Don't Fall into Temptation

We all know that worst time for a diet is during the holidays.  You’re not the only one struggling!  WebMD, weight lose clinic, gives 10 pointers on how to manage your weight during the holidays.  In this article it acknowledges that when people socialize food and drinks are involved but having a plan will help you not go overboard.  My weakness will be cutting back on alcohol and not splurging.   The last paragraph of this article it said not to beat yourself up if you don’t do great on your diet, get back to your normal routine after the holiday’s.  Whew, good thing because I was already beating myself up!

If you are cooking for the holidays, check out some healthy dishes for you and your guests.  I usually bring a veggie or fruit platter to our family gathering but this year I’m going to try to make a healthy dessert.   To take away any temptation I’ll just make something I don’t like.  If I don’t like it, I will not be tempted.  My husband loves rice pudding but the texture bothers me.  I’m more of a chocolate cake kind of girl.  Here is a recipe I found that is worth trying and shows step by step how to make it.  It’s so easy even I can make it!
