‘Tis the season for eggnog, Aunt Betty’s famous mashed potatoes, sugar cookies, and fruit cake (for the 3 people on earth that actually like fruit cake) … it’s also the season for gaining weight. The average person gains 7-10 pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. So how can we have our cake and eat it too? Well we could get in a quick workout each day, but the calories going out rarely exceed the calories going in. For instance, you can jog on a treadmill for 30 minutes and only have 3 oz of a cocktail or spin on a bike for 30 minutes and you can only enjoy 3/4 cup of egg nog or go on a walk for an hour and that will score you 2 buttered rolls on your plate. So we thought we would come up with some recipes that are still festive, but won’t pack on the pounds.
Peel eggs, slice in half, dump out yolk, scoop 1 Tablespoon into each half, keep chilled and serve!
These eggs will knock your stockings off, they are so good! Here are some more delicious recipes worth trying …
