Eat, Drink, and be Merry

It’s Christmas, eat, drink, and be merry. Part of the joy of the holidays is the foods that are made just for this time of year. Some of the fun would be lost if you could not eat them. Just do not eat and drink yourself into oblivion for the next two weeks. In fact, you will be merry if you eat and drink whatever your want December 24 and 25 and then go back to paying attention December 26.

Food is one of the pleasures of life. If you deny yourself some of that pleasure, you will not be merry and you will binge the moment you put your guard down. I have done that too many times to count. So partake of the special treats, just do not use it as a license to eat without thought until Valentine’s Day.

Let’s Cook Tonight® teaches a common sense approach to eating. If you use your head and enjoy the goodies in moderation, you will be merry all year.

Cooking is easier than you think and you are worth the time and effort it takes.

Simple cooking substitution: A one-ounce square of unsweetened baking chocolate = 3 tablespoons baking cocoa + 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
