Cook the Low Fat Way:
Seasonings & Condiments

Use small amounts of lean meats to flavor vegetables while cooking, instead of salt pork or fat back.
Flavor cooked vegetables with herbs or butter-flavored seasoning instead of butter or margarine.
Use herbs, spices, and no-salt seasoning blends to bring out the flavor of foods. Use salt sparingly in cooking and stop using the salt shaker at the table. Limit salty condiments like olives and pickles.


Seasonings & Condiments -- TRY IT!
Check off one of these things to try. Do it today!
I'll try cooking greens with turkey thigh meat instead of salt pork.
For flavor, I'll sprinkle lemon juice and dill on green beans after I cook them.
For tomorrow night's dinner, I'll try skinless chicken with tomatoes, rosemary, and peppers.
