If there is one thing that I love about summer it would be…the sun, laying by the pool, warm weather, summer mornings, summer nights, summer walks, fresh produce, frozen yogurt, family visits, the beach…oh wait I just said one thing right? 😉 Let’s be honest, I just love summer. One thing that I ABSOLUTELY love about summer is barbecues! Don’t you? I think a lot of people think of summer barbecues and they immediately think of fatty burgers smothered in cheese, high calorie potato salad, endless bags of chips, and all sorts of other unhealthy options. Well, I think we should change that mindset. It is SO entirely possible to make all sorts of healthy meals on the grill. In fact, some of my favorite healthy meals consist of simple grilled chicken and veggies that taste excellent. I know with the Fourth of July coming up, there are all sorts of barbecues in store. So, I thought I’d arm you with some healthy recipes that you can be ready to get your BBQ on the healthy way!
