THE ANNOUNCEMENT!
The holidays are here, can you believe it?? Christmas is less than one month away and it's time to start our holiday food planning! What family will be coming in to town? What parties will I be attending? Am I to host any get-togethers? Christmas dinner -- what will we eat? Is anyone on the Advanced Plan? Anyone with food allergies? What foods can I made in advance and freeze for later? There's a lot to do! The time to start planning is now, and I am here to help.
I have put together an e-book solely dedicated to the holidays, called Season's Eatings. Not only is it a recipe book, but a complete menu planner taking you from appetizers to dinner to desserts. (View recipe list here.) All 62 recipes follow the Maximized Living Nutrition Plans, making it effortless to dine on the Advanced Plan.
After talking with a family about what they enjoyed for their Thanksgiving feast, I was shocked to hear Mom and Dad's response. They were feeling so overwhelmed with finding Advanced Plan recipes that would feed the family and still taste good, so they gave up and fixed their usual spread of conventional holiday recipes. Here's the clincher: the last thing you want to do is re-introduce sugar over such a stressful time of year. This is just asking for immune system weakness, allowing sickness and disease to form in the body. Keep yourself and your family healthy thru the holidays with a clean spread of holiday meals (Sugar-Free, Grain-Free, Dairy-Free, Soy-Free, Corn-Free, Gluten-Free). This is exactly why I created Season's Eatings holiday e-book, to help Maximized Living families have easy and satisfying holidays!!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday tune right now is Angels We Have Heard on High sung by the Indigo Girls. It's even better with my four year old singing along. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday song is anything sung by Celine Dion or Josh Grobin. Yes, I'm quite a geek.
ReplyDeleteHi Elise. I love so many Christmastime songs, but the one that comes to mind today is O Holy Night. Just love the crescendo rising to "Fall on your knees."
ReplyDeleteThanks VERY MUCH again for all you do.
Hi Elise! I posted a link on Facebook. I love your site!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas song is O Holy Night also! Merry Christmas from the your friend at the MTFund!

I love Angels we have heard on High and for my favourite commercial Christmas song, it would have to be Silver Bells.
I haven't forgotten about sending you the pics of the "chocolate covered kiddies" Your chocolate pudding has taken over our home by storm!
Lots of love,
