If you're like most people, 70 percent of what's in your kitchen right now is unhealthy and has to go. Now the good news ... there are healthy and tasty alternatives to everything in your refrigerator and pantry, and the transition is easier than you think. When it comes to food, most of us go through a constant tug-of-war between the foods we love and the foods we feel we should be eating. But what if we didn't have to give up our favorite foods? What if we could take recipes from our childhood or our favorite cookbooks and find healthier ways to enjoy them? Marilu Henner's Healthy Life Kitchen shows you a new way, a better way, to create a "health factory" in your home.
