Foodie Swellness: Make a healthy poutine with McCain Superfries

October 11, 2015

French fries are one of my favourite foods. So anytime I can make them the star of my meal (and not just a side dish), count me in!

So as you  may expect, poutine is one of my faves. I don’t indulge in it too often (hello, heavy on fat and sugar) but I make it at home sometimes as a super quick meal, and I’ve now started to make it a little bit healthier. I think next time I have some girlfriends over to watch a chick flick or just catch up, it’s super simple to make so I’m not tied up cooking something super labour-intensive.

I used McCain Superfries here, and for the gravy, I followed this healthy, low-salt recipe for mushroom gravy from Cooking Light. Mushrooms are a source of vitamin D and are low in calories, and they’re one of my favourite veggies, so I love topping the fries with a pile of earthy, yummy mushrooms. The gravy is super simple to make and mostly just calls for a bit of chopping and then it simmers so really this can be thrown together super easily. For cheese, I suppose you could go with a skim milk mozzarella if you really want to go lighter, but I chose to go with cheese curds.

Enjoy! Let me know if you have favourite French fry meals where it takes centre stage. Check out other Modifry™ recipes here!
