It’s the second week of January – how are your New Year’s resolutions doing?

If eating healthier is one of them, Cooking Channel online has you covered, offering up ideas for meal makeovers and low-calorie desserts that are imaginative and look delicious.

Carbs get a bad rap these days. But really, who can resist pasta? One health-conscious option for those lovers of all things noodle is Giada De Laurentiis’ lemon basil spaghetti (www.cookingchanneltv.com/ videos/lemon-basil-spaghetti-0139045), which she makes from whole wheat spaghetti, lemon, basil, garlic and salmon and serves over a bed of lettuce of your choice. Yum.

Along those same lines, there is Ellie Krieger’s macaroni and four cheeses (www.cookingchanneltv. com/recipes/macaroni-and-4-cheeses-1945972).

The calorie count for a dish can reach four figures, but Krieger has found a way to cut into that by substituting low-fat milk and part-skim ricotta for the full-power versions and also mixing in pureed winter squash to bump up the creaminess. Yes, there are still caloric ingredients like sharp cheddar and Monterey jack cheeses in this mix but if mac and cheese is what you absolutely crave, this is the way you have it at a fraction of the calories – 393 per serving to be exact.

There is no more comforting a comfort food than meatloaf and Krieger has her own version with her turkey meatloaf (www.cookingchanneltv.com/recipes/ ellie-krieger/moms-turkey-meatloaf-1946007), which she makes with ground turkey (instead of beef ), quick oats (instead bread crumbs), skim milk (instead of whole) and mixes them with eggs, Worcestershire sauce, red bell pepper, tomato sauce,

12:30 pm FOOD Mary Makes It Easy Mary makes healthier versions of her favorite comfort foods by incorporating more nutrients. salt, pepper and ketchup. At 207 calories a serving, it’s comfort without the guilt.

In terms of healthy proteins, there are few healthier than salmon and Dave Lieberman brings forth a personal favorite with what he calls “Dad’s poached salmon” (www.cookingchanneltv. com/recipes/packages/fresh-start-healthy-eating/ healthy-foods-and-healthy-diet-ideas/videos/healthyweeknight-dinners). For this dish, he first creates a stock from the skeleton of a fileted salmon, celery, carrots, white wine, water and seasonings, which he sifts and uses to poach the salmon. There’s a lot more procedure and ingredients than we can mention here but you get the idea – this dish is special and very nutritious.

For something more exotic, try De Laurentiis’ chicken saltimbocca (www.cookingchanneltv.com/ recipes/chicken-saltimbocca-1942157). She makes hers with chicken cutlets pounded flat, prosciutto, frozen chopped spinach, grated parmesan, chicken broth and lemon juice. It tastes sinful but at 227 calories per serving it’s a nice guilt-free indulgence.

Three pros make a comfort classic using only plant-based foods, and the winner takes on a judge. (N)
