Today is a day to honor all those who are fighting for us, who have fought for us and will continue to fight for our freedom; as well as to honor and remember our loved ones who are no longer with us. Today is also known for BBQ, cook outs and spending time with family and friends. So if you are planning on cooking out today and would prefer to cook some healthy options rather than a greasy burger and fries we have come up with some festive yet tasty options!
1. Marinated grilled chicken
***Take boneless skinless chicken breast and put them in any type of marinade you like. We suggest (1 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup vinegar, 2 tbsp. non-fat greek yogurt, 3 tbsp. Worchesire sauce, 2 tbsp. lemon juice, 1 tbsp. salt, pepper & garlic salt...marinate for 2 hours or more if you can)
Grill and enjoy!
2. Grilled veggies on the grill
**You can use any type of veggies you choose...the possibilities are endless! We suggest cutting up red, yellow, orange and green peppers, zucchini, asparagus, onion. You can marinade if you want or just drizzle some olive oil and Italian seasoning on the veggies and put on grill in a grill pan or can cook on the stove until cooked with a slight crunch. Also, fyi....corn on the cob on the grill is delicious!
3. Fruit and Fruit Dip
**Cut up strawberries, Pineapple, Apples, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, bananas or whatever you prefer. If you want to be festive you can even cut the pineapple and apples into stars with a small cookie cutter. For the fruit dip take 8oz of fat-free non-flavored yogurt, 1 container of sugar free cool whip and 1 package of sugar-free fat free instant cheesecake Jello pudding. Mix together and you have a delicious and deadly fruit dip! Best if you chill before serving.
We hope you have a safe and healthy Memorial Day filled with fun, healthy food, family and friends! Enjoy :)
