Most people (ahem, me) spend the holiday season gorging themselves on super sweet and rich foods, and they (me) vow to start fresh in the New Year -- eating only veggies and fruits and drinking only water and green tea.
But that's so lame.
While I'm all for a clean slate, the reality is I'll be craving some carbo-sugar-loaded treat in a few days.
So this year, I'm trying a new approach. I still want to start the month healthy but instead of giving up dessert, I'm going to indulge in healthier versions for the next few weeks (Ideally I'll also indulge less often but this isn't an ideal world, now is it?)
And angel food cake is perfect! I love this stuff. It's so light and delicious -- and fat free. And even with the meringue* icing, it's less than 150 calories!
You can totally have your cake and eat it to in 2012! (I couldn't resist.)
(Side note: My entire life I've pronounced meringue 'merengue' ... ya know, like the dance ... which apparently is wrong. So that's pretty unfortunate for me. Luckily, I have Jack to correct me, which he loves.)
