Lighten Up! Episodes

Season 1, Episode 1

Comfort Concoctions

In this show, Christina demonstrates a hearty twist on the classic comfort-food, Macaroni and Cheese. Janette's version is not only light, it's all vegetarian - yet still creamy and soothing. Plus Chocolate Truffles

Season 1, Episode 2

Simple Sunday Dinners

In this show, Christina and Janette are making some mighty impressive meatloaves. Christina's is the traditional beef and Janette is using poultry, but the twist is in their presentation. The potato crust on both dishes looks difficult, but it couldn't be easier!

Season 1, Episode 3

TV Dinners

Christina and Janette have each got a method for preparing a dinner you can freeze, then pop in the oven to enjoy when your favorite program comes on. Christina's got portable versions of some Italian classics, while Janette is making her tray totally meatless.

Season 1, Episode 4

Kids Birthday Cakes & Treats

On this show, Christina's creates a cake replica of Cinderella's Castle that would make the professional bakers jealous. Janette, on the other hand, is baking up a delicious Chocolate Centipede cake for your little bug-lover, and you won't believe her secret ingredientàBeets! Then Christina's got Cookie Pops, that can be decorated by your little party guests - and Janette shows how those same kids might like to

Season 1, Episode 5

That Crumb Show

Sometimes being a crummy cook is good. On this show, Janette and Christina are preparing Snapper with a lovely crust of chips - either pecan and potato, or fat-free tortilla. Christina also has a sweet treat, Frosted Cornflakes Cheesecake - while Janette will do a Cheesecake that incorporates wheat flake cereal.

Season 1, Episode 6

Pies the Limit

In this show, Christina and Janette are cooking all things with a crust! Christina's doing individual beef pot pies, and Janette's making an amazing chicken pot pie with a phyllo dough crust. For dessert, they've got a special guest, John McDaniel, helping them whip up the indulgent and virtuous versions of ice cream pies.

Season 1, Episode 7

Cooking with Candy

On this show, it's a fun filled party with a sophisticated air. Christina and Janette are taking boring old recipes and turning them on their ear with a sweet shot of candy. With recipes for Peanut Brittle Pork Satay, chocolate fondue and sweet potato soup.

Season 1, Episode 8

Manly Meals for Manly Men

On this show, Janette and Christina are cooking for hungry men. They've both got steak with fries on the side. Christina pumping up the flavor with rich cheese sauce and Janette's got a lot of spice going on. Either way, they're sure to be satisfied.

Season 1, Episode 9

Pizza, Pizza, Pizza

If you don't enjoy this show in 30 minutes or less, it's free! Christina's got a yummy pizza going on, with cheese everywhere - even inside the crust! Janette's pizza is also yummy, but with the added benefit of a higher fiber whole wheat crust and slimmer veggie toppings.

Season 1, Episode 10

Sunday Snacks

On this show, Janette and Christina cook up their favorite Buffalo chicken wing recipes, two different ways. They'll also be making a chili dish. Christina's is hearty and amazing, and Janette's is equally tasty, but vegetarian!

Season 1, Episode 11

Tropical Delights

The flavor today is Carribean, and both main dishes are on the healthy side. Christina's Jerk Shrimp Stirfry is fit for a spa. However, not to be outdone, Janette will be making a similar dish with Monkfish rather than shrimp, therefore rendering it totally cholesterol-free. Christina will wrap things up with a sweet Ambrosia - the food of the Gods!

Season 1, Episode 12

Beer for Breakfast

On this show, Christina and Janette have the perfect breakfast to cook up after a night on the town. It's all about beer! You won't believe how fluffy and delicious both the light and original versions of their pancakes are - and either Christina's Beer Sausage and Home Fries or Janette's (Lite Turkey) Kielbasa Home Fries are the perfect accompaniment.

Season 1, Episode 13

Candlelight Cooking

On this show, Janette and Christina have romance on the front burner. Both ladies are making a Chicken Parmesan Rollup dish, but Christina's is her husband's old-fashioned favorite, while Janette will substitute some ingredients to offer her pared-down alternative. They're also baking up two Rum Raisin Apple Pies.
