Happy Holiday Swaps!

Lighter holiday recipes start with lighter ingredients. I've listed a few of my go-to swaps that don't compromise flavor or texture!

Replace oil in your favorite cakes and breads with unsweetened applesauce

Greek yogurt seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and basil is a great sub for creamy dressings and dips

Craving soda? Sparkling water (made with real fruit flavors or add some of your own fruit) and club soda give you the fizz you crave with none of the sugar! Bonus: They are just as hydrating as water.

Ditch the traditional apple cider loaded with added sugar and combine unsweetened apple juice with cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Heat it up for extra flavor boost!
