You can cut down on fat and calories by using cottage cheese instead of ricotta. As a rule, the best cooking oils are those you can see through with olive oil being the best. Anything like shortening is pure fat, don't use it. You can tell it's bad because it's solid white.





Snack on celery sticks, they have negative calories which means the body expends energy trying to digest them. Cucumbers fly under the radar for carbohydrates so they're good and if you have diabetic tendencies, perfect for the diet.





Low fat bread sticks are good when you want something crunchy but not the fat and oils of chips.Recipes for healthy, tasty food?

RecipeZaar and Allrecipes are some great sites for all kind of recipes. They are simple, tasty and are easy on the budget.





My all-favorite however is Epicurious.com. You can set up an acct for free and keep favorite recipes in a 'recipe box'. It is easy to navigate and can be filtered by cuisine, level of expertise, kid-friendly, low carb, etc. You can filter by ingredients that you already have, and the ease of preparation based on the time you have. I am an ok cook (many say great cook..but there is a lot of room for improvements). I like this website best because it offers many exotic dishes that are easy to prepare. I am always looking to find something new.





Happy cooking.

Snacks: Any vegetables. Dried fruit. Nuts. I probably wouldn't go overboard on the druid fruits and nuts. Lately I've been into the Roasted soy beans. Delicious and nutritious!
