Crisp fried hash browns under fried eggs to soak up the yolks. That kind of thing. Mostly now it's whole-grain-cereal with skim-milk and fruit. It is all good really.

You'll feel full and satisfied faster and thus eat less (actually consuming fewer or the same amount of calories); your body will thank you for the enzymes so necessary to get nutrients where they need to go -- and so much more.

"lightening them up" sort of defeats the purpose. it's the richness and fat that makes them comforting. sure there are low fat/cal versions but if i'm craving mashed potatoes, you'd better believe i'm loading them with cream and butter. if i just want potato, baked or roasted will suffice.
