Check out these 15 Light & Healthy Comfort Food Recipes! Enjoy comfort foods guilt free with these lighter takes on classic comfort food recipes!
Hey everyone! Serene from House of Yumm back with you today to share some healthy comfort food recipes! These are lighter versions of some of the best classic comfort foods! Did you all enjoy the holidays? It always feels weird to me to get back to ‘regular life’ once the holidays are all over. After all of the indulging that takes place during that time of the year, it’s nice to scarf down some salads. Although, I’m not the type of person who enjoys diets, or restricting my diet in any way. If I feel like I can’t have something, guess what happens. Yup. I want it.
My solution?? Lighter versions of my favorites!! The best of both worlds. This way we can enjoy good food that is actually good for us! Typically making a few small changes to a classic recipe can make the recipe worlds better for you.
One of my favorite things to do is play with the dairy that is in recipes, switching creams for lighter milks or even non dairy milks, or changing flours and breads to whole wheats. Adding more vegetables where it makes sense. Making the side salad a little bit larger and the main dish portions a little smaller. It’s all about balance.
I have collected 15 healthy comfort food recipes for you to try out this New Year! And I’m so excited to share them all with you!
