Nutrition, Food Safety and Health Agent
Many favorite holiday entrees, sides, and desserts are filled with added fat, sugar, and sodium. There’s good news though, we can do something about it! Focus on the healthy “star” ingredient of each dish and cut out the extras that usually bring on the added unnecessary calories. For example, there is a recipe featured in this newsletter for a fall apple crisp. Compare the nutrition facts with a traditional apple pie and you save 180 calories, 11 fat grams and 18 carbohydrates per serving!
