‘Tis the season
Pop the cork and hand me a glass. It’s the holiday season—time to eat, drink and be merry.
Despite Grandma’s malfunctioning hearing aid and Uncle Jimmy’s funny albeit inappropriate jokes, we minded our P’s and Q’s and survived Thanksgiving, pumpkin pie and all. But the holiday joy has just begun. Oh yes, kwana-hanukkah-xmas is looming ahead. And that means more merry making. I like to call this point in time the holiday holding pattern. While we indulged during last weekend’s festivities, we know that we have some time in between now and the next holiday smorgasbord to monitor our intake of food and drink…so come the end of December, we can eat our pecan pie (bar any seasonal pecan shortages, of course) AND feel okay about it.
But this doesn’t mean we have to shun all good things. Nay, instead take this in-between time to practice a little rational indulgence. To that end, here are some healthy vino tid bits and sensible yet enjoyable recipes that don’t skimp on deliciousness.
With a little grit and determination, you’ll be fa la la la la-ing all the way to the next holiday.
