Oh, holiday season, you are here! And so is eating to our heart’s content.

There is a time and place to enjoy it all, in moderation. I say that because holiday food and gatherings should really be about enjoyment, not regretting the overly full feeling, ya know? It’s also about making the most of those holiday leftovers!

It’s true! You can turn most leftovers into healthy meals. And what’s the best way to use up those leftovers? Sandwiches! Take notes, y’all!
