‘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.
12 – hard-boiled eggs
24 Tablespoons – Green Chili hummus
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 …
Green Bean Casserole – Slimmed
Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Pomegranate and Hazelnuts
Secret Ingredient Dark Chocolate Brownies
Cheers, enjoy!!!
It’s that time of year where everyone gets together for a football and food frenzy. If you can’t be at the game, aim for the next best thing: watch the game with friends in the comfort of your own outdoor living room. So ditch the truck tailgate and fire up the grill in your backyard for a “pigskin” pregame party.
… just something to think about!
How ’bout something to wash it all down?
2/3 cup pineapple juice, chilled
1/3 cup vanilla flavored vodka
1 dash grenadine syrup
2 pineapple wedges
2 maraschino cherries
Pour the pineapple juice, vodka and grenadine into a shaker full of ice. Shake, then strain into two glasses. Garnish with a piece of pineapple and a cherry on a skewer!
In the past, we have had some problems with contractors. What they say and what they do are two different things. Not so with Texas Custom Patios. We knew what was going to happen, and when, and just as advertised, it happened. In three weeks, we had a 300 square foot addition to our house. We now have an outdoor media room and outdoor dining room and we LOVE IT.
