SOME LOW FAT ALTERNATIVES:
* For low-fat gravy, use a separator (from any kitchen store), cool the gravy so the fat rises to the top and pour the flavorful liquid from the spout at the bottom.
* Use half the amount of high-calorie ingredients like chocolate chips, but use the mini kind, or chop things small, so they go evenly throughout the dish.
* You can remove most of the fat from a can of soup by putting it in the freezer for 10 minutes and scooping the fat off the top.
* To flavor your next batch of rice, without adding lots of calories, cook it in broth.
* The three biggest dietary-fat culprits: salad dressing, margarine and cheese. Aim for low-fat versions of each.
* Peppers, chives, garlic and onions tend to satisfy your taste buds so you eat less.
