Trying to plan my yom tov menus without gaining the usual 5 lbs. Any ideas, particularly for desserts and sides?
Make the regular yontif foods. However, get or bake whole wheat challah. Also, make sure to serve salad and vegetables with every meal. Also, decide that you will never snack between meals.
Vegetable kugel. I’m not exactly sure how to make it exactly, but it consists of some cooked vegetable divided into 2 or 3 layers. Delicious and nutritious!
A good dessert what could be made with no sugar and very little oil:
Apple crumble:
Slice apples very thinly, leave in bowl of water till ready to use.
Meanwhile, make mixture in separate bowl (sorry I don’t have amounts) mix oats (old fashioned, not quick cooking), whole wheat flour, an egg, some canola oil, some splenda or sugar, some cinamon, some ground nuts. Mixture should be crumbly. Place half of mixture on bottom of pan then spread apple slices evenly over. Sprinkle a few drops of lemon juice and cinnamon over the apples, then spread the rest of the mix over it. Bake it for a while until the apples are soft. It’s especially good for rosh hashana!
Shan try to stay away from sugar most of it poison for the body, instead consider using Stevia. Stevia is a plant based alternative to sugar. This can be substituted for sugar. As far as I know there are no health concerns from using Stevia. Stevia is 200-300 times sweeter than sugar,and it has a heksher. So all you need for example is a pinch to sweeten a cup of coffee. Stevia can help one (with Hashems help) lose weight. I started using it about a week ago, as I try to cut down my sugar intake. Stevia may help the Pancreas(I know sugar does not), and may help people with diabetes.
Salad and soup are big fillers. But let’s face it, ya gotta have honey cake!
I heard of this awesome diet. You only drink water (except kiddush) and you eat whatever you want. The person who told me about it swears by it. I think she calls it “The Tanta Diet” or something like that, and the water is then called “Tanta Juice” Let us know how it works for you.
xylitol is not calorieless
it has half the calories of sucrose
it is also absorbed more slowly than sucrose, which is good
