Meal Makeover: Soledad O'Brien's Family Dinner

CNN anchor Soledad O'Brien's New Year's resolution was to cook dinner more often for her family (as opposed to ordering takeout), despite a hectic career, and clean-up theirsnacking habits with healthier options.

So, she enlisted the help of ModernMom.com's food & cooking contributor Cat Cora (aka Food Network's Iron Chef) who cleaned out Soledad's kitchen, substituted healthy staples and snacks and gave her some healthy alternatives to their usual dinner choices.

A family favorite in the O'Brien household, tacos are a quick dinner option that Soledad can whip together after a long day at work. Cat lightened up the typical taco recipe with ground turkey, black beans, and lettuce cups.
