Keeping off the holiday weight is all about the choices you make during the many
parties, and get-togethers you will be attending this year! If you prepare
healthier dishes to blend in with the traditional ones, you are giving yourself
and others healthier choices!
Here are a few tasty recipes that are simple to prepare and you and your guests
will love!
Steamed broccoli- with garlic and butter (yes butter, not margarine). For a
party of 8: Take eight to ten cups of fresh broccoli (chopped with stems). Put
them in a pot with the bottom covered in about 1/3 inch of water. Bring to a
boil and steam for about three minutes. Drain the water but keep the broccoli in
the pot and return to the stove on low heat. Add one clove of minced garlic to
the pot and about tbsp of butter (unsalted is better for you) along with a
pinch of sea salt. Gently mix the garlic through and let the butter melt. Serve
hot.
Fruit Salad- To be served after dinner with desert. Combine apples, grapes,
bananas, oranges and red grapefruit together in a bowl. The amounts of each are
entirely up to you. Remember that the sweetness of the apple, grapes, bananas
and oranges balance out the bitter taste of the grapefruit.
Black Bean Dip- Great, healthy appetizer! For this recipe, combine the following
ingredients together: 1 can of sweet corn, drained, 1 can of black beans, rinsed
well and drained, 1 ripe avocado, chopped, 1 small red onion chopped, 1 large
tomato chopped, 1 tbsp of minced garlic, cup of olive oil, and cup of
balsamic vinegar. Serve with whole grain nacho chips.
