- Turkey instead of chicken sometimes. Use in casseroles, crock pots or anytime a recipe calls for chicken.
- Tuna steaks instead of salmon. Tuna has a more mild taste and a nice texture for grilling. Best cooked rare but doesn’t have to be.
- Substitute kale for spinach once in a while. Kale has a nice, earthy flavor. Try in lasagna and casseroles.
- Quinoa instead of rice for a change. Quinoa is a healthy whole grain, higher in protein.
- Side of barley instead of rice, potatoes or pasta.
- Parsnips instead of carrots. Parsnips are a great addition to fall menus. They add a rich flavor to the plate.
- Instead of green beans, try sugar snap peas. Saute’ in olive oil and kosher or sea salt.
- Fresh herbs instead of dried.
- Honey instead of sugar or jelly.
- Baked or mashed sweet potatoes instead of regular Idaho or red skins. Better flavor, better for you.
