" \nYes, we Cosmo women like to be health-conscious. But let&amp;#039;s get real. Rich, delicious dishes also make us close our eyes and melt with pleasure. I&amp;#039;m a Southern girl, so when I splurge, I go for this. It&amp;#039;s crunchy, creamy, hearty\u2026and while it&amp;#039;s not exactly steamed veggies, I&amp;#039;ve created the recipes so you can pig out without doing tons of damage.  Fried Chicken Strips  No one can resist these. 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into \u00BD-inch strips  Salt and pepper, to taste  2 eggs, lightly whisked  1 cup milk  \u00BC cup hot sauce  2 cups crushed cracker crumbs (like saltines)  \u00BD teaspoon garlic powder  \u00BD teaspoon paprika  Canola oil, for frying  Barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, or honey-mustard sauce, for dipping  Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a bowl, combine eggs, milk, and hot sauce. Add chicken, and toss to coat. Cover, and refrigerate for at least one hour and up to four hours.  In a shallow dish, combine cracker crumbs, garlic powder, and paprika. Dredge each piece of chicken in the mix, taking care to coat both sides evenly.  Heat a couple of inches of canola oil in a deep skillet to 350 degrees. (If you don&amp;#039;t have a thermometer, drop a small piece of bread into the oil. When it bubbles, it&amp;#039;s ready.) Fry a few pieces of chicken at a time, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel\u2013lined plate.    Mac &amp;#039;n&amp;#039; Cheeses  I use skim milk to lighten up. 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour  1 teaspoon kosher salt  \u00BD teaspoon onion powder  \u00BC teaspoon black pepper  2 cups skim milk  2 tablespoons low-fat cream cheese  2 cups shredded low-fat cheddar cheese  10 ounces elbow macaroni, cooked to package instructions  2 Roma tomatoes, sliced  In a saucepan over medium heat, mix flour, salt, onion powder, and pepper. Cook 2 minutes, stirring. Slowly whisk in milk, then add cream cheese. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook 4 minutes, stirring, until thick. Remove from heat, and stir in 1\u00BD cups cheddar cheese until melted.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a 12-muffin tin with cooking spray. In a bowl, mix cooked macaroni and cheese sauce. Spoon into muffin tin. Top with a slice of tomato and shredded cheese. Bake until bubbly and golden brown, about 25 minutes. Saut\u00E9ed Kale \u00BD onion, thinly sliced  1 tablespoon olive oil  1 garlic clove, minced  1 16-ounce bag frozen chopped kale  \u00BD cup chicken broth  2 teaspoons soy sauce  2 teaspoons apple-cider vinegar Saut\u00E9 onion in oil over medium heat 5 minutes. Add garlic. Stir in kale, broth, and soy sauce, and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.  Chocolate Banana Pudding Pie  Super easy and super delish! 1 premade graham- cracker crust  2 ripe medium bananas, thinly sliced  2 chocolate-pudding pie-filling mixes, prepared to package directions  1 cup whipped cream  Cocoa powder  Arrange half the banana slices over the crust. Spread half the pudding over bananas, top with another layer each of bananas and pudding. Spread whipped cream on top. Dust with cocoa.  All recipes serve 4 to 6.
