More New Directors!Yes- we need more newer directors to keep chefkugler from being lonely here.
I'm sure we'll get plenty as word gets out about our site and others from CS promote.
 
I thought a thread on tricks or tips you use to lighten up your favorite recipes would be fun. What do you do to reduce the fat/calories/carb content in your favorite recipes? How do you boost the nutritional value?
 
Honestly, I don't do much to lighten up already-created recipes.
But I do always add fresh or steamed vegetables to dinner. I also use healthier carbs such as cous-cous, whole grain pasta and red potatoes.
 
We don't eat very much junk food so I don't worry about it. If I want to lighten up, I usually just take a smaller portion. We also eat a lot of veggies.
 
We eat a lot of organic but that just means it's healthier and not necessarily lighter. LOL! I agree with Linda, smaller portions.

BTW, most "diet" foods are extreemly unhealthy for you and the chemicals in them actually make you fatter.

I agree! I'd much rather have less of an item that I really like than to pig out of something that doesn't taste as good.
 
For something that isn't going to be missed (ie. light sour cream), I use it. I use light sour cream, cream cheese, anything that will be mixed with something else. When it comes to tasting something like real cheddar, a small bit of the good stuff goes a long way. Sometimes it helps to trick yourself like shredding the cheese with a microplane to make it fluffy and look like more. For baking, I can usually trade out my applesauce (picked the apples myself and made sauce with no sugar - let me know if you want to know how.) for the oil. That just works in cakes and cake like brownies where you don't need the oil properties.
 
Absolutely! As a Pampered Chef consultant, I am always excited to see new directors join our team. Not only does it bring fresh ideas and perspectives, but it also helps to spread the word about our amazing products and business opportunity. I know that with more directors on board, we will continue to grow and thrive as a company. Plus, having a supportive community of directors is so important for our success. So, let's welcome all the new directors with open arms and continue to "lighten up" our recipes and our business!
