eat,drink and have a Healthy Merry CHRISTMAS with SPLENDA

Christmas they say is the most commercialized holiday in the world. It has transcended culture and religion that people celebrate it for reasons other than religious. But we in the Philippines celebrate Christmas not just for commercial purposes.For us,it means more---- family-get-together,love,giving,and the birth of Jesus.

With the Philippines having the longest Christmas in the world, expect a lot of merrymaking. And that means a lot of food on the table---sweets, fats abound. This is the time of the year when the word 'dieting' is thrown out of the vocabulary of most people. It’s simply too hard to resist. I am lucky I'm not the easy-to-get-fat type but it still pays to check what one is eating. The challenge therefore is how to eat,drink and be merry during Christmas Season and still not sacrifice you health.

Since I always spend Christmas with my family,the food that we prepare are basically representative of the favourites of each member.Mine is fruit salad, my brother loves leche flan and my sister would not allow not having Maja Blanca around.
