French Fries Or Baked Potato?

Members Were Sparked

French fries drip in ketchup or baked potato with butter or sour cream? My advice choose the baked potato over fried potato. Then try dipping the cut up pieces of the baked potato into ketchup instead of sour cream of butter. You save on fat calories and you are eating healthier by choosing the bake over the fried food! For me this stops the craving for french fries!

Bag of Baby Carrots

When I pack my lunch for work, I make sure I include a zipper bag of baby carrots. They're sweet and crunchy and so good for you. You can dip them in hummus or Greek yogurt or anything other type of healthy dip. You can also substitute celery sticks or green pepper..291

MORE INFORMATION:
It's perfect in lieu of potato chips or french fries. You can also count them as a veggie when you track your nutrition

Aluminum Foil is the ticket!

Whenever I bake chicken or fish, I line the baking dish with foil and spray it with nonstick spray before I put the meat in the dish. Then when its done, I just throw the foil away and give the dish a quick suds and rinse. I save so much time on cleaning up this way!

MORE INFORMATION:
This also works on baking sheets if I'm making homemade french fries or roasted veggies or things like that.
