Kitchen Hint of the Day!
January 7, 2020 at 6:00 AM | Posted in Kitchen Hints | Leave a commentTags: baking, Cooking, Cooking Tips, Dairy, Food, Grilling, Kitchen Hints, Low Fat Recipes, recipes, Reduced Sour Cream, Skim Milk
Eat Healthier, Switch to low-fat dairy…………..
Many dairy products used in cooking and baking are high in fat. You can lower the fat content without compromising taste. Instead of whole milk or half-and-half, pour 1% or skim milk, condensed skim milk, or nonfat half-and-half. Instead of sour cream, try low-fat or nonfat plain yogurt, buttermilk, or even low-fat cottage cheese (you may need to blend it first to make it smooth.)
