How to stay healthy and not gain any weight during the holidays and at Christmas is the age old question, isn’t it?

Pick and choose the ones that appeal to you and mix them together for a holiday menu sure to please the hungry masses and leave them not only wanting more, but asking for the recipes.

Recipes: Healthy Christmas Dinner

December was soup month here on the blog, but I wanted to show everyone how we created a healthy Christmas dinner. We wanted to put a healthy spin on the traditional version. We started by buying a free-range organic turkey from a local farmer (100 miles rule), adding a festive salad with homemade Christmas salad dressing, and a fabulous sweet potato side dish to complete the dinner. My mom and sister made some other dishes but we skipped the white potatoes with butter and milk, and only had a tiny bit of the stuffing from white bread. So we wanted to show that if you offer to bring some dishes, you have control of what is in them, and you are contributing to the meal. Then you can eat a tiny bit of what else is offered if you want to be polite, but you also have some healthy choices that you’ve made to fall back on, if the main menu isn’t so healthy.

Merry Christmas And Happy Holidays

merry christmas
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas

I want to wish you a Merry Christmas

I want to wish you a Merry Christmas

from the bottom of my heart

Christmas is the ultimate Free Day.

It’s a calorie free, fat free and sodium free day. Enjoy your time with family and friends and let go of any stress around the foods you’re eating.

Eat, Drink and Be Merry, but please don’t drink and drive.

From myself, my cats Pumpkin and Boo,

Feliz Navidad
(I’m feeling Spanish, what can I say?)
