(ARA) - Holidays are a great time to celebrate

traditions with family and friends, and every

family has unique activities they love to observe
year after year. You can incorporate new traditions
into the holidays to bring more memorable fun
to your gatherings. Here are some simple tips
for creating meaningful new traditions that can
bring joy to your holidays every year.
* Organize a visit from Santa. Encourage your
family or friends to come over for a potluck
breakfast or lunch. As the festivities get into full
swing, invite Santa to join in the fun. Organize
goodie bags for children to take home from
Santa. Don't forget to have a camera on hand to
capture the children's special moments.
* Build a gingerbread house with your family.
Roll up your sleeves, start your oven and put
your architecture skills to the test. Decorate
the house with each family member's favorite
candies in all colors. Adorn the lawn with
Archway Gingerbread Men, which can be easily
decorated with icing and candy buttons.
* Draw names and trade inexpensive gifts. You
can turn this into a secret Santa exchange, or for
a little more fun and hilarity, turn the exchange
into a white elephant party, where participants
are allowed to "steal" inexpensive gifts from one
another. Your party doesn't have to only involve
your local friends and family. Invite your friends
from all over the country to participate in a gift
exchange via Skype or email - it's a great way to
have something fun pop up in your mailbox over
the holiday season.
* Cookies are a part
of many holiday
traditions. In fact,
a recent holiday
survey conducted
by Archway found
that cookies are
a part of more
than 80 percent
of respondents'
traditions each
year. Incorporate
cookies into new
traditions by
hosting a cookie
exchange with
your coworkers,
neighbors, family
members or
friends. Use a mix
of homemade and
favorite Archway
holiday cookies
such as Bells and
Stars, which are
back by popular demand for the 2011 holiday
season.
* Give back to your community. Volunteer at a
local soup kitchen. Sing holiday carols in nursing
homes and senior centers. Organize
a food drive for your local food
bank. Have young children go
through their toys and pick one
or two to donate to a local shelter.
This will help children participate
in the joy of giving. There are a
lot of ways you and your family
can help others. You might decide
to do the same thing each year or
come up with new ways to give
back.
* Create a video or online photo
album. This tradition is especially
poignant for families with loved
ones who are away for the season
and unable to attend the family
celebrations (for example, families
with someone in the military).
Set up a video camera and have
everyone share a message for
the absent loved one. Take lots
of photos during your holiday
celebrations and create a photo
album online that can be accessed
by those who are not present.
Traditions help provide connection
and predictability, which people -
especially children - crave. And they're a lot of
fun. Just remember that whatever you decide to
do, be sure to add your own fair and creativity
to make the tradition truly one to remember.

(ARA) - The holidays can be difficult for people
watching their diet. For those with health
issues such as diabetes, the dietary minefield
of holiday temptations can be especially
troublesome.
In the United States, 8.3 percent of the population
(nearly 26 million adults and children) has
diabetes, according to the American Diabetes
Association. For these people, the usual holiday
indulgences of sweets and rich foods can pose
a serious health risk.
"People with diabetes must make significant
dietary changes in order to manage their
disease," says Dr. Donald Hensrud, preventive
medicine and nutrition expert from
Mayo Clinic . Dr. Hensrud is the
medical editor-in-chief for the
new "The Mayo Clinic Diabetes
Diet." "Managing diabetes
through diet isn't a fad; it's about
changing your habits for the
better."
Americans gain an average of just
one pound over the holidays (far
less than colloquial estimates)
but most also keep that extra
pound, according to a joint
study by the National Institute
of Child Health and Human
Development (NICHD) and the
National Institute of Diabetes and
Digestive and Kidney Diseases
(NIDDK). Over the years, those
pounds add up, and collectively,
it's fueling America's obesity
epidemic.
"Family history, being
overweight, inactivity, a poor
diet - these are the reasons why
millions of Americans have
diabetes or are at risk," Dr.
Hensrud writes in the introduction
to "The Mayo Clinic Diabetes
Diet." "Weight loss can reverse
the physical process that causes
diabetes, and the effect can be
dramatic."
If you or a loved one has diabetes,
here's some advice from "The
Mayo Clinic Diabetes Diet," to
help you stay on track through
the holidays:
At a party
The hors d'oeuvres table is
a downfall for many of us,
especially during the holidays when we
are presented with treats that we don't see
throughout the rest of the year. Depriving
yourself entirely can make cravings worse and
increase your risk of binging.
So approach the hors d'oeuvres with these
strategies:
* Make just one trip to the table and be selective.
Decide ahead of time how much you'll eat and
choose only the foods that you really want.
* Treat yourself with one or two samples of
high-calorie or fatty foods, and then fill up on
fruits and veggies.
* Take small portions. You may be able to
satisfy your cravings with a small taste.
* Eat slowly and you'll likely eat less.
* Don't stay near the food all night. As the
saying goes, "out of sight, out of mind."
* Eat something healthy before you arrive so
that you won't be as hungry. Being hungry will
make you more prone to overeating.
If you fall off the wagon
It's the holidays, and chances are you'll overeat
at some point. It's very difficult to resist
temptation all the time. A minor slip isn't the
end of the world, but it can turn into a bigger
problem if you view it as an excuse to give up
altogether.
If you have a lapse, consider these tips to help
get you back on track:
* Convince yourself that every day is a fresh
opportunity to start over again.
* Have a plan to deal with lapses.
* Keep your response simple. Focus on the
things you know you can do and stick to them.
"Good lifestyle habits, like losing weight, give
you the best chance to treat your diabetes and
prevent health complications," Dr. Hensrud
says. "Losing weight takes work and planning,
but the rewards are great. With the right
attitude, you can have fun and feel great while
adding years to your life."

