Eat Right Daily

December is just around the bend and we will be doing some Christmas recipes! Some healthy ones, some we think you should splurge with and some that are just plain fun to make! Christmas is a time for sharing and appreciating what you have. What you can give and the gifts you can think of to bring other people joy in their lives.

This is my favorite time of year. The music, decorations, feelings, and smells are all something that are fantastic and I look forward to them. So, I am very excited for this December to share the awesome recipes we find with all of you!

Since you are here, you are eating right and getting your health together. Once you get your health together then you will want to find someone to share it with, if you don't already have someone. That is where free personals come in quite handy! At Datehookup.com you can sign up for a free account to meet other singles. I signed up and at the end of the sign up you fill in all of your "about you" stuff. What I enjoyed is that they are all drop down boxes and you do not have to scroll down the pages like other sites. I looked up the people in my surrounding areas and came up with more than 25 pages of people! A lot of them are really good looking too! I can just imagine what the other cities have listed in theirs!

This Thanksgiving we are doing things differently at my house. Everyone is old enough to pitch in and help cook the dinner so everyone has a different dish that they are preparing. Even my 8 year old brother is doing a dish. I have to come up with a dish of my own to do and since all the regular ones are taken, and I do not want to end up having the rolls (just put em in the oven...easy) I am trying to see what recipes are out there that are healthy and good. So, here is one that seems to be a good one. I don't know if the store we go to has Brussel Sprouts though...

INGREDIENTS

- 1 tbls. Canola Oil
- 1 large red onion, sliced thin
- 1 lb. Brussels Sprouts, rinse and slice in half from stem to top
- 1.5 tbls. unsalted butter
- 4 tbls. (or to taste) balsamic vinegar

DIRECTIONS

1. In the largest, preferably well-seasoned cast iron skillet you have, saute the red onions in the canola oil until they carmelize (they will reduce down to a small mass). Empty into bowl.

2. Add butter to skillet, and place sprouts, cut-side down, in the butter over medium high-heat to brown them (depending on the size of the skillet, you may need to break up this process into 2-4 batches - split butter to accommodate this).

3. When all sprouts are well-browned, add onions back to pan, and add vinegar. Cover immediately to catch steam and steam until sprouts are tender but not mushy - about 5 minutes.

I am a sucker for yams and they have a lot of calories and fat in them. So again, eat better america came up with a healthy version of yams.



INGREDIENTS

- 3 large sweet potatoes or yams
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon grated orange peel
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Coat a 9” x 9” baking dish with cooking spray.

2. Brown butter in a small skillet over medium heat, swirling the skillet, until butter turns a nutty color. Remove from the heat and set aside.

3. Peel sweet potatoes or yams, cut in half lengthwise, and then into 1/2”-thick slices. Place in the prepared baking dish. Pour orange juice over sweet potatoes or yams. Sprinkle with orange peel, salt, nutmeg, and pepper. Top with brown sugar and browned butter. Cover and bake 40 to 45 minutes, or until sweet potatoes or yams are crisp-tender. Uncover and cook 12 to 15 minutes, or until juices are almost absorbed.
