Healthier Comfort Foods

After a long run on a cold winter day, I love sitting down to a big bowl of chili or mac 'n' cheese. I'm also a big fan of hearty and not-so-healthy soups, such as broccoli and cheese. The problem with many comfort foods, of course, is that many of them are high-fat and high-calorie.

But it is possible to get the same great taste and comforting feeling of your favorite comfort foods without the high fat and calories. Here are some healthy makeovers of some popular winter feel-good foods. Just don't be tempted to serve yourself huge portion sizes because the foods are low-cal and low-fat.

• Low-fat Mac and Cheese
• Turkey Chili
• Low-fat Shepherd's Pie
• Turkey Meatloaf
• Low-fat Brownies
