Christmas Eve Tamales

Cooking Light saved one family's Christmas Eve tradition with a leaner cut of pork and a reduction in vegetable oil, changing the dish's nutritional make-up from a whopping 657 calories and 46.8 grams of fat per serving to a manageable 344 calories and 7.4 grams of fat. You can serve leaner cuts of meat at your own table by choosing center-cut or loin meats and making sure that you trim away any excess fat.
