Healthy Holiday Treats!
To disable ads, please log-in.
I get a lot of chocolates/ gift baskets at this time of year, but because I do not eat candy I end up tossing it in the trash or giving it away. I admit I am guilty of sending them, too.
So this year, instead of contributing to rampant obesity and clogged arteries, I opted to send them fresh and healthy bouquets:

Don't throw away your gifts of chocolate and food. Drop them off at a nursing home or assisted living facility, the ones where the beds are mostly Medicaid and the residents only have $35 a month to spend. They are old, in ill health and unhappy, yet most of them have a sweet tooth. Such gifts can bring joy to an older person. The biggest complaint at those facilities is how lousy the food is and a gift basket of chocolates would make many of them happy. And if you are age 90 in a wheelchair, getting clogged arteries may not be a concern.
I am not certain if chocolate has cholesterol or transfat in it. Didn't the American Heart Association recently acknowledge that dark chocolate is high in anti-oxidants and is actually good for the heart?
