| 10 Ways to Use Low Fat Yogurt |
|
Slash fat and calories by using low-fat yogurt in place of sour cream, cream, and mayonnaise in savory dishes. You can use low-fat yogurt in and on desserts, and in all kinds of other recipes, too. Fat-free yogurt, especially nonfat Greek yogurt, which is naturally thick and creamy, can also be used in many recipes, even cooked dishes.

| Blueberry Banana Bread |
| Warm banana bread out of the oven is hard to beat. Warm blueberry banana bread is even more so. This sweet treat is made healthier by using low fat buttermilk and heart-healthy canola oil instead of butter, and replacing a little more than half of the flour with whole wheat pastry flour. Why whole wheat pastry flour? It has less gluten, which makes for more tender quick breads, cakes and muffins, yet it still provides a nice boost of fiber.

| Low Fat Recipes for Mother's Day |
| In my world, there are two Mother's Days: the U.K. one, known as Mothering Sunday, which falls in March, where I remember my mom (actually, "mum"), and the U.S. one, which is on May 13th this year, when my two girls will scurry about semi-furtively, planning some culinary masterpiece. It's been a few years since they proudly served brightly colored cereal drowned in chocolate milk, and burned toast. These days, they've become quite accomplished at making eggs and pancakes from scratch.
If it's your turn to treat mom this year, I have 10 low-fat Mother's Day recipes that should fit the bill, ranging from delicious breakfast or brunch options to dinner and dessert.

| Everyday Grilling |
| It rains a lot in the Pacific Northwest, so some of us don't get outside to use our grills as often as we'd like. Those who have grown up here will grill no matter what the weather, but the rest of us are fair weather grillers. So instead I rely on my handy indoor compact contact grill, which cooks succulent chicken, fish, lean pork, and vegetables in no time at all, with minimal clean up. Get the lowdown on one such grill and see how it helps with low fat cooking.

| Mushroom Risotto |
|
One good way to eat less fat during the course of a week is to switch out one or two meat-based dishes for vegetable-based ones. One such dish could be risotto, so long as you're not too heavy handed with cheese or you dispense with cheese altogether. Contrary to popular belief, risotto is straightforward enough to make, it just needs a little time and attention, something that we're short of in the course of a busy week. Even so, risotto can be on the table in about 30 minutes or so. One of my family's favorite risotto meals is a simple mushroom risotto. Although I specify cremini and shiitake mushrooms in the recipe, feel free to use button mushrooms if that's what you happen to have on hand.
