Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our recipes.
How can I make special occasion meals healthier without sacrificing taste?
Focus on whole, unprocessed ingredients, incorporate colorful vegetables, use herbs and spices for flavor, and opt for cooking methods like grilling or roasting instead of frying. Small substitutions like Greek yogurt for cream can make a big difference.
What are some healthy alternatives to traditional special occasion ingredients?
Try cauliflower rice instead of white rice, use natural sweeteners like maple syrup or dates in desserts, substitute Greek yogurt for heavy cream, and choose lean proteins like fish or turkey instead of fattier meats.
Can I prepare healthy special occasion meals in advance?
Yes! Many healthy dishes can be prepped ahead. Marinate proteins overnight, prepare vegetable sides in advance, and make healthy desserts that actually benefit from sitting for a day to develop flavors.
