Friday's Food

Preparing your own food is a great way to keep costs down and to monitor the amount of calories and fat in the food. Still, it can be difficult to give up favorites like pizza, buffalo wings and mozzarella sticks. Good news! You can make healthier versions of these normally fried and fattening foods. Chef Rocco DiSpirito (from Dancing With the Stars & Biggest Loser) has published a book called "Now Eat This!: 150 of America's Favorite Comfort Foods, All Under 350 Calories." The book offers a healthier version of popular comfort foods including some that you would never think they could possibly be made healthy like New England Clam Chowder, Pad Thai and Caesar Salad. Best of all, having this cookbook at your fingertips means your less likely to go out to dinner looking for a comfort food fix! Now that's frugal.

The book is available on Amazon.com (you can also preview the book and some of the recipes) for $12.87.

  1. Wow! You are right about the comfort food that I crave. New England Clam Chowder is one of my favorites but it is so calorie-laden. Certainly, I would like to have comfort foods that are good for me and delicious. At that price, how could anyone pass up the the cookbook: Now Eat This! 150 of America's Favorite Comfort Foods.
