With the holidays sneaking up on us fast, it’s time to start getting ready for family, festivities, fun and, well, food.
Here are three ways to keep your calories and health in check:
1. Eat. Do not wake up Thanksgiving morning and even think about skipping breakfast. Eating a healthy breakfast (or having your healthy juice - or both!) is a great way to ensure that you don’t over-do the more indulgent foods you might have later on that day.
2. Move. Before heading out for the festivities, take a Zumba class, participate in a Turkey-trot 5K, ride a bike, do some jumping jacks in the living room, pop in an exercise DVD — whatever it is, burn a few calories so those calories don’t burn you!
3. Contribute. If you’re in control of the meal then it’s time for you to start experimenting with healthier recipes for some of your favorite traditional recipes. If you’re visiting someone, then contribute to the meal by bringing a lightened-up side dish, fresh fruit or other healthier option.

If you’re looking for a tasty beverage without the artificial sweetners, power up your juicer and give this lemonade a try!
Fresh Country Lemonade
2 - 3 large peeled lemons
1 tablespoon of honey to sweeten (or sweetener of choice)
1/2 cup of water
Pour over crushed ice
Cheers!
PS: This recipe can be converted into an “adult cocktail.” Simply add the juice to a shaker of ice and add approx. 1.5 oz. of vodka - shake well and garnish with a lemon slice.

I am striving to provide a healthy lifestyle for myself and family. As such, I really am looking for ideas to move away from bringing excess candy into my home. Don’t get me wrong, an occasional treat is one thing but the last thing I need is bags and bags of candy in my home.
I loved the suggestions I found in this blog post from 100 Days of Real Food. The post is titled “20 Ways to do Halloween without candy!” It had some really great ideas in it.
For example you might give out:
By the way, I love the tangerine idea in the picture above (Source). Decorating them as little pumpkins is adorable and you can juice the leftovers!!
And what about all that candy that comes back to your house with your kids? We have our son pick out seven pieces of candy to keep (one piece per day for one week) and then my husband takes the rest to work and puts it in the break-room for everyone at his office to share.
Do you plan on doing something different for Halloween this year?
Do you do anything creative (besides eat it!) with your left-over candy?

I’ve personally been making a move towards eating a more plant based diet for a few years now. I am not completely vegetarian but that might be just a matter of time. We’ll see.
If you’ve considered going vegetarian for health or social reasons then you probably have some questions.
When making such a lifestyle decision you should consider the following:
By the way, you don’t have to go 100% vegetarian all at once. Many people ease into it by doing a few meatless days a week.
Are you a vegetarian?
What advice would you give others interested in the vegetarian lifestyle?
