Here are two food substitutions that I use regularly. The first is extremely simple and easy to
have on hand at all times.
Instead of using oil, cooking sprays, and butter or
margarine when you are frying up foods in a skillet, I use lime juice. This works particularly great with chicken
and vegetables no matter how you are going to use them. The lime gives the food extra flavor and
enhances the meal altogether. I use
either lime juice in the bottle or I keep fresh limes on hand. This not only keeps your meal healthier, it
is actually good for your pots and pans.
Did you know that using cooking sprays and olive oil are not good for
your pans and leaves a hard to clean film on them? But, if I am making something in the way of
pancakes or grilled cheese, I do stick to old fashioned butter.
Another interesting food substitute that can be found at a
whole food type grocery store is almond cheese.
Yes, seriously, almond cheese.
And I have to say, it’s actually pretty good. I have thus far tried the mozzarella and jack
cheese varieties and have enjoyed them thoroughly. The cheese is able to melt as well and has been
used in the forms of cheese and crackers with a glass of wine to grilled cheese
and tomato soup. Be mindful that it is a
softer version of a cheese and is a little more difficult to grate, but still
is versatile. So if you are trying to
avoid dairy or wanting to cut down on your dairy intake, this is truly a great
alternative.
