    Low Fat - No Fat Money Savers

    I am all for either saving money or being able to
    use what you have in your pantry/refrigerator when
    preparing meals.

    "MOST egg substitutes are nothing more
    than egg whites with no fat and a little food dye
    added to them. You can make your own by separating
    an egg and being careful not to break the yolk.

    The yolk is the part that has the fat and
    cholesterol in the egg. The white is completely
    fat free, otherwise it would not whip into peaks.

    Another suggestion for "low fat or no fat
    pancake/hot cakes is to simply replace the fat
    with an equal amount of fruit puree. I like to use
    applesauce." Those too can be a pantry item.

    Applesauce is a wonderful substitute for oil in
    cakes or in sweet breads such as banana bread. It
    has the moisture without the oil.

    Also, another "do-it-yourself, save-money type"
    project.... put your favorite cooking oil in a
    spray bottle. Use as a "non-stick" spray when
    cooking. And if you use different flavor oils
    such as olive and sesame, what great tastes to add
    to your grilled foods without the calories.
