10 Tips to make your Soul Food Healthy:

ï           When baking breads, substitute plain white flour with whole wheat flour 

ï           Heavy and whipping cream should be replace with evaporated skim milk or one part milk/cream 

ï           If a recipe calls for whole milk instead use 1% or fat free milk 

ï           Get rid of regular cheese which should be replaced by low fat or part skim cheese 

ï           Instead of using the whole egg, substitute two egg whites for each egg called out in your recipe 

ï           Replace that fattening ham hock and fat back with smoked turkey 

ï           Canadian and turkey bacon make for great substitutes for fatty bacon and sausage 

ï           Canola and olive oils are good replacements for butter, lard and fatback 

ï           When cooking baked goods replace unhealthy cooking oils with applesauce 

ï           Instead of pouring on the salt use herbs and spices
