[related_gallery align=”right”]WASHINGTON — Eating well this time of year isn’t the issue. It’s eating too well.

As you’re well aware, the holidays dump an abundance of delicious calories on us every year.

Heck, with all the football games and family arguments, it’s easy to lose track of just how much food you’re cramming into your face.

One way to prevent another tearful Jan. 2 return to spin class is — duh — making somewhat healthier food before you’re forced to sit at the kids’ table. Again.

Here are a few recipes to check out before you go to the supermarket.

Some of these dishes are vegetarian. Some are vegan. Some are gluten-free. But don’t let that scare you. All are worth considering as you get your kitchen plans together.
