Calling all Healthy Holiday Recipes!

Calling All Healthy Holiday Recipes!

If you are like most people, one reason you love the holidays is the abundance of delicious food!  Yet you don't love the shock of stepping on that scale after New Years.   The holidays don't have to be a time to gain weight...you can focus instead on maintaining, and not gaining.   There are a lot of healthier, yet still delicious recipes that you can use this holiday season, to make THIS the year that you don't have to worry about shedding extra post-holiday pounds.

So how do you do that?  Simple!  Send us your recipes!  Your recipes that are delicious, yet feature healthier choices.  You know you have them!  

Appetizers? Entrees? Desserts? We want them all! Submit your most delicious, slimmed-down holiday dish and finished-product photo, and you¹ll be featured in our first MedHelp members' "Holiday Recipe Book"  (well, holiday recipe slideshow, really) that will be featured on MedHelp and in an upcoming newsletter.

To submit your dish, simply CREATE A NEW POST (do NOT reply to this post with your recipe - we won't be able to feature it) with the following information:


1. The name of your recipe

2. A brief description of your recipe (50 words or less) - this is your chance to tell us about your recipe! You can include where this recipe comes from, why you like it, tips on preparing it or how you made it healthier.

3. Complete ingredients and directions for preparing

4. A HI-RESOLUTION photo of your finished dish (we need a high-quality image so that it can be added to our slideshow). Please try to take your picture in LANDSCAPE mode (so the picture is longer than it is tall--not portrait), and, if possible, size it to 500 pixels long by 350 pixels wide. If you don't know how to size it, don't worry. Just upload your high-res image to your post.

That's it! We'll gather all recipes and feature them in a holiday recipe slideshow on MedHelp as well as in an upcoming newsletter timed for the holidays.

Here's a sample recipe and photo - http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Healthy-Cooking/red-cookedbrussel-sprouts-holiday-edition/show/1392308 .  It's simple to do - just post your recipe with a photo, and we'll do the rest!  Please let us know if you have any questions

Please remember to MAKE A NEW POST with each recipe; do NOT put your recipe in the reply to any post, or we cant use it.  

And if you can...a photo would be great!  If you can't photograph it, or can't find a pic on the web to upload, then just go ahead and post it, and we'll try to figure out what to do.  We always need the recipes, anyway!

Thanks!
