That’s why Diet Chef considered the calories contained in many of your beloved treats and came up with a few guilt-free choices. For example, did you know that fruit-based stuffing is much healthier than sausage meat? Or that gravy has far fewer calories than cranberry sauce? They also looked into lots of party snack favorites such as quiche and sausage rolls.
