A Healthy Alternative

Although I owe you all a cake post from Gordon's Birthday this weekend, I am waaaaay too tired to upload the pics tonight. Soooooo, I figured I would just give a quick tip for those of you who want to cook healthier but have a picky eater that prevents you from doing so.

Many of you know that using ground turkey or chicken is a great alternative to using ground beef. For those of you who want to eat better, don't mind the difference in taste. However, many of our family members do taste the difference and aren't willing to change their meat preference.

Try this: whenever using an alternative to beef, add a beef bouillon cube diluted with water. An example of when I do this is when making tacos. Turkey tacos can be slightly bland for the true red meat eater. However, add beef bouillon to the "seasoning" after meat is browned and you will have your loved one fooled! If you are watching salt intake, you may get low sodium beef broth and use that instead of water to make the taco sauce for your turkey meat.
