Recipe makeovers

Cattails offers recipe makeovers in response to readers who asked for more information on eating healthy for a variety of reasons, from weight loss to appropriate eating for their age or particular health condition.

Registered dietitians in Marshfield Clinic's Nutrition Services Department create these recipe makeovers. Most recipes incorporate changes that are good for the entire family. They have less fat, less sodium, fewer calories and are more nutritionally sound than a traditional or pre-packaged version of the dish. We will indicate if a recipe especially benefits people with a particular health condition such as diabetes, heart disease or celiac sprue.

The recipes are "kitchen tested," meaning they taste good, are easy for the home cook to prepare, and use ingredients commonly found at local stores.
