Seven healthy comfort food ideas without the calories Susie Burrell Photo: Katrina Meynink When the thermometer drops, you ll probably want warming, filling meals that aren t necessarily healthy.  So if you ve been craving pies, puddings and roasts but would also like to keep your weight under control over winter, here are some easy tricks to help make your favourite comfort foods a whole lot lighter. Potato gratin There are far worse options nutritionally than a creamy vegetable bake. Even with a potato base and cheesy sauce, it s easy to make a healthier version of this family staple. Opt for mixed vegies including pumpkin, cauliflower and broccoli as well as a couple of potatoes to reduce the amount of carbohydrate. And rather than using cream, a white sauce made from a little milk and butter with flour will result in a creamy base that s much lower in fat. Using shredded parmesan rather than cheddar will also give you that rich flavour while using less cheese overall.
