Turkey Day Healthy Ideas for Food

Substitutes for Potato 1. Kale (green veggie) Chips - Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with chili powder, cumin powder, black pepper, and bake 350 for 10 minutes 2. Carrot Chips - Slice the long way, very thin strips. Drizzle with olive oil and bake 350 for 10 minutes 3. Radish "hash browns" - Saute sliced radishes and onions. Use mustard seed, cumin seed (1/4 tsp each) and salt/pepper. Can serve with omelettes or other dishes. 4. Instead of potatoes use cauliflower, sweet potato and mashed. I also seperately saute in about a tablespoon of oil on medium - low heat, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, urad dal, curry leaves, green chilies and add at the end dried coconut before putting this spiced infused oil in the mashed veggies and mixing it well. Other ideas.... Bean Sprout Pasta Stir-fry bean sprouts, mushrooms and onions, making a faux pasta. Top with fat free spaghetti sauce and low fat parmesan cheese. Try this -- it's almost as good as real pasta! Other Common Subsitutes Saute Veggies in chicken (or vegetable) broth instead of oil. You'll add flavor with almost no calories. When baking, use applesauce instead of oil in your recipes. It cuts lots of fat. Fat free yogurt can be used instead of sour cream in dips, on potatoes and in recipes. Then bye-bye, Flab!
