!

Taking small steps is a way to getting to a healthy and royal lifestyle!
