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.
