Frequently what will happen to people is that you go out to dine, only to realize the meal you're about to eat is the most artery-clogging dish you could actually eat. Many who face this fact will simply go ahead and eat the scrumptious, grease-coated burger or Alfredo sauce brimming with fat. Now you can transform these dishes into healthy restaurant recipes.
When you're out, you can ask your server if your cook can turn the old standards into healthy restaurant recipes, but you are risking it. That is, if the chef is in a "mood" for whatever reason, you could be getting a little more than you bargained for in the end...or you will be outright rejected. You should go ahead and get the recipe online and make it yourself.
One of the easiest ways to turn these favorite recipes into healthy replacements is to broil any meat. This beats cooking on the grill, where the meat is usually left full of its own blood and dripping grease, or being fried. Try broiling, and also avoid overloading the butter. You can get the buttery taste with just a little pat of butter, but more will only hurt your arteries.
One other culprit that makes our restaurant experience unhealthy is how potatoes are prepared. You don't need to have the mashed or baked potatoes coated with butter and sour cream. Instead, you can use alternative toppings, such as low-fat sour cream and using low-fat butter alternatives. You shouldn't skimp on taste, but you should be willing to cut out the unnecessary "killer" ingredients.
Surely you love the sauces at your favorite restaurants, or the gravies that you've really enjoyed, but these are known for their unhealthy qualities. You don't need to dump the sauces or gravies altogether, but you'll need to limit the amount you eat. Rather than cover your plate in these sauces, you ought to use a reduced amount and place that in its own container, off to the side. Use it to dip instead of coat your food.
When you get to the salad, notice that the healthy restaurant recipes don't soak the greens with gallons of fatty dressing. Though salad is great for you, the dressing is horrible for your body! A little bit goes a long way. Or, better yet: replace your dressing with the low-fat variety. Or, you can try a vinaigrette with just a bit of oil, or even just a bit of lemon.
Finally on this tip sheet is to think about the dangerous no-no of breading and frying your food. Avoid this unhealthy habit - and limit your enjoyment of these types of foods to 2 times a month at the worst, as a reward of sorts.
Cooking healthy restaurant recipes from home is a great alternative to eating the bad, original versions of the recipes. You can take control of your life. Enjoy your food, knowing it's been prepared by your own hand.
