Start With This: Crispy Chicken Sandwich (380 calories) + Sweet & Creamy Mustard Sauce (56 calories), aka the swaps for Chick-fil-A’s famous sandwich and sauce.
HG Top Tip: An air-fryer is an absolute game-changer for making healthy versions of deep-fried favorites at home. These days, you can get one for around $60!

HG Top Tip: With the right sauces, spices, and toppings, you can make just about anything taste like delicious Mexican food. Stock up now—stay ready, and you won’t need to get ready.
Start With This: Toscana Soup (205 calories)—our cover of Olive Garden’s Zuppa Toscana AND the recipe photo on the magazine cover. You’ll make it on repeat, especially during these cold winter months.
HG Top Tip: It’s easy to swap out standard carb-y noodles for veggies. Use a simple veggie peeler to make pasta-like strands of summer squash, no special equipment required.
Start With This: Churro Minis (170 calories), the swap for Jack-in-the-Box’s Mini Churros. Your mind will be blown over how good these turn out!
