With the 4th of July around the corner I know a lot of you are wondering "How am I going to be healthy over the holidays?"
Here are some ideas...
Cheeseburgers without the bun or even better - wrap it in lettuce! The crunchy lettuce makes it taste so great and you can still add all your favorite toppings! BUT watch out for the ketchup and use a light to no fat mayo!
You have to french fries with your burger! Well ,make sweet potato fries! Slice them up and bake with a little olive oil, fresh garlic, and some fresh rosemary! YUMMY!
Make Kabobs! Steak, chicken, or just grill up tons of veggies!--My favorite!
You need to make a great appetizer that everyone will love! Make Jalapeno poppers! Buy fresh jalapenos, cut in half (long ways), scrape the seeds out (where plastic gloves), stuff jalapeno with a light cream cheese, and wrap with a half slice of bacon. Bake in the oven at 450 until bacon is cooked. --to be healthier you can use turkey bacon but I will admit I love the real bacon!
You need to make a dessert that you can eat. Make strawberry shortcake (without the cake). Cut up fresh strawberries and layer them around a dish then add the sugar free cool whip to the center of the plate. You can even add in some blueberries around the whip cream to make it red, white, and blue!
Just some suggestions! If you get creative you can still eat delicious food!!! Happy 4th of July!
If anyone has any other great ideas--write it in the comment section under the blog--I am sure everyone would love some great ideas!
