Special occasions wreck healthy eating habits. Most people abandon their wellness goals when holidays arrive, diving into Super Bowl snacks, Halloween candy, and New Year's champagne. Actress and health expert Marilu Henner presents a different path. She eliminates red meat, dairy, and refined sugar from holiday menus while keeping celebrations delicious and fun. Her approach fills kitchens with fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, soy, seafood, poultry, and natural sweeteners. Henner provides complete meal plans for every major holiday, from Asian Grilled Salmon for New Year's Day to Pilgrim Pumpkin Pie for Thanksgiving. She adds creative celebration ideas like Irish step dancing for Saint Patrick's Day and grab-bag Halloween parties. The book delivers hundreds of recipes plus practical strategies for maintaining wellness during festive seasons.
