Recipe Rehab is a show that aired on CBS from 2012 to 2015. The show is hosted by Chef Evette Rios and Chef Vikki Krinsky, and features different celebrity chefs as guests each episode. The show is all about promoting healthy eating habits and teaching viewers how to make their favorite unhealthy dishes with healthier ingredients.

The concept of the show is simple - two chefs "rehab" a high-calorie, high-fat dish submitted by a viewer or celebrity guest, making it healthier without sacrificing flavor. Each chef presents their own take on the dish, and a panel of judges gives feedback and decides which dish is the winner.

Throughout the show's three-season run, the chefs tackled a variety of dishes from breakfast favorites like pancakes and bacon to classic comfort dishes like mac and cheese and spaghetti and meatballs. The show also featured dessert rehab episodes, where the chefs made healthier versions of cakes, cookies, and other sweet treats.

One of the things that sets Recipe Rehab apart from other cooking shows is the focus on health and nutrition. The chefs don't just swap out unhealthy ingredients for healthier ones - they also explain the nutritional benefits of each ingredient and why it's a better choice than the original. For example, in the pancake rehab episode, the chefs used whole wheat flour and Greek yogurt instead of white flour and butter, explaining that whole wheat flour contains more fiber and nutrients than white flour, and Greek yogurt is a good source of protein.

Another aspect of the show that viewers loved was the friendly competition between the chefs. Each episode presented an opportunity for the chefs to show off their skills and creativity, coming up with unique ways to make a dish healthier without sacrificing taste. Chef Evette Rios was known for her Mexican-inspired dishes, while Chef Vikki Krinsky often incorporated Mediterranean flavors into her recipes.

In addition to the main dish rehab segment, each episode also featured quick tips on healthy eating habits and cooking techniques. From learning how to properly chop an onion to the benefits of meal planning, these tips were a valuable resource for viewers who wanted to improve their kitchen skills and adopt healthier habits.

Overall, Recipe Rehab was a fun and informative cooking show that offered a fresh take on classic dishes while promoting healthy eating habits. The chemistry between the hosts and guest chefs was engaging, and the focus on nutrition and health made the show a valuable resource for viewers who wanted to learn how to eat healthier without sacrificing flavor. While the show ended its run in 2015, it remains a popular choice for viewers who want to learn how to cook healthy, delicious meals.
