Healthful Suggestions

• Trim fats from meats and poultry before cooking.
• The yolk of an egg contains all the fat. Try using one egg yolk with 2 or more egg whites.
• Replace ground beef wherever possible with lean ground turkey.
• Buy products made naturally: Peanut butter, preserves, mayonnaise, and ketchup.
• Pure maple syrup is an excellent substitute for sugar.
• Spend some time reading labels and looking for pure foods and all-natural ingredients.
• Whole grain breads, cereals, flours, and baking mixes are important—they have more fiber.
• Avoid using baking powder that contains aluminum.
• Use canned skim milk in sauces, soups, and other recipes that call for cream.
• Most children love peanut butter—try other natural nut butters for variety.
