Comfort Food Fix FeelGood Favorites Made Healthy
Author: Ellie Krieger
Everyone has a favorite comfort food -- those delicious, soothing dishes we great up loving. Ellie Krieger is no different; she craves those soul-satisfying meals just like everyone else. But as a nutritionist, a mom, and the host of Food Network's Healthy Appetite, she just wishes they were better for us. Now, with Comfort Food...  more », they can be.

With Ellie's help, you can use natural ingredients and a few simple techniques to put a healthy twist on your favorite comfort food dishes. From meatloaf and mashed potatoes to cheesy nachos and pumpkin pie, you can enjoy the flavors you love without all the calories and unhealthy fat that usually come with them. Comfort Food Fix includes 150 great-tasting recipe fixes that will satisfy your cravings without sacrificing flavor:

  • Breakfast, Brunch, & Bakery: Choose between delightfully sweet breakfast treats like Banana-Walnut Multigrain Pancakes and hearty, savory morning meals like Corned Beef Hash and Eggs.


  • Snacks & Starters: Broiled Buffalo Wings make a perfect game-day snack while Baked Jalapeno Poppers are just as tempting from the oven as they are from the fryer.


  • Soups & Sandwiches: Clam chowder can be creamy without all the saturated fat, and an Open-Face Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich served on crusty whole-grain bread is every bit as melty delicious with less than half the calories.


  • Main Dishes: Healthy fixes for beloved main courses like Shepard's Pie, Honey-Crisp Oven-Fried Chicken, Crispy Crab Cakes, Broccoli and Cheese Calzones, and Skillet Mac and Cheese.


  • Sides & Salads: Creamy Scalloped Potatoes au Gratin that you can feel good about indulging in, Southern-Style Greens that are big on taste without all the pork fat, and a heart-healthy Waldorf Salad.


  • Desserts: Utterly decadent treats like Chocolate Chunk Cookies, Little Devil's Food Cupcakes, Banana Pudding with Vanilla Wafers, and a perfect Peach Cobbler -- all of which hit the sweet spot perfectly, yet are so much better for you.


With full nutrition information for every recipe, along with eye-opening before-and-after nutrition comparisons, mouthwatering full-color photos, and simple tips for lifelong healthy eating, Comfort Food Fix lets you enjoy your family favorites in a healthier way. Instead of giving up the foods you love, cook with Ellie and take the guilty out of your guilty pleasures.
