HEALTHY COOK
Enjoy Holiday Delights the Healthy Way by CAROL CORLEY
A
s we approach the holiday season, we usually expect that temptation will cause us to add a few pounds and maybe challenge our cholesterol levels. Usually we feel the pleasure is worth the pain, and we are confident we will fix it with our New Year’s resolutions But holiday eating doesn’t have to be that way. It is very possible to have a lovely holiday season, enjoy treats and special foods, and be smart about it. One way to enjoy healthy holiday foods is with the eyes — beauty and color are every bit as important as taste in appreciating foods. Maybe moreso, since the way food looks is what tempts us to try it. We can add color and flavor with fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, eggs, and seeds. Another option is to enjoy the forbidden but in small quantities. We don’t need a 12-ounce steak when a 6-ounce filet can be equally satisfying. Appetizers can help cut down on overeating because you can spend time enjoying the foods. For instance, opting for stuffed mushrooms instead of potato skins can help keep portion size, fats, and calories down while still satisfying. And while planning snacks and meals, it’s fun to think of ways to make them healthy and still interesting. HN
