Lighten Up!

Each year the holiday season brings joy, stress, and increased eating as we  get overloaded with Thanksgiving leftovers, and shlep from family dinners to other eating-centric, obligatory gatherings. And what – we’re supposed to just sip seltzer water in the corner!?

I don’t enjoy having to watch what I eat, or reducing the amount of butter (or oil) I cook with, but I do like quality recipes that don’t sacrifice on flavor. I have put together a few of my favorites, but more importantly, I want to hear about yours.

For our November cookbook giveaway, we want to hear about your favorite, lightened-up dishes! Post your recipes below and the most interesting, holiday-themed (lite) recipe will win a copy of Susie Fishbein’s Kosher By Design Lightens Up. I am counting on your creativity to help us all get through this holiday season without having to buy a new wardrobe!
