MAKE IT HEALTHY!

Just wanted to put a word out there about making our dishes as healthy as possible. Obviously, you can use vegetables in your dishes, but here are some other hints to make your dishes healthy:

Use whole wheat pasta
Use organic ingredients whenever possible
Use lean meat or use poulty
Use meat substitutes also
Tomato-based sauces are more heart healthy than creamy sauces
Use Olive oil or Canola oil instead of butter or other types of oil
Use 1% milk or skim in your recipes

These are just some tips to help us make our meals more healthy. If anyone else has any more suggestions, please post them!
