You don't have to go to cooking school to be a creative cook. Try the tips below for creative, healthy, delicious meals.
-
Get fruity. Baking or stewing apples with just a little bit of sugar and cinnamon can make an excellent dessert.
-
Get stocked. Freeze soup and stock to use later.
-
Get fresh. Make it a goal to taste at least one new fruit or vegetable a month.
-
Get ethnic. Look for recipes from other countries and cultures.
-
Get soaked. Try a low-sodium marinade of lemon juice with herbs and spices.
-
Get rubbing. Rub herbs and spices into meats, poultry, and fish before cooking.
-
Get zesty. Create a sauce or a marinade with a citrus accent.
-
Get tangy. Just the right amount of lemon or lime juice or vinegar adds zip in place of salt.
-
Get the corkscrew. Try adding a quarter cup of wine to the liquid or sauce of your next stew or casserole.
-
Get low. Prepare low-fat muffins and quick breads by substituting the butter or oil for applesauce or nonfat Greek yogurt in your favorite recipe.