(ARA) - 'Tis the season for delicious treats and
festive gatherings. The fun of baking, sharing
recipes and getting together for holiday parties,
such as a cookie exchange, are what make the
season extra special.
Inspired by their more than 40 years of collective
baking and entertaining experience, Hershey's
Kitchens Linda Stahl and Betty Crocker Kitchens
Kristen Olson will share advice through a weekly
blog on FavoriteCookies.com as well as provide
recipes, cookie exchange tips and give holiday
hosts the chance to share recipes and photos
with each other.
For those looking to create the ultimate cookie
exchange, Stahl and Olson offer the following
tips to turn any party into a sweet success:
* Invite guests at least two weeks in advance and
ask each guest to RSVP with the recipe they plan
to make to avoid duplicates.
* Ask each guest to bring at least a half dozen
cookies for each person attending the party.
* Encourage participants to bring an empty,
sealable container to take home goodies, along
with copies of their recipe to share. Be sure to
have extra bags or containers on hand for guests
to transport cookies home.
* Make it personal - showcase the cookies in a
decorative arrangement and ask each participant
to introduce themselves and explain why they
chose their recipe and what ingredients they
used.
* Be sure to offer refreshments, such as seasonal
beverages, but keep it simple so the cookies are
the stars of the show.
* Send guests home with a goodie bag flled with
a homemade recipe booklet you've created to
commemorate your party. Ask for participants'
recipes in advance so you can prepare.
Can't decide what holiday cookie you should
make as the host? Try the classic Peanut Butter
Blossoms.
Peanut Butter Blossoms
Makes about three dozen cookies
Ingredients:
36 Hershey's Kisses Brand Milk Chocolates
1 pouch Betty Crocker Peanut Butter Cookie
Mix
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon water
1 egg
Granulated sugar
Directions:
Heat oven to 375 F. Remove wrappers from
chocolates. Stir cookie mix, oil, water, and egg
in a medium bowl until soft dough forms. Shape
dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in granulated sugar;
place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake eight to
10 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately
press a chocolate into center of each cookie;
cookie will crack around edges. Remove from
cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.

