I discovered in my " let it be " holiday, a great site for recipes

called www.myrecipes.com

I loved using it because it let me search by all SORTS of categories

AND, they warehouse virtually all recipes from Cooking Light and

Southern Living -- two of my favorite sources.

Great way to enhance the joy of cooking while maintaining healthy

choices. I mixed a lot of things for my Christmas Menus -- all but

two from this site!

Thought I'd put my menus out in case anyone wants to try them

*********************************

Christmas Eve Dinner:

Appetizer: Carrot Soup -- (cooking light via myrecipes.com)so light

and delish. I put in dollop of greek yogurt and chives before serving

to up protein and give it tang and panache!

Herb Encrusted Standing Rib Roast (Publix apron recipes) -- nothing

light about it, but had small serving, used leftovers in small

chopped pieces on whole grain crostini with asparagus topped with lo-

fat cheese and run under broiler for Boxing Day party)

Twice-baked potatoes (cooking light via myrecipes.com). Recipe made

too many, so kept the left overs, sliced them into bite-size pieces,

heated and served as appetizer bites for Boxing Day party!

Fresh Steamed Asparagus (my favorite green, used leftovers in above

crostini recipe)

Fresh Steamed English Peas (hubby's favorite " psuedo " green :-) )

Orange-Almond Shortbread (personal recipe -- so rich, one piece is

all you need or want -- rest was served at Boxing Day party)

*********************************

Christmas Day Brunch:

Ham and Gruyere Strata -- lightened with with lo-fat swiss and

canadian bacon (cooking light via myrecipes.com), will use whole

grain bread next time -- I think it needs it!

Personal " ambrosia " recipe (scoop out two oranges to get pulp and

juice, add 2 chopped bananas, grate one large sour apple in in --

mix; mash a few raspberries (5-10) and stir in to give pinkish tint

to the mix, then LIGHTLY fold in more rasperries (rest of container) -

- made two pretty breakfast cup size servings with two left over)

Pumpkin bread also from cooking light via myrecipes.com -- added

dried cranberries instead of raisins for even more antioxidants (much

left over for Boxing Day party)

*************************************

Thought I'd share -- I've rediscovered JOY in cooking and flavors and

finding BALANCE in mixing recipes -- and where I have something rich,

I balance with light and fresh and portion appropriately.

Hubby LOVED IT ALL!!! Hope you will too!
