Looking for new ideas for your festive gatherings?
Want to upgrade traditional favorites to healthier options?
‘Tis the season to enjoy delicious food…here are some of our favorites. We hope they’ll become yours.
1. Baked Eggless Potato Pancakes
For those celebrating Hanukkah (and for those who just love potatoes), these traditional latkes are a treat.
2. Holiday Panettone
Panettone is an Italian holiday classic that makes a great alternative to fruitcake.
3. Pear-Cranberry Crumble
It’s not a pear tree, but pears are definitely the star in this delicious crumble.
4. Holiday Nog
What’s the holiday season without eggnog? And there’s nothing better than the taste of homemade.
5. Holiday Roast Game Hens
If you’re looking for a main course that will grab your guests’ attention, try these delicious roast game hens.
6. Sweet Potato Pie
Okay, maybe this one is really a Thanksgiving dish, but we love it so much that we want to eat it on Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Winter Solstice AND New Years’.
7. Nut Roast
A great option for non-meat eaters that still has a delicious holiday flavor.
8. Caramelized Portobello Onion Brisket
Here’s another vegan, gluten-free option that makes the most of decadent and hearty portobello mushrooms.
9. Confettied Lamb
Need we say more? The rich flavor of the lamb really comes out in this special occasion dish.
10. Homemade Whole Grain Bread
Start off your holiday meal with a healthy loaf of whole grain bread and some butter. Yum!
I have a long way to go too Fdkemp, what’s important is taking the first steps! Ihave over 3 stone to go but feeling positive.
Hi, Savedthroughgrace. Refined wheat should be avoided, but %100 whole wheat (or any grain) is fine.
I’m confused on the wheat in various recipes as I thought it was one of the five foods to never eat?
Hi, Pidge. Definitely a Mixed Green Salad, maybe our low-carb Creamy Cauliflower Mash or Pizza Pesto al Greco on the Cauliflower Pizza Crust and low-carb holiday mocktails to save up for a fun finger food dessert like Crispy Marshmallow Squares with some cut fruit.
I’m having friends over for a card game on Jan 3rd Sat nothing special, but cooking a turkey and what else should I have with it??

Hi, Terri, and welcome! We are neither, actually, but rather a global site.
