In this collection of recipes we have taken classic comfort food favorites from fast food restaurants and even decadent desserts and given an update to make them a bit healthier. For example, a lighter version of your favorite Big Mac can be made by leaving out the bun and turning it into a salad. Or take-out dishes like orange chicken can be revamped by not frying the chicken and making a sauce with no added sugar.
Even desserts like brownies and cakes can be given an update with healthier ingredients to allow us to enjoy the familiar flavors we love, while incorporating more nutritious ingredients that align with a balanced lifestyle. No matter what you are craving you can still enjoy your favorites with a few modifications!
