Did you know in most recipes calling for egg substitutes, you can use 2 egg whites in place of the equivalent of 1 egg substitute. Just break the eggs open and toss the yolk away. I can hear some of you already saying 'but that is wasteful.' Just look at the cost on the egg substitute package (that usually has equivalent of 4 eggs in it) and then look at the price of a dozen eggs in which you would get the equivalent of 6 egg substitutes. Now, what's wasteful?

Fat Alternative Cooking Tips 

White Sauce 

 A very good white sauce for vegetables and casseroles without using added fat can be made by spraying a saucepan with butter flavored cooking spray. Place 1 1/2 cups evaporated skim milk and 3 Tablespoons flour in a small covered jar. Mix well. Pour into sprayed saucepan and cook over medium heat until thick. Stir constantly. Add salt and pepper to taste. Makes 4 servings. Each serving equals: 3/4 Milk, 1/4 Bread

Sour Cream Alternative

If you put 1 cup of non-fat yogurt in a coffee filter tat you place in a sieve over a small bowl and refrigerate for about 6 hours, you will end up with a very good alternative for sour cream.
