Tips ‘n’ Techniques
Some tips for healthier menus:
* Reduce and eliminate “empty calorie” foods - such as
soda pop, high sugar desserts with white flour, etc.
* Increase the whole grains, breads, and cereals.
* Increase the fruit and veggies on your plate, this will
crowd out the undesirables.
* Make sauces, gravies, and dressings rich in flavour with
herbs, to make up for the low-fat.
