We're our comfort-food jag on our podcast. We have some ideas about how to make comfort foods better--or at least not so guilt-ridden.

We're veteran cookbook authors Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough. We've written and published over three dozen cookbooks and developed over 12,000 original recipes in our career. One of our latest books is THE LOOK & COOK AIR FRYER BIBLE.

We love a creamy casserole but we don't always love the way we feel after we enjoy a serving (or three). Here are some tips for renovating standard comfort foods to make them just as delicious but less guilt-ridden. Plus, we've got a one-minute cooking tip about kitchen appliances. Then Bruce interviews Brittany Mullens, founder of Eating Bird Food, about her cookbook MOSTLY VEGGIES. And we tell you what's making us happy in food this week.
