I'm blanking right now, but I prob. have 5 pages of tips.
this is my bread and butter people.
I don't really do it anymore, but I used to spend a lot of time
researching how to do things in a healthier way, mostly
making recipes healthier, kids to eat veggies, on a budget etc.
so I'll add more later

ground flax in place of an egg in baked goods or a small batch of pancakes/muffins

I buy frozen diced peppers and onions mix all the time. adds lots of flavor sauteed and added to almost anything.

don't be afraid to try spicy peppers. jalapenos are actually petty mild if you saute it without the seeds. and mix with something else.

bean burritos covered with green salsa and a sprinkle of extra sharp cheddar, optional. instead of standard cheese covered enchiladas

I got tired of all the extra calories and sugar in honey mustard dressing (and sometimes fat too)
I just use honey mustard now
even better if it's chipotle honey mustard

get a pepper grinder and grind your own pepper its much more flavorful than powdered pepper

baked sweet potatoes long and slow in the oven are just as tasty as the marshmallow covered version to me now
and make a portable meal.

make your own veggie burgers.
