With so many processed foods available we can become complacent in our nutritional daily self awareness.

Then, when it comes to holiday meals, we can continue this pattern by using fresh fruits and veggies on our menu.  Simply being sure to include a lot of colorful veggies means that we will also be getting a mix of phytonutrients and modulators.  The antioxidant activity of the veggies combined with healthy spices can at least counterbalance some of the extra sugar we sneak onto our holiday plates.
