READ the label!

I was shopping for Christmas dinner/ entertaining supplies yesterday. There are alot of things that I would NEVER eat or drink the rest of the year (like Egg Nog) that I will indulge in during the holidays. Egg Nog is one of them (many people hate it, but, I love it). Reading labels has become such a habit for me that even when buying fattening, sweet stuff I have to look at the nutritional breakdown.

Well...when I compared two brands sitting side by side, I was pretty shocked! One had 22 grams of fat and 36 grams of sugar per serving. The other had 9 grams of fat and 19 grams of sugar! Not exactly health food, but, a much better choice than the first one.
