Pumpkin Flan for a Healthier Holiday Dessert
(NAPS)--A healthier take
on holiday dishes can bene-
fit the whole family, especially
considering that type 2 dia-
betes affects at least 24 mil-
lion American adults and chil-
dren. People with diabetes
are at greater risk of cardio-
vascular disease, the number
one cause of death in the U.S.
Cheryl Forberg, R.D., con-
stilting die'titian to NBC's he
Biggest Loser" and a James
Beard award-winning recipe
developer, has created dia-
betes-friendly, heart-healthy
recipes for a holiday meal
makeover. These recipes use
canola off, which has the least
saturated fat and most omega-
3 fat of all cooking oils.
Forberg's dessert recipe does
away with pie crust and con-
centrates on yummy pumpkin
flavor, allowing people to have
their cake (flan) and eat it, too:

Tips To Create A Tailgate Touchdown
(NAPS) As the weather
cools down and football com-
petition heats up, Americans ,
are dusting off their game-time
gear and preparing for the fall
tailgate season. Everyone
knows tailgating is about three
things---food, fun and football.
So whether you are tailgating
outside the stadium or host-
ing a game-time party in the
living room, here are some tips
to make any football festivity
a winner.
• Don't let the players
have all the fun--extend the
friendly competition off the-
field.At the beginning of your
party have each guest write
down which team they think
will win and what the final
score of the game will be.
After the final pass is thrown,
award the guest who comes
the closest with a silly prize,
like an oversized foam foot-
ball hat or pifiata.
• Got little ones who are
not quite interested in the
game yet? Develop fun activ-
ities that will keep them occu-
pied and engaged from the first
kick-off to the last sack. Stock
up on coloring books and art
projects for them to create or
put together a football-themed
scavenger hunt and place dues
throughout the house. These
fun activities will ensure that
they have fun during the game
without interrupting any
important plays.
• Planning ahead will elim-
• inate any last-minute scram-
bling before kick-off. Prep food
and develop as many make-
ahead-meals as possible the
night before. For example, cre-

sliders are an alwayHnjoy-
able tailgate treat that are
surprisingly easy to make.
ate satisfying barbecue pulled-
perk mini-sliders by slow cook-
ing pulled pork with barbeque
sauce the evening prior--once
the game starts the meat will
be fillly-cooked and ready to
serve on warm Sister
Schubert's Homemade Rolls.

• A party without a little
flair will be easily forgotten.
To make it memorable, choose
decorations, such as plates,
utensils and streamers, in the
colors of the home tean While
packing up the car for the tail-
gate, bring along a few
branded blankets for when
the cool evening breeze comes
in. If you're hosting at home
add some additional flair by
using old footballs, helmets
and trophies as centerpieces
for the table.
