Healthy Holidays Recipes, Menus and Cooking Tips
Oh, the holiday season. It’s good spending time with family and friends but all of the festive food can make healthy eating a challenge. Americans put on half of our annual weight gain between Thanksgiving and New Year’s. Though it’s only a pound or two, if it happens year after year, it can add up. The EatingWell editors and Test Kitchen are here to help. We’ve compiled some of our favorite recipes and menus to help you have a happy, healthy holiday season. Try one of our lighter latke recipes this year. Experiment with baking with whole grains with some of our award-winning cookies. Spice up your annual New Year’s Eve cocktail party with some different appetizers and drinks. Chat with others on our bulletin boards and swap recipes, entertaining ideas and tips for making it though the holiday season.
Hanukkah
Potato latkes—the crispy golden pancakes that are symbolic of the Jewish festival of lights—are all about the oil. Unfortunately, most latke recipes today rely on what seems like an eight-day supply of oil (or trans-fat-laden shortening products) to achieve the desired taste and crispiness. But celebrating the Festival of Lights doesn’t have to raise your cholesterol. Read more... Healthy Hanukkah Recipes and Menus

Winter Drinks

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is all about abundance, or, often, overabundance. Everyone wants to bring their favorite dish, or needs to have pumpkin and apple pie. With all the rich, heavy choices, there’s a distinct chance that Thanksgiving will turn out to be about overindulgence. But it doesn't have to be that way. Read more...
