Hello, What’s for dinner readers! I’m Beth (or Mackattack) from www.Fatbustermack.com. Mara has asked me to write a post while she is enjoying her honeymoon! I don’t know about where you live, but this winter has been especially cold in Denver. We had our first snow in early October and the snow has kept coming since then. I know many will disagree with me, but I love it!
There is nothing cozier than curling up under a warm blanket, watching cheesy romantic comedies on TV and chowing down on comfort food. Growing up, my mom would make us delicious meals like shepherds’ pie, crock pot chili, beef stroganoff and so many other (pretty high calorie) delicious heavy dinners.
My current way of eating could accommodate such fare, but we tend not to indulge. Instead we find ways to modify comfort foods for lower calorie eating. Instead of shepherds’ pie we have made potatoes, spinach and mushroom casserole.
Instead of green bean casserole, we make lemony green beans.
I really can’t deny the fact that I love food that tastes good, but I still have many pounds to lose! We are finding great ways to eat delicious food without having to spend so many calories.
So readers, what are your favorite comfort food replacements?
I will make mock pizzas either with english muffins or use pitas. I will also use turkey pepperoni instead of regular.

Great guest post Beth! I am the queen of trying to get the most food for the least amount of calories!
Love adding egg whites to breakfast burritos – makes it seem like a lot of food for only 50 calories a 1/2 cup – I made one for my breakfast yesterday and it kept me full for HOURS!
