One of the best parts of the holiday season is sharing food with those you love. Though this can make weight loss during this time of year very difficult. This Thanksgiving try swapping some of your favorite recipes for healthier versions that promise to be just as delicious!

Instead of: Green Bean Casserole

Try: Roasted Green Beans-Green bean casserole is holiday staple, and your recipe probably goes back generations.  However, the calorie count can leave you feeling pretty guilty.
