Its that time of year again. Time to break out grandma’s favorite recipes, dust off the cookbooks and build our holiday cooking and baking shopping list.
Most people don’t want to think about eating healthy during the holidays. There is just too much tasty treats and mouth-watering meals to indulge in to worry about eating healthy. That sort of takes all the fun out of it. Ha Ha.
Eating healthierdoes not mean you have to skimp on great tasting foods. Just by swapping out a few ingredients for more healthier options can make all the difference, and you won’t have to sacrifice on enjoying great tasting foods. For example, you can still enjoy lasagna, but why not toss in a few spinach leaves. You will barely last the spinach and you’ll be able to benefit from this healthy and nutritious food.
You can even swap out an appetizer for a nice, big, green salad instead. Its so easy to “tweak” a recipe or two, or swap out something simple like an appetizer, for a healthier option.
Olivia’s Organics wants to learn more about your healthy recipe ideas for the holidays. The winner will receive a year’s worth of free Olivia’s Organics products in the form of 52 free product coupons. Its a prize package worth $200.00. Two runners up will receive $50 in product coupons.
Olivia’s Organics is ravenous for recipes that offer flavorful and healthy alternatives to traditional heavy holiday meals, from golden roasted turkey with lighter fixings, to putting a nutritious twist on grandma’s holiday casserole. In order to be considered, recipes must incorporate at least one of Olivia’s Organics fresh greens. The complete line of Olivia’s Organics Salads featuring: 50/50 blend, Baby Arugula, Asian Salad, Herb Salad, Baby or Crispy Romaine, Baby Spinach, Spring Mix, Sweet Baby Lettuce Blend and Italian Crunch.
Entering is really easy. Start by going to the Olivia’s Organics Facebook page and join the community http://www.facebook.com/pages/Olivias-Organics/268884081328?ref=ts. Be sure to say “Hello”. There you can learn more about Olivia’s Organics organic greens, think about new delicious and nutritious dishes to serve as part of your own holiday spread and create a Healthier Holiday Recipe.
