15 Healthy Homemade Christmas Treats
Okay, now that December is here, I think it’s safe to say we can all start getting in the holiday spirit.
There is nothing that quite lifts my spirits like planning and making for all of the scrumptious holiday treats we’ll get to enjoy.
That being said, this time of year can be an overload of decadence and can throw us way off track in our commitment to good health choices… especially when it comes to sugar!
Not to worry though, you can still find a host of amazing treats to whip up this holiday season, and I’ve got a few ideas up my sleeve to share with you here.
