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.
