In the Kitchen

• Splashing store-bought dressing on your salad? Make your own salad dressing with oil, vinegar and spices.
• Cooking with margarine? Use canola or vegetable oil instead.
• Adding salt to the pot? Season with herbs and spices instead.
• Eating canned vegetables tonight? Give them a rinse first.
• Making a curry? Add curry powder or spices rather than a curry sauce.
• Cooking Thai? Use unsalted peanut butter, fresh garlic and ginger rather than a sauce mix.
• Making sandwiches? Cook extra meat, fish and poultry to use instead of processed cold meats.
