Honestly, one of the best parts about holidays is the
dessert table! Who’s with me here! But it can also be one of the most fating
courses. Let’s face it, we just spent all day waiting for all the yummy
smelling food to get done, then we finally sit and stuff our faces! After all
of that, we sit back down and once again break out all of desserts! If your
family is anything like mine, you have just as many desserts to choose from as
you did side dishes! So what the heck are we suppose to do?!?! Eat your pie
plain, by skipping the a la mode you can save 250 calories!!! Instead of taking
a whole piece of pie, take a half a piece! Adding whipped cream to your dessert
adds another 80 calories!
The next best part of holidays besides the desserts is the
drinks! Is sparkling wine one of your favorites?? Well, aren’t you fancy! ; ) Stick
to one glass to stay in the safe calorie zone! We’ve all heard a glass of wine
a day keeps the doctor away, or was that an apple!?! Anyway…for go a glass of
red, it may stain your teeth yet, but it does have some benefits for your
heart! Mixed with an array of fruit juices, a rum cocktail has more calories
than a piece of pumpkin pie. Drink with caution! Skip the sangria, it’s loaded
with fruit (and added sugar), this drink is sweet to sip, but not so great on
your waistline. Water is where it’s at! Now doesn’t that sound fun! Well…..enjoy
your holiday and drink safely my friends.
