Substitute

Members Were Sparked

I crave meat and have found that substituting products like Morningstar meatless bacon satisfies the carnivore in me. I don't binge, but in the morning, a BLT without guilt hits the spot.

MORE INFORMATION:
I crisp the bacon in the microwave to get the crunch.

Cauliflower is my best friend

I tried a recipe where you substituted cooked cauliflower for mashed potatoes and it was wonderful. Now I substitute cauliflower in all my potato recipes. So I thought, why not see what other things I could substitute cauliflower for that would be as good. I now use cauliflower as a substitute for pasta, with a low fat pasta sauce it is every bit as good as spaghetti or macaroni. This saves hundreds of calories and is really good.

MORE INFORMATION:
To substitute for mashed potatoes, just boil up a head of cauliflower, drain and mash. For a pasta substitute cook flowerettes, drain and use your favorite low fat sauces. Top with a bit of Parmesan.4

Oil substitute

A great tasty substitute for oil when doing stir fry or browning meat

MORE INFORMATION:
My husband likes to take 1/2 to 1 whole onion and slowly cook it until it is translucent and there is a good amount of fluid. We like to use his "onion juice" for stir-fry and for browing meat. It tastes great and adds no fat!
