Happy Hanukkah!!

Happy Kwanzaa!!

Happy Boxing Day!!

Happy Winter Solstice!!

Whatever you are Celebrating, make the most of it! I personally intend to enjoy every second - and that being without junk food. I will have a great time being in the company of my loved ones. Nothing is better.

Personally, I am celebrating Christmas and the New Year. And, I too plan on enjoying every minute of it.

I'm hosting a small dinner on Christmas Eve with my kids and in-laws. We are having porkloin (being "good" on that point). I also plan on making a lower-fat/calorie version of "cheesecake". I cannot remember what site I got it off of, but it sounds good. Can't wait for a small slice of this junk food:

Ingredients:

• 10 Small sugar free Candy Canes or Peppermint Disks
• 1 Deep Dish Graham Cracker Crust
• 2 - 8 Oz. Fat Free Cream cheese, Softened
• 1 - 8 Oz. Light Sour Cream
• 1 - 9 Oz. Light Whipped Topping
• 1 T. vanilla
• 1 t. Peppermint Extract

Directions:

1. First take your candy canes & unwrap them and place in food processor.....grind till they are about powder (a few larger pieces are OK )
2. Remove from processor and set aside.
3. Add cream cheese in food processer (Don't wash after you take peppermint powder out!). Turn on and blend till creamy.
4. Add sour cream, vanilla, and extract. Keep blending ... then add whip cream.
5. Take out about 2 T of candy and pour the rest into the filling.
6. Mix well and pour into pie shell.
7. Sprinkle with the remaining candy and refrigerate overnight.

8 servings.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all no matter what you celebrate ! It's still a peaceful time of year. . .

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year (or whatever other people are celebrating) everybody ! First Christmas that my focus will not be on food, and even though I'm doing the cooking on Christmas (just hubby and kids) and for New year for friends coming round I'm already enjoying spending time doing other things w my children, like decorations, watching movies, it's great and I feel fantastic, even though I can't and won't gorge on food and drink this year,I would have never thought that I would be so cool with it! Now i can truely relate to eat to live and not live to eat

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone! I hope everyone has a fantastic holiday -- I too am enjoying the holiday so far -- making cookies but not eating them who'd have thought that possible?? Having a big dinner on the 25th with a bunch of friends, potluck style so I'm just making the turkey. It will be nice. Hope everyone else is doing well!

Yes, I'm a Christmas celebrater (is that even a word? LOL) as well!

My brother and his Wife are hosting our Family dinner, so that's what we'll be doing this year. It will be great! On New Year we're cooking up our annual Black Eye Peas (yum!!) and some crab... (double yum!!)

I've had all my shopping done since Black Friday pretty much, with the exception of a few extra gifts bought here and there, so I'm ready to party! We're going to have a wonderful time!!! My favorite times are just enjoying family time and being together.

Mini, wow - that sounds delicious!! I just might have to make some and try a bite... hehe

I am reading this at work and completely burst out laughing. My team must think I'm nuts (well, at least this is further proof that I'm nuts) ... Thanks for the laugh.
