Tips on how to holiday proof your diet

Though Devour is the name of this blog, “devouring” (over the holidays especially) can sometimes throw you off your healthy eating track. While flipping through Fitness Magazine at the nail salon yesterday, I found this article on how to party proof your diet over the holidays. If you’re anything like me, you may have also answered yes to every question they asked in this article: do you tend to drink excess eggnog at holiday parties? Yes. Do you consider a bounty of cookies from a cookie exchange party your DINNER? Yes. Who knows if these tips have any merit, but thought I would pass it along!

How to party proof your diet

Cheese Stuffed Whole Pumpkin

One of my favorite food shows on television is the Platelist segment on ABC’s Nightline. It doesn’t air every night or even every week. But every month or so, Platelist features chefs from around the country and gives you a peek inside their kitchen and into their cuisine.

In honor of the start of fall, I thought I would share a link to one of the past episodes that I really enjoyed.  In this episode, Daniel Boulud stuffs and bakes an entire pumpkin! http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/Platelist/recipes-daniel-bouluds-gratin-stuffed-pumpkin/story?id=6324270&page=1   What a cool dish!

Browse through the rest of the Platelist website for other videos and recipes from top chefs!
