Product Description
Hundreds of easy recipes, cooking and shopping tips, and nutrition advice to make your classic favorites healthier.
For 18 years, EatingWell Magazine has been known for taking classic favorites and making them healthier, using simple steps, handy ingredients and strict nutrition guidelines. Now, hundreds of healthy, easy recipes as well as cooking and shopping tips and nutrition advice are compiled in this exciting new cookbook.
In this book, EatingWell delivers hundreds of recipes for every occasion—from Super Bowl snacks to Mother's Day brunches to Thanksgiving dinners—and for every type of food (yes, even chocolate desserts!).
For each of our makeovers, we provide nutritional analysis and tell you how we improved it compared with a classic version. For instance, our chicken-fried steak with gravy has nearly half the fat and one-third the calories of the classic version yet still tastes as rich and satisfying as the original. By putting a little canned pumpkin into a tomato sauce, using whole-wheat dough and turkey pepperoni, EatingWell improves classic pepperoni pizza, cutting the calories, sodium and fat by one-third or more.
EatingWell Comfort Foods Made Healthy also offers real-life stories of people whose meals have inspired "makeovers," ranging from legendary football player Anthony Davis to Jake Burton Carpenter, the founder of Burton Snowboards, to organic-foods pioneer Nell Newman. We also solve problems for everyday families including: a Chinese dinner a diabetic can appreciate and healthier crispy tacos for a family from Texas.
With a fun tone, easy-to-follow instructions and quick and simple recipes, EatingWell Comfort Foods Made Healthy is accessible to anyone. It is aimed at both the first-time cook as well as people who grew up cooking and now want to make their classic favorites healthier.
This book does far more than just provide the recipes, though, it will also teach you the secrets of healthy, balanced cooking. The introduction covers the principles of healthy cooking, from picking the most nutritious ingredients to meal planning, with sections that cover:
• Healthier techniques for frying and baking
• How to get more vegetables into your meals
• A "pantry-raid": a list of healthy staples you should swap into your pantry and keep as staples
• Tools to use: a list of essential tools that a healthy kitchen should stock
• Tips on picking the healthiest fats and oils

I am just getting started with the book and cooking in general. I want to eat better but miss some of my favorites like macaroni and cheese. The recipe in here makes me forget about my mom's mac & cheese and just want this version.
The recipes are easy to follow though I wish there was a picture for each recipe. I am a visual sort of person.
