And as exciting as it can be to have plate after plate of decadent dishes during this time of year...sometimes you just need a break! That's why I've put together a list of recommendations to help steer you toward a healthier path: eat this, not that. ![Banana-pancakes](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/hs-fs/file-2056440355-jpg/Buzz_November/Banana-pancakes.jpg) With so many breakfasts and brunches on the calendar, having a healthy version of popular menu items can be a total life-saver! Made with only a few ingredients, our [Banana Oatmeal Pancakes with Warm Berry Sauce](http://calgiant.com/blog/2014/08/07/banana-oatmeal-pancakes-with-warm-berry-sauce/) provide a fluffy and delicious alternative to the traditional butter-topped, syrup-soaked stacks we're all used to.           ![Sweet-Pizza](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/hs-fs/file-2055581697-jpg/Buzz_November/Sweet-Pizza.jpg?width=358&name=Sweet-Pizza.jpg) Trade the cheese and pepperoni for fresh berries and a whole wheat pizza crust. This [Sweet Berry Pizza](http://calgiant.com/blog/2014/08/07/sweet-berry-pizza/) is an excellent alternative to the traditional pizza, and an (almost) guilt-free dessert!       ![blackberry-cobbler\_300-e13083347422801](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/hs-fs/file-2055467144-jpg/Buzz_November/blackberry-cobbler_300-e13083347422801.jpg?width=356&name=blackberry-cobbler_300-e13083347422801.jpg) It wouldn’t be the holidays without some cobbler! Our [Mixed Berry Cobbler](http://calgiant.com/blog/2011/04/29/mixed-berry-cobbler/) is a little lighter than the traditional kind, using granola and yogurt. You’ll save some major calories without trading in the taste!               I hope my suggestions help keep you on a healthier path during your holiday festivities. (If you prefer [savory dishes](https://thebuzzblog.calgiant.com/blog/2014/09/25/healthy-comfort-foods), I have suggestions for that too) . Enjoy!
