It’s finally Autumn and we are able to sip out Pumpkin Spice lattes, cozy up by the fire and eat that warm comfort food with loved ones. It can be slightly dangerous getting into all that comfort food when you’re trying to stick to a healthy lifestyle, so pick your meals wisely! This list of meals will help you achieve those comfort food flavors without overloading on fat and calories. Turn on your stove and oven and get ready to prep the perfectly healthy fall meal.
Your family won’t believe this meal isn’t packed with fat when they dig in, but it truly is good for you! Use whole wheat noodles or quinoa noodles to enhance the nutritional value.
