Picnic Time

Picnic time has arrived....the wonderful weather is here- it's so eaasy to indulge and not realize how many calories you've consumed.  So, here are a few tips for you so you can continue on your journey- yet still be able to eat.
1.  Offer to bring something to the cookout- this way you can be sure that it's a healthy option you can load up on.
2. Eat before you go- that way when you are there- you won't be tempted to eat all the goodies.
3. If you're at a cookout...this means the weather is nice....ask people if they'd like to join you for a walk prior/post eating...keep that metabolism moving.
4. What it all boils down to- be mindful of what you're consuming.

Here is a list of some side dishes recipes that you can make and share with your family. If you make them, let us know how they turn out!

  1. You know this is to true...and with a picnic this weekend and pretty much everyone in the family watching what they are eating...I have looked over the recipe that I said I would make and I have decided on how I am going to make it less fattening. I figured it out and all in all it shouldn't be too terrible. This has been a fun project and with what I have learned I have learned different ways to cut fats and make a recipe a little less fattening.
