Tasty Toppings - The Best and Worst Condiments

Nothing like a bit of garlic lard to add flavor to your meal...and inches to your waistline!

Avoid the pitfalls of poor condiment judgement by choosing wisely what you spread over your next meal. Here are some of my favorite alternatives to butter, mayo and full-fat salad dressings:

1. Hummmmmmus - the richness of mayo, but loaded with goodies like protein and fiber, instead of calories and fat.

2. Guacamole - trade in the bad fat of mayo for the good fat of guacamole.

3. Pesto - one of my favorite tasty delights, the olive oil and pine nut base is full of monounsaturated fat AND the basil is choked full of antioxidents.

Pay respect to my dietary motto: once on the lips, a lifetime on the hips...these are simple choices you can make to lighten your weight load, yet heighten your sensory load.
