On this, the midpoint of our 30-day journey, I take a break from all of this fabulous food and drink to gently guide you to my top ten tips for eating healthfully during the holidays. And by that, I mean making choices that allow you to indulge in a way that lets you avoid making that tired resolution to lose weight come January.
I do want to be clear that far from a sad little list of “Do This!” and “Don’t Do That!,” mine takes a positive approach by providing strategies of how to enjoy. Is is, after all, the holidays—and I’m just as much about the food as you are. (Obviously, given my list above.) And I follow all of these tips, too. Which are currently inspiring me to make sure I get to the gym today since I blew it off last night to go out drinking. True story.

This month I’m sharing my “best of” recipes and tips to help you celebrate the holidays healthfully and happily. The menu features all of the fare that is a regular part of Cooking & Eating the PK Way but is special enough for a holiday table. My philosophy is built upon the fundamentals of nutrition as shown in Harvard’s Healthy Eating Plate, yet the food-loving PK Way features my flair for global flavors—and a tantalizing taste of moderation. Because healthy food shouldn’t suck.
