Let me know if you give one of these recipes a try and how you liked it! I have had lots of fun creating them and putting together the menu ideas for the holiday celebrations! As a registered dietitian nutritionist working in Asheville, NC, I love helping family, friends and my clients stay healthy by the foods they eat. During the holidays healthy food can taste as delicious as the less healthy choices!

Hope that you have a wonderful holiday season and stay tuned for some of my other holiday ideas coming in the next several weeks! Here is a food styling picture my granddaughter created for me that her mom sent me on my phone! I had to share it with you! For many of us the holidays can be a tough time of year, but when love and kindness are shared, it makes all the difference in the world! This holiday season, I hope to spread as much positive as I can! I hope that you will join with me!

Nothing warms a grandmother’s heart more than this sweet picture from my granddaughter.
