In Amazing Recipe Makeovers, the experts at Cooking Light start with deliciously decadent dishes, then reduce the calories, sodium, fat, or sugar by half. Discover 200 tested-and-perfected recipes, including: Radically Revamped Comfort Foods - Biscuit-Topped Chicken Potpie, All-American Meatloaf, breakfast and dinner casseroles, plus a standout Macaroni and Cheese recipe with three cheeses for flavor, fat-free Greek yogurt for creaminess, and panko for some crunch. Takeout Favorites - easy homemade Pad Thai, pan-seared Chimichangas, and freezer-friendly Pork and Shitake Pot Stickers to keep on hand for busy nights. Classics Takeover - one-pot Pasta Alla Carbonara, better-for-you Spinach-Bacon Quiche, French Onion Soup with a fraction of the sodium, and a fresh mozzarella-topped Eggplant Parmesan with less than 350 calories and 9g of saturated fat per serving. Less-Loaded Party Starters - baked chips, diet-smart dips including Grilled Vegetable Guacamole, and low-calorie cocktails for a crowd. Succulent Side Dishes - seasonal flavors such as Lemony Roasted Cauliflower with Breadcrumbs alongside family favorites like Twice-Baked Potatoes and Stovetop Creamed Spinach (only 25 calories per serving!). Dreamy Desserts - Gluten-Free Tiramisu, fresh Blueberry Cobbler, and irresistible 250-calorie Chocolate Molten Lava Cakes.
