Since many of you are celebrating Hanukkah this week, I wanted to share a twist on my favorite latke recipe. I know oil is a huge part of the tradition, but drenching potatoes in a ton of oil isn't exactly the healthiest thing for you, so check out this recipe. It doesn't involve any deep-frying, and mixes grated carrots with sweet potatoes.

The holidays are all about hanging out with friends and loved ones. I am pleased that I was able to bring friends and former costars Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston together again in a FitSugar pop quiz. Have fun taking this little quiz to see how well you have been paying attention this week amid the holiday hubbub.

'Tis the season for indulgence. The caloric load of champagne toasts and chocolate truffles add up, so it pays to cut calories where you can. 
An article in Shape reminded me of many simple ways to cut about 100 calories. The simplest one is to steam veggies and not sauté them. Produce like greens, eggplant, and mushrooms soak up the oil they are cooked in, which translates to added calories. To save about 100 calories, toss your veggies in a teaspoon or two of olive oil before serving. Skip the oil altogether and toss your veggies with lemon juice to shave even more calories off your meal.
I learned a new tip, too. Adding 1.5 cups chopped mushrooms to a pound of lean ground beef can lighten a burger by 100 calories. If you are interested in more easy ways to save calories, Shape has many more useful suggestions for shaving off 100, 200, and even 500 calories from dishes and meals.
