Ingredients: 4 packages (10 ounces each) frozen corn, thawed; 1 cup half-and-half cream; 1/4 cup butter, cubed; 2 tablespoons sugar; 2 teaspoons salt; 1/2 teaspoon pepper; 1/3 cup all-purpose flour; 2 cups fat-free milk; 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese; Minced fresh parsley

This healthy creamed corn has all the rich feel and flavor of the original, but only about half the calories and about a third of the saturated fat. —Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

Health tip: To make lighter versions of favorite recipes that call for cheddar cheese, try using less cheese but switch to sharp cheddar. It’s more flavorful, so you’ll still get a lot of cheddar goodness.
