Healthy Holiday Recipes Thursday
I decided that I am going to write down some super healthy (but yummy) recipes that you can make for the holidays! That way, you will have something healthy to choose if you are worried about the calorie/fat content at holiday parties and such!
My first recipe comes from the Hungry Girl book: Hungry Girl: 200 Under 200: 200 Recipes Under 200 Calories
This one is called:
Fluffy Speckled Peanut Butter Dip:
1 Jell-O Sugar Free Vanilla Pudding Snack
3/4 cup Cool Whip Free, thawed
1/4 cup Reese’s Puffs cereal (original)
1 tbsp reduced-fat peanut butter, room temperature
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 no-calorie sweetener packet
Place cereal in a sealable plastic bag. Use a rolling pin or potato masher (or anything heavy) and crush the cereal until crumbs.
In a mixing bowl combine the rest of the ingredients until well mixed. Stir in cereal crumbs and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.
Serve and enjoy!
Serving Size: 2 heaping tablespoons

I’m not a stick thin model by any means but I do like to stay healthy. When the holidays come around I usually stay in big clothes and hide all the mirrors. After a recommendation from a co-worker, she told me to check out a nutritionist named Rose Cole. I went to her site http://www.RoseCole.com/HolidayCookbook and found some amazing recipes that are great tasting and healthy! I highly recommend you check it.
