Go Ahead… Sauce it
Anyone watching their weight is generally told to keep away from sauces. And, I would agree if you are talking about Hollandaise, or any of those other creamy, fatty recipes.
The thing is, if you make it yourself, you control the ingredients and can make it healthy. The best part is, when you add a sauce it usually makes the meal a lot less boring and you have much less tendency of load up your plate with unhealthy things like butter or sour cream.
And, sauces are easy.
I have one basic rule: If the pan that I just cooked (usually meat) in has anything stuck to it, I make a sauce (not to mention, making a sauce in that pan makes cleanup a lot easier too).
