Happy Holidays! and Healthy Holiday Recipes

‘Tis the season, special time with family and friends. We set aside time to see friends, family, to communicate with those we love… and we can embrace healthy holiday recipes just like we embrace these healthy relationships.

Unfortunately, commercial interests have partnered this with the great “sugar fest” “cookie conundrum” “the Holiday 10”…

You know what I’m talking about. 😉

Every year my clients feel the strain and either call because they’ve, well, “relapsed” and feel awful, or stop calling because they don’t want to tell me that “visions of sugar-plums” got to their head; they feel awful and broke their resolve.

Honestly, it’s OK. My only real purpose is to help. And give you other options!

Going to a pot luck? Bring a healthy holiday recipe that becomes your dinner. Experiment with some of our more portable dishes like:

Southern Alaska Salmon Cakes

Apple Cider Glazed Baby Back Ribs

For the annual holiday Cookie Party — I want the award for “most healthy” so maybe one of these:

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chewy Brownies

No one says everything you’ve worked for has to be lost, or the Holidays have to be an energy rollercoaster. Give your body comfort food that will keep it going. And enjoy these days.

These recipes and researched-based information are my gift to help you enjoy the health and quality of life you've always wanted. Born of a need to help my Nutrition Response Testing clients answer the question: "What's there to eat?" this website is my community service to the world. What's Nutrition Response Testing? A completely non-invasive way of learning what is stressing the body to cause its symptoms, and developing the exact drug-free program that supports the body in fixing that problem. I also offer one-on-one nutritional coaching, group talks and am developing online programs to empower everyone with the knowledge to make healthy changes.
