Work Out, Eat Christmas Cookies

As God is my witness, I love Christmas cookies and candy. I have only made fudge( the old fashioned way), and mahogony buttercrunch toffee w/ chocolate and nuts this year. My favorites. Another favorite, though, is a shortbread style cookie( not too sweet like sugar cookies), frosted w/ confectioner's sugar, cream cheese, milk to moisten and/or butter. It is not too sweet, and you can add lemon juice to the yellow frosting, and lime juice to the green frosting, and melted redhots to the red. Cream cheese adds taste and body and protein. You feel like you are eating healthy if you worked out that day. It is the best frosting in the Christmas Cookie world.

During this holiday season, you must remember that any food that tastes really good, is really good for you. Taste trumps calories. Don't forget to workout. The food won't hurt you a bit. Every time you eat, your metabolism kicks in. Eating is good. Working out also helps if you have been drinking egg nog. Egg nog is good protein and it may lighten you up a little bit, if you are me. Merry Christmas. Pray, Eat, Love!
