I know there is no substitution for great christmas recipes but can someone please list some recipes that would be great for a christmas party but also taste great and are low in fat? Please list nutritional facts as well. The most listed gets my vote! Thanks! =) Oh, and by the way it can be anything from breakfast, drinks, to dessert.

I think cakes are delicious and healthy some time give my children cheese pizza and carrots, and also give them stir fried chicken with added soy and a very good tereriaky sauce with lots of vegetables. Young children need fat in their diets to facilitate proper growth and development. Unless specifically recommended by a child’s doctor or a registered dietitian, children should not eat a strict low fat diet. It is prudent to limit their intake of artery-clogging saturated fats and to avoid heart-harming trans fats, But drinking exclusively fat-free milk and eating fat-free dairy products, especially before the age of two, may cause nutritional deficiencies. Even after the age of two, insufficient fat intake can interfere with the absorption of certain nutrients.
