Simplify the Holidays in a Healthy Way (recipes as seen on NBC 10! Show)

The time and energy crunch of the holidays are upon us. This usually means more stress and more sugar to keep us going. Below are three quick, simple no-sugar, holiday recipes that you can also use as gift ideas for family and friends. They are the perfect guilt and stress free solution!

To get more information on these recipes and the health benefits, check out my NBC segment under Media. It will be posted as soon as it is available. I also highlight decadent naturally sugar-free fudge. That recipe is posted on a separate blog entry. It's just as scandously delicious!
