Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful, and since we’ve got no place to go…let us eat, let us eat, let us eat.
Those may or may not be the correct lyrics, but we prefer this version of the song. What better way to spend a toasty night inside than savoring your favorite comfort foods? The best part–you can enjoy many of them without worrying about that pesky winter weight.

Low-Cal Recipe Replacements You Would Never Expect!
Butternut Squash Fries
We know that the typical craving is for regular french fries, but these butternut squash fries taste just as good (we think better), and are simple to make. Ready? Buy one large squash. Skin it with a potato peeler. Cut into strips. Spray pan with a 0 calorie cooking spray, lay down the squash and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 15 minutes, and enjoy your delicious fries. Mom would be so proud that you’re eating your vegetables!
