New year, healthy start. Eating better, though, doesn’t mean you need to enjoy boring meals. These healthy-ish comfort food recipes are the perfect balance between lighter ingredients and comforting meals. You’ll still find a little butter (because butter does make everything better), but you’ll also feel good about what you’re eating. Dinner recipes such as lightning fast spaghetti, air fryer chicken Parmesan, guiltless French fries, oven-fried chicken strips, Italian sausage and pepper soup, apple cider pork roast, and more will help you prepare a healthier meal your entire family will enjoy.

Lightning Fast Healthy Spaghetti<\/a><\/h2>\n
“Sometimes you want food fast, but not fast food. Well, this was the case one Friday evening after a long work week. I was starved for something good, filling, and quick. I went into my kitchen, started looking around, and got busy. Not only did I create one of the best-tasting spaghetti dinners I’ve eaten in a long time, but I made it all from start to finish in under an hour.” – Michelle<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Air Fryer Quick Chicken Parmesan<\/a><\/h2>\n
“Made with convenience items like ground chicken, minced garlic in a jar, prepared pizza sauce, and cooked up in an oven-style air fryer, this take on classic Chicken Parmesan is fast, easy, and delicious. Toss a side salad while it’s cooking, and dinner is on the table in less than 25 minutes! Four servings, each 420 calories” – Larry<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“I love a good sausage and pepper sandwich, so much so, I wanted to try and make a stew with the same hearty flavors and robust color. This is a fabulous slow cooker dinner, served with garlic bread on the side to sop up every last drop!

Oven-Roasted Chicken Shawarma<\/a><\/h2>\n
“Shawarma is traditionally a meat preparation on a vertical spit, slow roasted for the day. This is an easier oven version; a bit more practical when feeding the family. The marinade ingredients are indigenous to the Eastern Mediterranean region. Use your shawarma meat on basmati rice with a nice garlic sauce, or make a wrap with a delicious Syrian bread or Naan.” – Brenda<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
