10 Pounds-a-Packing

Dinner dilemma: If I want to get in that little black dress for parties this season, there’s no way I can serve traditional holiday fare. With all the butter and bread, I always feel like I’ve gained 10 pounds in one day. I need to go ahead and program Jenny Craig’s number in my phone.

Holiday help: Before you call Jenny, there are healthier versions of traditional recipes that cut way back on the fat and calories. (See Cooking Light’s Ultimate Holiday Cookbook .) And remember portion control...just because your hubby goes back for seconds and thirds, doesn’t mean you have to. Now reward yourself by celebrating in that little black dress!
