4 Tips for Holiday Entertaining

Print

By Letty Holmbo, MBA, RD, LD My H-E-B Texas Life Chef
Healthy Entertaining Holidays center around friends, family, and of course, food! Here are some suggestions on how to entertain the healthy way!

Make Recipe Substitutions
If you love to bake, trim your recipes to make them a little healthier. Use applesauce in place of shortening or oil, artificial sweeteners in place of sugar and 1/4 cup of H-E-B Real Eggs for each egg. Simple swaps cut calories without cutting taste.

Hostess Gift Ideas
Bring the hostess an assortment of dried fruit and nuts, fruit baskets, unique olive oils, Cocinaware® cooking items or distinct H-E-B salsa varieties paired with baked tortilla chips.


Snack Before the Party
Showing up to a party hungry sets you up for overeating. Instead, have a nutritious snack such as yogurt, whole-grain crackers with low-fat cheese and fruit with peanut butter. Remember, conversation is calorie-free, so spend time catching up with friends and family instead of hanging out at the appetizer table. Laughter is a great way to burn calories!


Exercise Portion Control
Go ahead and enjoy your holiday favorites, but beware of calories and fat in each dish. Don't overindulge. Have those mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie but watch the portion sizes.
