You might not be able to take back all the eggnog, Champagne, ham, and neighbors' cookies you ate during the holidays, but you can start making healthier, lighter choices in 2013 by trying out this menu with those thoughts in mind. Deprivation's not on our list of resolutions. We want you to get all the good stuff: fried chicken, barbecued beans, and even dessert. However, each of these recipes has a little secret - they're all better for you than their original counterparts.
Celery Root and Leek Soup
Modeled after potato and leek soup, the main starch in the soup is actually celery root; also, you won't find any cream acting as a thickening agent. Make the soup even lighter by garnishing it with a dollop of Greek yogurt instead of crème fraîche.
Mayo-Free Waldorf Salad
If you don't like mayonnaise or blue cheese, then you'll appreciate the fact that this updated Waldorf salad is free of those heavy ingredients, traditionally found in the original salad.
Keep on reading for the rest of the menu.
