#1 Limit meat to 3 or 4 oz (85-115 g) per serving. Buy lean cuts and trim all visible fat before cooking. Go for the extra-lean ground beef, or choose a lean cut and ask the butcher to grind it for you.

#3 Refrain from buying pre-based turkey. They’re often injected with coconut oil, butter, and other unhealthy fats.
#4 Bake, grill, broil or roast meat, fish, and poultry. Utilize a... Read Full Story

Whenever I think of the holiday season, the first memory that comes to my mind is the beautiful aromas that filled our kitchen when my mother started baking. From early December, she was busy making all sorts of treats, including crumbly vanilla crescents, delicate sponge balls, and feather-light meringues.

This lobster potpie, adapted from Ina Garten's potpie recipe that appears in her first book, The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook , is a perfect example. It's just Ina's style to take a homespun, comfort food like chicken potpie and raise it to the next level. I think her decadent version, made with lobster... Read Full Story
