The presents are opened and the holiday gatherings are mostly behind us. I’m guessing you might have a few leftovers hanging around—like maybe some Christmas cookies and fudge?
When you have all of that good stuff staring at you it’s pretty difficult not to eat it, right? I mean it may be another year before you get another chance to eat Aunt Mary’s pizzelles or your mom’s fudge. You’ve already decided you’re going to eat better, start working out, and drop those extra pounds in 2015—so why not indulge yourself and totally enjoy the rest of December?
Well, you could. Or you could also choose to begin making changes right now. Just take some small steps, like giving away those leftover sweets! Give them to your neighbors or take them to the office—just get them out of the house! Yeah, you could freeze them—but having the microwave right there makes it all too easy. Better to remove them all together!
If you want to ease into it—make a healthy paleo dessert that you can eat when you want something sweet. If you’ve been eating sugar over the holidays chances are you’re probably craving sweets right now. But you can get yourself off of that blood sugar rollercoaster by getting some good fats and protein in your diet—and cutting out the sugar.
Today I made a batch of the Paleo Brownies that I shared with you in October. If you missed the recipe here’s the link: http://elanaspantry.com/paleo-brownies/ I spread raw walnuts on the top and pressed them into the batter before I baked them…yum!
