Hey guys! Are you trying to eat healthier but find you're missing your favorite foods? There's no need to miss out -- just try these healthy twists on your not-so-healthy favorites.

  • Do you like onion rings? No problem. Instead of battered and deep-fried, coat onion rings in a mixture of ground almonds and cornmeal then bake.
  • You don't have to have a few ounces of fish for a lighter dinner. You can still have meat and potatoes -- try a healthed-up meatloaf and mash russet potatoes with low-fat milk or yogurt instead of cream (add parmesan for flavor and, better yet, add some pureed cauliflower for a nutritional boost).
  • If you love tex-mex, try a burrito filled to the gills with chicken, black beans, salsa, grilled veggies, and guacamole.
