Happy Hanukkah!

The miracle of oil is celebrated each day of Hanukkah by cooking a variety of foods in cooking oil, including latkes (grated potato cakes) and sufganiyot (donuts). While certain oils are a healthy addition to a balanced diet, we all know that oil is high in fat.

You can still enjoy the customary Hanukkah foods without the heavy emphasis on unhealthy oils. We recommend baking your latkes rather than frying them, adding homemade low-sugar apple sauce, and/or making your latkes with sweet potatoes.

For some healthy latke recipes, check out the links below.

Let us know what your favorite Hanukkah recipes are below.
