DINING OUT TIP

*Swap the slice of cheese on your burger for a small side of grated cheese. You will use less to jazz up your patty.

COOKING SWAP :)

*Swap whole-wheat flour instead of white flour*

TIP Replace half the white flour with whole-wheat to sneak in heart-healthy grains without altering taste. (Use white whole-wheat flour for delicately flavored goodies like angel food cake or sugar cookies.)

COOKING SWAP :)

*LOWFAT PLAIN YOGURT instead of BUTTERMILK*

TIP Use the same amount of yogurt as you would buttermilk to cut back on saturated fat and sodium. Greek yogurt can also replace sour cream in dishes that aren't heated, like chilled soups or creamy dips.
