I love to bake. Deep Dish pizza and chocolate chip cookies are two of my favorites and during the holidays I love to make all kinds of cookies and candy. It is all wrapped up in family tradition. It would be impossible to give up entirely, because it would disappoint my family. What do I do?
No no no, traditiions should not be given up. But perhaps gradually, make little adjustments to the recipes and lighten up on the portion sizes, and of course, account for at least some of it in your daily plan.
For example, maybe you can mix some high-quality flours in with the white, bake with canola, olive, and nut oils, sub some of the sugars with xylitol, etc.
And remember – food preparation can be MOST of the fun, along with watching your loved ones enjoy it. It doesn’t mean you must eat the usual large amounts to make it a holiday.
