Very cosy, that gourmet tradition, but it is not always healthy. With these tips you can make gourmet meals healthier.
1. Choose healthy dishes
Don't just stock up on meat to put on the gourmet. There are so many other options:frittata, stuffed portobellos, pancakes, mini pizzas, cheese, falafel or tofu. Vegetables can also be on the gourmet. Provide healthy side dishes.
2. Make the sauces yourself
Sauces add relatively many calories to the meal. The healthiest option is to make them yourself. Are you really on the line? Then it is best to be economical with sauces, whether they are homemade or ready-made.
3. Choose your drinks wisely
Do you want to watch your calorie intake and limit it? Then let the alcohol stand a little more often and put a pitcher of water nearby to alternate with water.
4. Marinate the meat Marinades give your meat flavor, but that's not the only reason to marinate the meat. Different herbs have positive effects on your health and when your food has taste, you will feel full faster.
5. Don't worry Christmas can turn into a stressful occasion, especially if you are the hostess yourself. Relax, it doesn't have to be perfect. Don't worry too much and try to enjoy being together.
