Nutritious holiday recipes and menus
Families are becoming more mindful when it comes to what to put on their dinner table (and into their bellies!). But as the end of the year draws nearer, healthy eating seems to go by the wayside.

Holiday parties, dinners away from home, and constant visits with family and friends all interrupt the healthy eating habits that had come so naturally before-hand. Coupled with colder weather (and a tendency to want to stay inside where it's warm) it's easy to see why so many Canadian women fear holiday weight-gain.

Canadian Living has compiled a list of our favourite holiday nutrition articles and advice, so the only thing to worry about is finding the perfect gift for your special someone! Let's get outside, Canada!
