How to Make Comfort Foods Healthy

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at MNSU chapter.

Some classic American foods can be really unhealthy, but we love them too much to care. I found ways to make some unhealthy comfort foods healthier. For example, a way to make fried chicken healthier is by breading it and baking it in the oven instead of frying it.

Also adding veggies to substitute noodles and pasta is a great way to make dishes healthier.

 

This picture is eggplant parmesan lasagna. By using eggplant, it makes lasagna healthier.

Another way to make a classic dish like pizza healthy is to make the crust out of cauliflower.

 

Now, whether you are on a diet or want to eat healthy, comfort foods can be eaten without guilt.

 

Currently, I am a first-year sophomore at MNSU. My major is International Business, whispers, "it sounds scary but it's not". I really love traveling and business, so I think my major is a great fit. I am a very open-minded person which is why I also enjoy learning about other cultures. I think Her Campus will help me because my fashion sense isn't great but it is getting better. The last thing I am going to mention is that I love watching movies and reading in my free time, so maybe I will write about them.