(ARA) - Gathering with friends and family
for special meals is a beloved part of the fall
and winter holidays. Spending time preparing
dishes that everyone looks forward to somehow
feels less like a chore and more like a tradition
during this time of year. And, of course, you
don't want anyone to go away hungry, so the
amount of food that comes out of your kitchen
is usually nothing short of monumental.
Even if you send packages home with guests,
it's inevitable that you will have leftovers. You
might even have enough for a few days' worth
of meals. But eating the same dishes day after
day gets old quickly. Instead of letting your
menu get stale, rethink the concept of leftovers.
Rather than viewing leftovers as a finished
dish, consider these foods as ingredients for
delicious new entrees.
When you find yourself staring down a
refrigerator full of holiday leftovers, use these
tips to transform these dishes into new meals
your family will love.
* The centerpiece of many of those holiday
meals is often a turkey, and there's nothing
quite as lovely as a golden brown bird ready for
carving. One simple tip can make your turkey
taste better on the day of the celebration - and
as leftovers. As you're seasoning the turkey
prior to roasting, spread on Hellmann's(R)
Real Mayonnaise for a juicy, crispy, flavorful
meal.
* Mashed potatoes are a universally loved side
dish during the holidays. They can warm up
even the coldest days and make any meal more
comforting. With the extra helpings left from
your holiday-sized batch of mashers, make your
own interpretation of shepherd's pie. Mix the
vegetables and meat of your choice with herbs,
salt and pepper to taste before adding them to
a baking dish or casserole. Top the mixture
with mashed potatoes (and a few small dabs
of butter), and bake until warmed through. If
your potatoes have gotten a bit stiff, add a bit
of cream or milk to soften them up.
* Whether you know it as "dressing" or
"stuffing," the dish is a staple of the cold weather
holidays. Regional naming differences aside,
it's a versatile leftover that should be praised
as much on the day after your celebration as the
day of. These rich,
herbal flavors pair
exceptionally well
with pork, so use
it (or reuse it) to
create delectable
stuffed pork
chops.
* The sweet-tart
taste of cranberry
relish is great with
turkey, but you
can also add it to
sweeter dishes for
a different spin.
Get started the very
next morning after
your gathering
by heating up a
griddle for crepes
or pancakes. Mash
your cranberries
to a more jam-like
texture to use as a
zingy topping on
whichever kind of
griddle cake you
prefer.
Your loved ones
will certainly
appreciate your
efforts to make
the holidays
delicious, but the
praise will go
even further when
you test out tasty
new recipes for leftovers. For more ideas, visit
www.hellmanns.com, and get started by trying
Hellmann's(R) Turkey Casserole recipe.
Turkey Casserole
Serves: 6
Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 40 Minutes
Ingredients:
4 cups leftover prepared stuffing,
divided
4 cups coarsely chopped leftover
cooked turkey (about 1 pound)
3/4 cup Hellmann's(R) or Best
Foods(R) Real Mayonnaise,
divided
1/4 cup whole berry cranberry
sauce
2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
1-1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
cheese (about 6 ounces)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Spray 8-inch baking dish with
no-stick cooking spray. Spoon
in 2 cups stuffing, then top with
turkey.
Combine 1/4 cup Hellmann's(R)
or Best Foods(R) Real
Mayonnaise with cranberry
sauce; evenly spread over
turkey.
Combine remaining 1/2 cup
Mayonnaise, potatoes and
cheese in large bowl. Evenly
spread on turkey, then top with
remaining 2 cups stuffing.
Bake 40 minutes or until heated
through. Let stand 10 minutes
before serving. If desired,
garnish with dried cranberries.
Also terrific with Hellmann's Light
Mayonnaise.

(ARA) - As the cool temperatures of fall and winter arrive,
many people fnd themselves gravitating toward warming, rich
foods. Many of those dishes are fondly remembered childhood
favorites or even part of a longstanding family tradition. While
those cozy comfort foods warm you, body and soul, it's no
secret that many of them aren't the healthiest foods you could
eat. But with a bit of creative cooking, you can put a more
nutritious spin on beloved dishes - and still enjoy the comfort
they bring.
Whether you're planning a small dinner party with friends or
making a dish for the big family holiday gathering, you want
to serve a dish that everyone will love. You might think that
changing a recipe to make it more nutritious would produce
something that's a pale imitation of the original, but that's not
so - you can easily make a healthier version without sacrifcing
favor.
Consider these tips for making more nutrient-rich versions of
your favorite comfort foods:
* Mac and cheese. It's a childhood staple that every adult
continues to love, no matter how many years pass. Rich, gooey
cheese and bite-sized elbow pasta are good on their own, but
together, they're culinary magic. To bring more nutritional value
to elbows-and-cheese, consider switching your pasta from
standard semolina to nutrient-packed, sprouted grain pastas
like Ezekiel 4:9. The pasta is certifed organic, and because
it's made from sprouted grains, it is high in fber, rich with
extra nutrients and is a diabetic-friendly food. Plus, sprouted
grain pasta has faster cooking times, so it makes meal time
preparation even easier. Top your cheesy elbows with seasoned
bread crumbs and bake it to perfection.
* Soups and stews. On a chilly day, few things can make you feel
quite as good as a steaming bowl of soup. The infnite variety
of recipes attests to just how much people love soup - and just
how creative you can get with it. Making a nutritious soup takes
only a few adjustments. To make it more heart-healthy, look for
low- or no-sodium broth instead of the regular versions, which
are often packed with salt. Even if you're making a classic
recipe, like chicken noodle, add "superfood" ingredients like
chickpeas (high in fber and complex carbohydrates), dark
leafy greens (such as chard, kale or collards) or vegetables
from the allium family (like leeks, shallots or garlic), which
add unmatchable favor.
* Grilled cheese. Another childhood favorite that never fades
in popularity, grilled cheese sandwiches are about as simple
as great food can be. Bread, cheese and a hot skillet are all
you need - but you can improve on the classic with a health-
conscious touch. Instead of regular loaves, opt for sprouted
grain bread rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, natural fber and
- perhaps most importantly - favor. For a more sophisticated
taste, try grilling Ezekiel 4:9 Cinnamon Raisin bread with
white cheddar - and add a tart apple slice with the cheese. It's
a sweet-savory combination that might just become your new
favorite.

