HEALTH TIP
 
Healthier recipes? Delete 1 ingredient
Did you know that you don't have to use every ingredient in a recipe? Leaving out an ingredient can be an easy way to decrease the calories, fat or sodium without diminishing the flavor. In baked goods, for example, try omitting extras such as coconut or nuts.
