The holiday season is upon us! With that comes the desire to splurge on sweets and baked goods. However, keep in mind that there are many alternatives out there that can taste great and NOT contribute to yucky holiday weight gain. I will be posting recipes over the next month to help you stay on track with your weight loss goals and still enjoy yummy foods with your family.
