The Dish on Healthy Holiday Eating from a Nutritionist

By Kelly A. Hammer

Pages:  1  2  3  4  5  

  • Prepare and freeze quick, healthy meals the week or two before the holiday rush.
  • Avoid the drive thru while out shopping and preparing for the holidays. Bring along an apple or banana, whole-grain cereal pieces or a snack mix of nuts and dried fruit for you and the kids.

    • Remember, healthy eating is about balance and moderation, not deprivation. Enjoy the holiday meal or Grandma's special pie, and mindfully balance it with more healthful food choices the next day.

    Pumpkin Cranberry Bread

    This holiday recipe uses healthy fruit purees instead of high-fat ingredients, resulting in what is sure to be a family favorite.

    2 cups whole-wheat flour
    1/3 cup light brown sugar
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
    1 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
    3/4 cup cooked mashed pumpkin or pumpkin puree
    1/4 cup apple of orange juice

    Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and pumpkin pie spice. Mix the remaining ingredients and stir together with the dry ingredients.

    Coat an 8x4-inch bread loaf pan with nonstick spray. Spread mixture evenly in the pan and bake at 350 degrees F for about 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes; invert the loaf onto a wire rack. May be served warm or cold.
