Sometimes, you just want something, and it does not fit with your new plan. or your calories. or your macros goals. or whatever.

Instead of tartar sauce, I use a tbsp of 1% sour cream with a teaspoon of relish. (I eat a lot of fish, and some varieties taste too 'fishy' for my taste.)
when I have a recipe that asks for heavy cream, I also use the 1% sour cream.
to sweeten some baked goods, like muffins, instead of sugar I use my home made unsweetened apple sauce. makes moist muffins too.
on some dishes or cooked veggies, instead of salt I use a little lemon juice and/or dill weed sprinkled on it.
