The Basics



Trying to cut calories out of your meals can be as easy as substituting a couple ingredients. Here are a couple of the standard subs you'll find in my recipes:






In baked good (mostly breads, waffles etc)



Recipe calls for: whole eggs



Substitue: 2 egg white for each whole egg






Recipe calls for: Oil



Substitute: Unsweetened applesauce



**this is mainly for quick breads,...don't try this in cookies or you'll be sadly dissapointed






Recipe calls for: milk, cream cheese or sour cream



Substitue: Non-fat milk, non-fat or light cream cheese and non-fat sour cream






You'll find lots more substitutes as I post, but these are the stand-bys that I always use and they make a huge difference! Enjoy and play with the recipes to suite your taste!
