4 desserts, 0 guilt
Cat Cora, star of the Food Network's Iron Chef America and author of Cooking From the Hip writes in Parade magazine about her love for desserts and her lack of love for what desserts do to her hips. So that she can have the best of both worlds -- decadent desserts and happy hips -- Cora has learned to create healthy dishes that still taste like the original sin. Her secret? Substituting lighter ingredients like yogurts, light puddings, soy, or light ice creams. Less fat and calories are the end result, with taste and flavor still intact.
Check out these four delights -- Kiwi Parfait, Affogato, Baked Apples, and Clafouti -- by clicking here. Read the recipes word for word or watch video clips of Cora as she prepares each one.
Want to have your cake and eat it too? Cora says it's possible. Just follow her lead.
I'm addicted to the food network, but often I find that their oh-so-yummy looking meal ideas aren't the healthiest -- they're heavy on the fats and not so much on the healthier stuff. Do you find that too? Or do I just have a knack for turning on the TV when the fettucine alfredo comes out?
