Inspirations - Enlightened Main Dishes
The road to lighter fare begins with
some easy planning at home and
good decisions in the grocery
aisles. Start by thinking like a chef,
and plan your meal around the center of
the plate — the protein focus. You can
take a bit of the guesswork out of healthy
planning by starting with Taste of Inspirations ® lean meats, poultry, and seafood.
If the main protein starts out lean, it’s easier
to keep the menu light with only a few
basic ingredients and some good cooking
techniques. Our Inspirations line offers
many easy and creative ways to eat satisfying,
good-for-your-heart (and thighs and
tummy) fare.
There are a few pantry items that
will help you make lighter fare as easy as
everyday fare. Be sure to keep low-sodium,
fat-free canned broth at home to make an
impromptu soup or stew. Salt-free spice
rubs are essential for appetizing, easy
marinades for lean cuts of meat, and are
also good for seasoning vegetables. Make
sure you have plenty of frozen vegetables
at the ready. To pack a flavor punch with
no added fat or sodium, keep a variety of
vinegars and mustards, as well as lemons
and limes, on hand. |
