Today's Cooking Tip
Healthy ingredient swaps
Want to boost the amount of vitamins, minerals and fiber in your recipes? Try some simple substitutions. Use whole-wheat flour for half of the all-purpose flour. Swap iceberg lettuce for arugula or spinach. And trade white rice for brown rice or wild rice. You can reduce fat, salt, sugar and calories without sacrificing flavor with simple ingredient swaps.
