Part 2: In  a 2 page summary, explain what modifications can be made to your three  favorite recipes to transform them into healthier, nutrient dense  versions. The following information must be included for each recipe.

• What makes each of your original dishes unhealthy?
• What substitutions can you make for ingredients to make each recipe more healthy?
• What changes can you make to the amounts of ingredients used?
• What different cooking techniques can you use to make each recipe healthier?
• How can you make each recipe more nutrient dense?

**Responding that a recipe is not  modifiable is not a sufficient answer and you will not receive full  credit. Try your best to answer the questions regarding modifications of  your recipe. If you feel that your recipe cannot be modified, I  strongly suggest that you use an alternate recipe that is modifiable to  complete the assignment.
