3. Swap white pasta and white rice for brown rice and whole wheat pasta.
4. Reduce the amount of cheese called for in the recipe by half.
5. Use leaner versions of meat, such as extra lean ground beef or turkey. Or, substitute chicken or turkey breast in place of beef.
6. Go veggie! Try a healthy vegetarian stew or all bean crockpot chili- veggies and beans are very filling!
7. Use lower sodium tomato sauces and broths.

9. Reduce the meat and add veggies! Try carrots, bell peppers and corn in chili, or squash and mushrooms in enchiladas. Another example is right in this issue, where we take beef stroganoff and make it veggie!
