Proposing a toast to family and friends is traditional during celebrations at festive holiday feasts. Asking for good health for those who love is a true service, if our actions “speak” as wel{ as our words.

There may be a way to “have our cake,” and even to eat it, if we become more aware of what is in it.

“Holidays are wonderful times for cooking, baking and entertaining. Yet in these times of health consciousness, fitness and wellness, we may need to rethink what we eat and serve and give to others.

“Many families have at least one person on a special diet such as low-sodium, low fat and cholesterol, low-calorie or diabetic. People are seeking ways to enjoy and participate in the holiday festivities without over indulging.

“These days the ‘in’ way to entertain is to offer healthy foods. Even our favorite traditional recipes can be modified or ‘trimmed down’ by substituting ingriedents that we know are better for health, whenever possible, in our regular recipes. ” '
