Love Southern-style cooking but hate the calories? Here are some tips to modify recipes from the American Institute for Cancer Research, which recommends a low-fat diet:
- Steam greens just until tender to retain vitamins; toss with a light vinaigrette rather than seasoning them with fatty bacon or ham hocks.- Put apple butter on biscuits instead of butter and jam.
- Use brown rice instead of white to get extra fiber.
- Grill chicken and catfish instead of frying.
