Food Adventures 
Healthy for the Holidays 

The holidays are a great time to get together with friends and family - often by sharing a meal and enjoying tasty seasonal foods. 
Everyone has traditional recipes that they don't want to miss out on - even if it means taking in more fat, salt and sugar than is healthy. 
You don't have to give up all of your holiday favorites to stay on track this season! There are  healthy swaps that you can make in recipes and you can simply enjoy with mindful moderation.
Want to start a new tradition? Surprise your friends and family with a healthy salad that is both filling and delicious.
