From Fiona Haynes, your About Healthy Eating Editor
'Tis the season of temptation, and if you're are watching your carb intake, the holidays can be particularly tricky to navigate. Fortunately, our Low-Carb Diets Expert has some excellent tips to keep you from breaking your diet.

Keeping Carbs in Check at Holiday Parties
Temptation in the form of cookies, cakes, sugary drinks, and so on looms large for those who need to eat low carb during the holiday season. But you can still enjoy the season and nibble on some holiday treats without compromising your diet.

Gluten-Free Lebkuchen
Lebkuchen are deliciously spicy traditional German Christmas cookies. Similar to gingerbread and "pfeffernusse" this version of gluten-free lebkuchen is spiced to the hilt with cardamom and freshly ground pepper. This lebkuchen cookie dough is very easy to work with.

Dairy-Free Christmas Stollen
Stollen is a traditional German cake usually served at Christmas. It's similar to a fruit cake or a rich sweet bread, and it almost always calls for milk and butter in its preparation. This dairy-free version is every bit as rich and festive, and it's so good, no one will know that it was made without dairy.

Baked Tofu in Korean Barbecue Sauce
Korean barbecue sauce makes an excellent marinade for baked tofu - just thin it out a bit with water. Don't have any Korean barbecue sauce on hand, but craving that unique spicy, salty and sweet combination that only Korean food can provide? Try this Korean barbecue sauce-inspired marinade for baked tofu. It's vegetarian and vegan, and if you use tamari instead of wheat-based soy sauce, it can be gluten free, too.
