As I write this post, Boulder has been covered in a blanket of white, glistening snow signaling that it is once again that time of year where there’s a party almost every day. Yes, the holidays are upon us and thus my annual battle to maintain a healthy diet has begun. Even if you have no food allergies, it is nearly impossible to eat a 100% healthy diet all the time and it is especially hard during the holiday season, which pretty much lasts from Thanksgiving through New Year’s. (Okay, for some of us Halloween actually kicks off the challenge)
There are sweets around every corner. You have office parties, cookie decorating gatherings, and the seemingly endless flow of friends and neighbors dropping by with plates of homemade holiday treats. You find yourself wishing that New Year’s Eve would get here already so you don’t have to deal with the insensitivity! Unless you become a hermit during the holidays, it really can be hard to escape the onslaught of celebratory deliciousness.
