Recipes and cooking commentary with a touch of humor.

Welcome to lizzycooks!

I love to cook. I collect recipes and cookbooks, enjoy food photography, and adore trying new restaurants. All of this food love inspired me to start this blog where I share my favorite recipes, cooking tips, and other fun stuff. Enjoy your food!

Lower Fat Dairy

I think these are great tips and easy to implement into your daily cooking and baking routine.  Both fat free and low fat sour cream, yogurt, and milk are used on a regular basis in the lizzycooks kitchen.

In baking, use plain fat-free or low-fat yogurt or fat-free or low-fat sour cream.  Another way to decrease the amount of fat and calories in your recipes is to use fat-free milk or 1% milk instead of whole or reduced-fat (2%) milk. For extra richness, try fat-free half-and-half or evaporated skim milk.
