Not gonna lie... holidays always used to give me anxiety when I was on a diet in the past... ESPECIALLY the year and a half before my wedding. Coming from a fairly traditional Italian family, my mom goes all out... Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, Easter, birthdays... hell, even the 4th of July. Each time we sat at the table last year, while the family was calmly saying grace, my inner monologue sounded like she was on speed: "Can I control myself? How much do I need to workout today to burn the calories I'm about to eat? What do I eat? Wait... is that chocolate?!"
Yikes.
Enter reformed Alison. The 80/20 rule. And SANITY.
Anywho, in the spirit of Easter, I wanted to share 5 treats with you that promise tasty goodness without the expected side of guilt... courtesy of one of my favorite magazines, Cooking Light. Enjoy!
1. Black and White Angel Food Cake
2. Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies
