Nutrition Tip of the Week

Use Chicken Broth to Add Flavor

When sauteing your favorite vegetables, low-sodium chicken broth and fresh herbs are tasty substitutes for butter or margarine minus the additional calories. Toss your vegetables in the chicken broth mixed with fresh herbs, such as chives, dill, lemon grass, rosemary or thyme, saute and savor the flavor. To add a hint of sweetness to your vegetable dish, try adding a small amount of 100% fruit preserves to the chicken broth before coating your vegetables.
