Menu Makeover: Christmas


This Christmas you can still splurge on warm, rich comfort foods that are good for the soul, but if you lighten up your menu just a tad, you'll be indulging in yummy eats that are good for the arteries, too. Your celebration can still be festive without all the fat and calories of the traditional meal.
