Appetizers for the New Year - The holidays bring all kinds of opportunities for munching. Whether you are entertaining a crowd or simply looking for some fun recipes, these will do the trick.

Budgeting for the New Year - One of the nicest parts about celebrating a New Year is that it affords us a natural break in our lives to take a fresh look at things. It is also motivational in helping us dive into an old project with renewed vigor.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars - A great way to get kids involved in the kitchen, is by preparing a recipe that will satisfy their sweet tooth. Many children love the opportunity to measure, mix, and bake, and don't even mind the clean up afterward. Try this tasty treat with your kids.

Decorative Vegetables - A picnic or holiday table adorned with decorative vegetables is pleasing to the eye as well as appetizing! Making fresh vegetables look like the pros do does not have to be difficult. Here are some ideas to get you started:

Family FunBook New Year's Ideas

Festive Beverages for the Holidays - Whether you are celebrating at home with your family, or throwing a large get together, special punches and beverages add a festive touch to the holidays.

Flower & Spice Table Toppers - Use minimal supplies to make these pretty and festive holiday centerpieces for your Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner table. Make several and give a few as gifts.

Get Fit on a Shoestring Budget - Aside from all the health benefits of exercise, a good exercise program can also help you save money and possibly even make more money... and you can implement an effective, comprehensive exercise program with very little expense.

Holidays & Exercise - They Can Go Together! - I was all set to help you plan your own home-based exercise program. One you could live with. One that would truly work. Then it hit me. The full brunt of the holiday season.

How To Keep Going, When Motivation Takes A Hike - What's the hardest thing about exercising at home? If you're anything like me, it's simple lack of motivation. Before I became a mother, I belonged to a gym. No matter how ambivalent I felt, I knew all I had to do was get myself there and the instructor would take over. Even if I was planning a weight training session, just being at the gym surrounded by other fit and sweating bodies was enough to re-energize me.

Ice Candle Centerpiece - What a beautiful centerpiece. Your friends will be amazed at your craftiness and the compliments will keep coming as the night goes on. Be sure to make this a day or so ahead!

Mini Cucumber Sandwiches - These mini open faced cucumber sandwiches have been around for as long as I can remember. From office parties to family gatherings, they are a tasty and refreshing addition to any appetizer tray.

Nanaimo Bars - These delicious cookies are a staple of local cafes in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. These bars freeze well, so it's nice to make extras to keep in the freezer for anytime you want a quick treat. Before cutting the bars, if you dip your knife into hot water to heat it, it will help make the process neater and cut easily through the chocolate.

New Year's Eve Treats for Kids - New Year's Eve doesn't have to be just for grown ups! Children can make these fun and festive recipes to celebrate the coming of the new year.

Smart Eating for Life - So, you've decided to lose weight. Congratulations on your decision to adopt a healthier lifestyle. But where do you go from here? With so many weight loss choices, it is difficult to know which diet program is right for you. It is tempting to want to lose weight quickly and easily with little or no effort on your part. But be careful. Weight loss is a multi-billion dollar industry and not every weight loss product or program has the consumer's interest at heart.

The Key To Great Abs - The lower abdominals. The part of a man's body which has a tendency to become "paunchy" and hang over the belt, and on women, the part that just refuses to snap back into shape long after the baby has been born.

Vegetable Dips - Try these delicious dips for your next party, barbecue or picnic. Perfect for dipping raw, cut up vegetables. Also a healthy snack for kids!

Yuletide Garland - This lovely yuletide garland is the perfect holder for a sparkling bowl of holiday punch. Place in the center of your holiday table this year.
