KEEPING THE HOLIDAYS HEALTHY
Any holiday or celebration can be a time of great anxiety for those trying to keep the holiday table full of healthy choices. The holiday season is very focused on food. By planning, we can reduce our stress level, stay centered on family and enjoy the day.
Advertisement
Avoid high-calorie or fried appetizers and have a platter of raw veggies with a low-calorie dip or have a few small pieces of cheese with a few crackers to nibble on.
The best way to compensate for eating a little more than usual is to be active. Taking a walk with the family, playing Frisbee, soccer, catch or touch football with children, grandchildren or the neighborhood kids are just a few ideas.
Many holiday foods are high in carbohydrates, such as mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing or dressing, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie and other desserts. Have a reasonable portion of our favorites and pass on the rest. If we really want to try everything, take very small portions or “samples” of several dishes.
Remember to include veggies. Most menus for celebrations have limited veggies, which come in all colors and are very nutritious. Add a green salad or a side of roasted seasoned veggies such as broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, zucchini and yellow squash. These non-starchy veggies are low in carbs and calories and will help fill us up to keep from overeating other high-calorie and high-fat foods on the table.
Modify recipes by substituting healthy ingredients and using healthy cooking methods (e.g., boil, bake or grill instead of frying) to make those foods better for you.

Drain the juice from the pineapple and save it. Set the pineapple aside for later use. Combine the pineapple juice with water to equal 2 cups of liquid. Prepare the gelatin according to the directions on the package using the juice-water mixture for the liquid. Once the gelatin is dissolved, stir in the lemon juice. Chill it until it’s partially set.

This is the season when people of all faiths and cultures are pushing back against the planetary darkness. We string bulbs, ignite bonfires and light candles. And we sing. ~Anita Diamant
SWEET POTATO HOLIDAY CASSEROLE
MAKES 6 SERVINGS
3 packets non-nutritive sweetener 2 large (1 lb) baked sweet potatoes, peeled 1 (5 oz) can evaporated skim milk 1 egg, plus 2 egg whites ½ tsp vanilla
Topping 2 Tbsp light margarine, melted 1 cup crushed bran flakes 2 Tbsp dark brown sugar ½ tsp cinnamon ¼ cup chopped pecans (optional)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Wash hands with soap and hot water. Assemble these supplies: measuring cups, measuring spoons, blender, 2-quart casserole, small mixing bowl, rubber spatula and nonstick cooking spray. Blend the first five ingredients in a blender until they are smooth and well blended. Pour the mixture into a casserole dish that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Mix the topping ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Spoon the topping over the sweet potato mixture. Bake the potatoes at 350 degrees F for 30 to 40 minutes or until they are bubbly and lightly browned on top. Nutrients per serving with nuts: Calories: 180; sodium: 150 milligrams; carbohydrate: 29 grams; dietary fiber: 3 grams; protein: 6 grams; fat: 6 grams Without nuts: Calories: 150; sodium: 150 milligrams; carbohydrate: 28 grams; dietary fiber: 2 grams; protein: 6 grams; fat: 3 grams.
Cranberries put a holiday twist on a classic mimosa. Drier champagnes or sparkling wines are lower in sugar. Making cranberry juice from scratch with sweeteners like maple syrup or honey is a natural alternative to commercial cranberry juice. Prepare the cranberry juice the night before serving.
YIELD: 4 TO 8 SERVINGS
4 cups homemade (recipe below) or store bought cranberry juice 1 cup orange juice 1 bottle drier champagne, such as Ultra Brut Rosemary sprigs for garnish Fill four champagne flutes or glassware of choice approximately halfway with cranberry juice. Add 2 Tbsp orange juice to each glass. Top each glass with champagne. Garnish with sprig of rosemary. Refill as desired.
Recipe courtesy of Sheila Julson. 3 cups fresh cranberries 3 cups water ½ cup pure maple syrup or honey
Put fresh cranberries and water in a pot and bring to a boil. Turn heat to low and simmer for approximately 15 minutes until the berries soften and pop. Using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the berries and return the juice to the pan. (Use leftover cranberries in smoothies, yogurt or relish.)
Gradually add maple syrup or honey until desired sweetness is achieved. Heat on low until sweetener dissolves. Pour juice into an airtight bottle and refrigerate.
