Now back to our Christmas Tip!

Here's a few of my fave fruits ~
Every day I try to incorporate at least one of the above at each meal or snack. I find it easy to eat these healthy, tasty, and easy-to-carry-along-wherever-you-go fat burning goodies if you make them readily available to you and make it much more difficult to eat desserts and fattening sweets and snacks.
    Weeks ago I purchased 2 bags of Holidays Candies. Hershey Kisses. This is my daily portion!

Most of the time at my house, I don't buy or make foods that are not my friends and it is usually like finding a needle in a haystack to find anything unhealthy to eat around here. But there is ALWAYS fresh fruits, Seeds, & Nuts in the pantry, on the counter, the table, and in the fridge. Most nights you can even find a few of these on the night table by my bed. So, in the middle of the night, when the munchies come calling, I don't have an excuse to eat empty calories and wake up the next morning with a foodie hangover.

Oh and by the way, having fruit cake or pecan pie or berry cobbler doesn't really count as your HEALTHY fruits and nuts. Unless of course you leave out all the sugar and white flours and butter, shortenings, and heavy creams. So then without all that, you just might as well have regular fresh fruit, nuts, & seeds.
     But I really do love and occasionally have a slice of Razzleberry Pie, my new Favorite Dessert!
Of course, it is perfectly fine to have a small portion of anything within reason, but you really have to get the portion distortion dealt with and be fully committed to what is an actual serving size. You have to know what you are putting into your mouth. Guessing at the calories and fat grams just isn't the best way to get your weight off. Trust me on that!
Can you guess what the SECRET INGRDIENT is to my Pork Roast?
Did you say APPLES?
Apples it is!
This apple glazed Pork Roast is the most tender and juicy Pork Roast I have ever eaten. Just another reason to keep plenty of fresh fruits on hand for a number of delicious and healthy additions to your favorite recipes. Any time you can add fresh fruits to a meat, side dish, appetizer, dessert, or drink is to your healthy advantage!

FRUIT IS YOUR FRIEND!
YOU CAN HAVE YOUR FRUIT AND EAT IT TOO!
Cheesy comment, I know, but I just couldn't help myself!
