Who doesn’t enjoy a grilled cheese or a plate of mac’n'cheese? The problem is that most foods we enjoy the most are creamy, cheesy and oh so very fattening.
Here are some healthy twists to my favorite comfort foods.
Grilled Cheese
Try a cheese toast instead. Take a piece of whole-grain bread with a piece of cheese on top inside the toaster oven. Leave it in there until the cheese bubbles and then add some spices or veggies.
Macaroni and Cheese
Forget the store version, the best makeover to this dish is by making it at home.
Use whole grain pasta, non-processed cheese and dice up some vegetables.
Apple Pie
One slice of apple pie can have as many as 750 calories-and that’s not counting the meal that you had before dessert!
Use whole-wheat pastry flour to add fiber and lower the saturated fat by replacing some of the butter with canola oil to make the worst part, the crust, a little healthier.
