Summer Barbecues

This summer when you have friends, relatives and neighbors over for a backyard BBQ…consider this…a typical BBQ is about 2,260 calories.
That’s not even including dessert!!!

Burgers, hot dogs, macaroni salad, potato salad and potato chips are the most popular BBQ items. Throw in dessert and a cool drink and you top out at almost 3,000calories…Yikes!

If you tried to work off those calories you would have to spend hours at the gym. Who has that much time in their day to devote to exercise? Not me!

I have a menu for you to try for your next BBQ that will give you more variety and better health choices but still all the BBQ flavor.

First, exchange the meat burgers for lean turkey or veggie burgers. You can save calories by skipping the bun and using mustard instead of mayonnaise.

Second, instead of hot dogs try poultry sausages.

Third, try chicken, fish and seafood over steak or ribs.

Fourth, grill your vegetables. Pour a small amount of Extra Virgin Olive Oil over your sliced vegetables, season with salt or your favorite seasoning and grill…delicious!

Fifth, dessert. Grill sliced pineapple for a few minutes on each side.
Top with a drizzle of chocolate sauce and low fat cool whip and you have a satisfying sweet treat.

I hope you all have a healthy and safe summer!
