Light Tips for Pasta Dishes
Prepare dishes flavored with vegetables and herbs rather than meats and cream sauces.
When possible, use low-fat cheese, such as ricotta or cottage cheese in place of other cheeses.
Tenderness Tips
Avoid freezing whenever possible to eliminate moisture loss that occurs during thawing. The moisture loss in thawing results in less tender meat.
Keep pork from drying out in the refrigerator by keeping it tightly wrapped.
Grilling is a cooking method that uses a dry heat that quickly cooks the surface and then slowly moves to the middle of the meat. When grilled properly, the meat will have a crisp flavorful outside coating with a moist center. Grilling infuses the pork with a smoky flavor from the meat juices that drip during the grilling process.

The grilling process cooks foods with a high heat source, either directly, indirectly, or with a combination of both.
Steaks and burgers are not the only foods to enjoy on the grill. Add grilled fruits and vegetables to your next cookout menu. Grilling fruit brings out its natural sweetness and the flavor of the grilled vegetables is enhanced when they are lightly charred.

The required cooking temperature and the method for grilling turkey depend on the thickness of the turkey meat and whether or not the skin is removed. Grilling turkey parts or slices would be done using direct heat. Grilling a whole turkey would be done using indirect heat.
The high heat of grilling sears the surface of beef, creating tender meat with a flavorful crust. The required cooking temperature and the method of grilling (direct, indirect, or a combination) depends on the cut of beef and the quality of the meat.
Tenderness Tips
Avoid freezing whenever possible to eliminate additional moisture loss during thawing, which results in less tender meat.
