Summary:

Hearty beef stew after a long day at work, chicken pot pie on a cold winter's night, macaroni and cheese to calm the kids, and homemade soup when you're under the weather-who doesn't turn to comfort foods when needing a little comfort? We all have our favorite feel-good foods, yet some of us may turn to them too often, eating more fat and calories than a healthful diet should include. But there's no need to banish these foods from your diet altogether. Nutritionist Elaine Magee shows us how to recreate the most popular comfort food recipes with her proven techniques for making delicious dishes that are good for you, too. Learn to create healthful versions of these comfort food favorites: All-American Meatloaf, Oven-Fried Buttermilk Chicken, Peach Cobbler, Chicken-Pesto Lasagna, Fettuccine Alfredo, Light Newport Clam Chowder, Potatoes with Leeks and Gruyere, Triple-Chocolate Decadence Cookies, Savory Corn Casserole, Homestyle Buttermilk Pancakes, Christmas-Breakfast Sausage Casserole, Cinnamon Crumb Coffee Cake.
