Most of us eat "well" during the holidays, but many of us don't eat "healthy." It's hard with so much in-your-face temptation. Holiday parties, sweets at every turn, and big holiday meals leave us desperate to reverse the damage come New Years Day. So this holiday season, instead of feeling guilty with every bite you eat, try my nutritious alternatives to less-healthy traditional holiday fare. These recipes showcase great seasonal fruits like pomegranate, persimmon, and tangerine, kick butter to the curb, and give white flour and sugar the old heave-ho! Best of all, they'll leave you feeling good come '07, and are delicious and festive enough to serve to Mr. Claus himself!
