5 Healthy Dishes that Taste Just Like Comfort Food
We've all been on a diet and we all know what happens when you try to deprive yourself completely. It doesn't work. The best thing you could do is train yourself to make better decisions, to think about your choices before just diving in. And speaking of better decisions, here are 5 dishes that will make your favourite comfort foods just a little bit healthier.
Mashed potatoes with all the toppings (butter, cheese, sour cream) are loaded with simple carbs and have next to no nutrients to even it all out. Low in calories and carbs and high in folate, fiber and vitamin C, cauliflower makes a great substitute. Steamed and fork mashed (I like mine pureed) with a little hit of fat free or reduced fat sour cream and chives is just heavenly. Have a look at this recipe from Paula Deen.
