Here's a recipe substitution guide that I picked up from a handout called
Hearty Helpnings. It was distributed by KMOX Radio, MedicareGlaser, and
the Jewish Hospital. It has a list of Lower Fat recipes and this handy
little guide. Hope that it helps with some of the recipes that we post. If
a recipe calls for: Replace it with: . 1 cup
butter 1 cup stick margarine with

two times as much polyunsaturated as

saturated fat . 1 cup shortening 3/4
cup vegetable oil . 1 ounce baking chocolate 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
plus

2 teaspoons vegetable oil . 1 egg 2
egg whites or One fourth cup

commercial cholesterolfree egg

substitute (For cakes, add 1

teaspoon oil.) . 1 cup whole milk 1
cup skim or 1/2% milk (For

cakes, add 2 teaspoons vegetable

oil or margarine.) . 1 cup sour
cream 1 cup plain nonfat yogurt or 1

cup 1% cottage cheese blended

with 3 teaspoons lemon juice or

1/3 cup nonfat yogurt blended

with 2/3 cup 1% cottage cheese

(If used in cooked sauce, add 1

tablespoon flour.) . 1 cup light
cream 1 cup evaporated skim milk . 1 cup cream cheese
1 cup 1% cottage cheese blended

with 4 tablespoons margarine

Thought this might be helpful to those of you who would like to try some of
the recipes, but need less fat. Let us know if you give these suggestions
a try and how it turns out.
