Reduce Stress By Baking!
With Christmas less than 2 wks. away, we know a lot of you out there
will be baking. Baking cookies, pies, cakes-etc.
If you watched yesterday's Rachael Ray's show- then you remember
star Valerie Bertinelli - baking some of her favorite holiday cookies.
Although a lot of people may struggle this time of yr. with weight and
and other weight-related issues, baking can be therapeutic.
Therapeutic how?
The scent of cookies baking can help transform you back to a time
when things were less complicated, happy and carefree.
You may also remember the times you spent with grandma or mom
or other relatives and that can also help you feel more safe and secure.
So, if you were reluctant to bake for fear it may trigger a binge,
just think of those cookies or that pie as stress relievers.
And if you don't want to bake, but want the scent of something baking,
do this...place a piece of aluminum foil in the oven, pour on a little
vanilla extract, some cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Turn on the oven
to 250 degrees, and leave it on for 15 to 30 mins.
Memories of mom, grandma and cousins will come flooding back.
That's it- and if you want some more tips on the benefits of Christmas treats,

And if you want some of the cookies, Valerie Bertinelli baked- go to
Rachael Ray.com and scan the site for Valerie's name.
Good Luck!
