These tips for eating healthy are universal. They are not constricting or unbearable. In fact, you may never notice the changes you make. The great thing about these simple changes is that your body will notice and reward you accordingly.

Replace some butter with some olive oil, for a better balance of healthy fats. Try a 50/50 mix for starters. Olive oil is unquestionably the healthier alternative to butter.
Replace heavy carbs such as potatoes and stuffing with herbs that can flavor up a turkey or vegetables.
Go organic to avoid hormones, pesticides, and antibiotic residues in meat or produce.
Replace mayonnaise with with low-fat yogurt for tasty dressings without the extra fat and artificial stuff. 
Trim all visible fat from meats. Stick with lean cuts and white meat. 
Consider more nutrient-dense foods for desserts such as sweet potatoes, pecans, and pumpkins.  
Check ingredients on any cans that you use. Avoid the bad sugars and look for fresher ingredients. 
When choosing honey, try to find raw, unfiltered, cold-pressed organic honey.  
Don’t overdue the number of meal courses. Stick with a few basics for a satisfying meal that doesn’t overstuff our guests.
Consider serving a salad as the last course (or dessert).

Food should be fun and can be very satisfying. These tips are just ways to  stay on the healthy path in life. I enclose this recipe as a bonus. I hope you enjoy. You can also visit my website to obtain further wonderful recipes, cooking tips, and general food creation information.
