Barb went on a diet last year and dropped almost 100 Pounds...That weight got packed on due to my cooking and her only eating 1-2 times a day...I didn't beleive in substitutions IE low fat cheese,skim milk, LITE BEER ect...ect
For me It was real cream, cheese,whole milk you know the drill...But I was blessed with a high metabolism and able to burn off the cholesteral So I could eat whatever whenever I wanted with no ill effects...ANY WAY
A few things that I have adapted
Greek yogurt instead of Sour cream...If you toss a little oregano, basil, Onion, and Garlic powder in it 99% of people I tested it on couldn't tell the difference between that and sour cream as a condiment on their food...
Salads...I still will not eat Lite salad dressings YUK YUK YUK It's Bleu cheese for me or I aint eating that damn rabbit food...Just kidding I love salads but they do have to have a good dressing, I make My B/C from scratch using a 50/50 mix of the Greek yogurt and mayo instead of all mayo. Buttermilk, Ranch seasoning mix, Resaraunt grade not the packets, plus extra garlic,onion, Spec pow, and parsley flakes... but I do add almost 1/4 by volume Bleu cheese..I know this doesn't sound real healthy But tastes way better and I use only about 1/2 as much as I did with the store bought stuff and am satisfied
One thing I think alot of people overlook in salads is the greens themselves... Kale, Spinach, and Romain lettuce are so much better for you than iceburg lettuce...Cellery, Tomato, Onions, and carrots are my favorite additions if your a bacon bits fan they take care of the chew thing that baco's (Chopped lean B.B Bacon for us) used to add to it...
Sorry my finger stiffened up.. More later if anybodys interested
