From the Inside Flap:

Comfort Food Fix is the eagerly anticipated follow-up to the New York Times best-selling So Easy. This time Ellie Krieger, host of the long-running, popular Food Network cooking show Healthy Appetite (now airing in re-runs every weekday morning on Cooking Channel), offers 150 recipes for American favorites -- meatloaf, lasagna, New England Clam Chowder, chicken pot pie, shrimp and grits, crab cakes, garlic bread sticks, mashed potatoes, and more. But because Ellie is all about eating right, for every recipes she reduces the calories, saturated fat, and cholesterol, without sacrificing any of the flavor. All of the recipes includes a before-and-after chart at the bottom, so you can see just how much healthier Ellie's recipes are than the originals. Imagine a sweet potato casserole with 150 calories per serving instead of 420 calories. Or buttermilk waffles with 1.5 grams of saturated fat instead of 11. Or a hearty beef stew with 50 milligrams of cholesterol instead of 120. And because they're recipes by Ellie Krieger, you know they're going to be easy to prepare, made with ingredients you can find in any supermarket -- no trips to the health food store required. Just in case recipe titles like Country Fried Steak with Gravy and Triple Onion French Onion Soup aren't tempting enough, the book will be packed with gorgeous photography of finished dishes to whet the appetite. Ellie Krieger's fans are devoted, and this is the book they've been waiting for.
