Sarah: Hi, Mark! Have you been experimenting with any new cooking techniques lately?
Mark: Hey, Sarah! Yeah, I've been trying to cook healthier meals for my family. Do you have any tips on how to make dishes more nutritious without sacrificing flavor?
Sarah: Absolutely! One of my favorite healthy cooking hacks is to sneak in extra veggies wherever I can. For example, I love adding grated zucchini or carrots to pasta sauces or meatloaf. It boosts the nutritional value without changing the taste too much.
Mark: That's a great idea! I'll have to try that. I've also been trying to cut down on unhealthy fats. Do you have any suggestions for healthier cooking oils?
Sarah: Definitely! Olive oil and avocado oil are great options. They're rich in heart-healthy fats and have a delicious flavor. I use them for sautéing, roasting, and even making salad dressings.
Mark: Awesome! I'll switch to those oils from now on. What about adding flavor without using too much salt or sugar?
Sarah: Herbs and spices are your best friends when it comes to flavoring food without relying on salt or sugar. I always keep a variety of herbs like basil, oregano, and thyme on hand. Plus, spices like cumin, paprika, and cinnamon can add a ton of flavor to dishes without adding extra calories.
Mark: Thanks, Sarah! These tips are really helpful. I can't wait to try them out in the kitchen.
Sarah: You're welcome, Mark! Let me know how it goes. And if you come up with any new healthy cooking hacks, be sure to share them with me too!
