So many of us just want to skip dinner and go right for dessert, but what's the best way to combine sweet and savory into a healthy and delicious meal? I've got a friend with just that problem ? she's all grown up except when it comes to cooking. Can I get this candy girl to put down her sweet treats and cross over to a healthier lifestyle? Tonight, we're meeting Natasha. Her basic food groups consist of Swedish fish, cereal, pancakes and cake frosting.
TIPS:
- Use fruit flavored preserves and jams to add a sweet flavor to pan sauces for fish, meat or chicken.
- Freeze fruit when it's in season and enjoy it in smoothies year round.