(ARA) - Fall is a great time for enthusiasts
of fresh and local food. Farmers' markets are
overflowing with tasty produce at harvest
time, and if you've worked long and hard
on your home garden, it's time to reap the
rewards. Fresh food is harder to come by once
the last leaves fall and the frost sets in, but
there are still a number of ways you can keep
your commitment to eating locally alive year-
round.
While getting fresh produce from nearby
sources isn't a year-round option for many
Americans, it's still possible to continue to
enjoy healthy regional, seasonal food in a
number of other ways. Whether it's buying
a basket of fresh tomatoes, green beans, or
peaches, and canning or blanching and freezing
them for future use, or dining at a restaurant
that focuses on using local ingredients, it's
possible to continue your green dining habits
throughout the year.
Engaging people who are interested in living
healthier and greener, Good Housekeeping
partnered with LG Electronics this fall
on a "Living Greener" initiative, showing
consumers across the country how to make
the most of local produce and other healthy
foods. The program encourages a greener
lifestyle, providing consumers with tips and
ideas for efficient products, such as LG's new
refrigerator. The refrigerator recently earned
the Good Housekeeping Seal, and includes a
Smart Cooling System that maintains superior
humidity and temperature levels to help keep
food fresh longer. And at 31 cubic feet, it has
the largest storage capacity available in its
class and can easily accommodate
bushels of produce.
Susan Westmoreland,
food director of the Good
Housekeeping Research Institute
offers these tips to keep eating
local even after the growing
season is done:
* Support year-round CSAs
and farmers markets. To join a
Community Support Agriculture
you pay a set amount of money
for a portion of what the farm
or group of farms produce,
usually delivered every week
or so. Farmers' markets may
feature meat, cheese and eggs
in addition to colder weather
vegetables that keep well, like
winter squash and onions. Since
both of these are relatively
new concepts, you may not be
fortunate enough to have both options in your
neighborhood. Check out localharvest.org for
more information. Then, embrace your luck,
shop and eat well.
* Make good use of your refrigerator and
freezer. When you are bringing home a bunch
of produce, you know the importance of
finding space in your refrigerator to preserve
the veggies you won't use right away. But at
the end of the season, a great way to make your
veggies last longer is to blanch (cook in boiling
water for 1 minute) then cool completely, bag
and freeze them for later use in stir fries and
pasta dishes. To freeze berries, simply rinse
and freeze in a single layer until hard, transfer
to zip seal bags and freeze for desserts or add a
handful to brighten any winter cereal bowl.
* Can and preserve. Another great way to
preserve your fresh-picked produce for the
colder months is to can, pickle or process it.
Your surplus tomatoes can be turned to salsa
or tomato sauce for winter and your bounty
of cucumbers can be transformed into tasty
dill pickles. For both freezing and canning,
do some research to make sure you are safely
preserving your food. In addition to some great
books on the subject, Internet resources like
the Daily Green are a great place to start.
* Stock up on hearty vegetables. Vegetables
like onions, potatoes and squash are not
only some of the last to be picked during the
growing season, but also some of the heartiest
and longest lasting produce available. Even if
you don't have a root cellar, you can extend the
life of these vegetables even further by storing
them in a cooler part of your home like the
basement or a garage.
* Patronize restaurants that focus year-round
on the freshest, healthiest ingredients. These
days, many restaurants aim to get as many
ingredients as possible, from vegetables to
fish and meat, from local sources. Visiting
these restaurants is a great way to help sustain
your local food industry.
By firming up your commitment to eating
local throughout the year, you'll help your
local economy while also decreasing your
carbon food print. And on top of it all, you'll
be rewarded with delicious meals for every
season.
