Thanksgiving Tips and Recipes
Whether hosting a dinner party or bringing your favorite dish to a potluck, these tips will help you factor healthy choices into your recipes. You can make some easy swaps to keep your cooking time the same while switching up your recipes. Here are a few ways to get started:
- Depending on your recipe, you can substitute margarine or vegetable oil for butter to decrease the amount of saturated fat. Some fats are good! But too much can negatively impact your cholesterol.
- Steam your vegetables so that they retain more of their nutrients. Avoid cooking them in large amounts of oil or butter, too!
- Replace white flour with whole-grain flour when you’re baking. One small change can make your baked goods healthier without affecting that delicious flavor!
