This was just on another list...
LOW FAT BAKING TIPS
* Substituting half applesauce for vegetable oil in baking reduces the fat
content.
* Use plain yogurt as a substitute for sour cream.
* Make yogurt cheese (a great substitute for cream cheese) by lining a
strainer with cheesecloth and suspending over a bowl. Put plain yogurt into
the cheesecloth, cover and let drain overnight.
* A low fat substitute for cream is a mixture of half buttermilk and half
yogurt cheese.
