Ep 7. Sweet & Savory

Gone are the days of unhealthy comfort foods - in this episode of Not My Mama's Meals, chef Bobby Deen is serving up some sweet and savory dishes with a healthy twist. First up, he takes classic chicken and waffles to the next level with a lighter, healthier version that still satisfies all of your comfort food cravings. By using whole wheat flour and baking the chicken instead of frying it, Bobby cuts down on the calorie count without sacrificing any of the flavor.

Next, Bobby puts a twist on his mom's famous meatloaf recipe with a turkey and cranberry meatloaf that's both sweet and savory. By using lean ground turkey and adding in dried cranberries and a touch of maple syrup, Bobby takes this classic comfort food staple and transforms it into a healthier, more flavorful meal.

For a side dish, Bobby whips up a savory and satisfying roasted butternut squash salad. By roasting the squash and adding in some crispy bacon and tangy goat cheese, he creates a dish that's hearty enough to stand on its own, but also pairs perfectly with the other sweet and savory flavors on the menu.

And of course, no episode of Not My Mama's Meals would be complete without a dessert. Bobby satisfies our sweet tooth with a healthier version of banana bread that's chock full of healthy ingredients like Greek yogurt, whole wheat flour, and honey. By using ripe bananas and a touch of cinnamon, he creates a sweet and satisfying dessert that won't weigh you down.

Throughout the episode, Bobby shares his tips and tricks for making healthier versions of our favorite comfort foods. Whether it's swapping out high-fat ingredients for healthier alternatives or using creative flavor combinations to satisfy our cravings, Bobby proves that healthy eating doesn't have to be boring or bland.

So sit back, relax, and get ready to indulge in some of the best sweet and savory dishes around - all with a healthy twist.
