BBQ season is a week away! Yum! This summer, I challenge you to play it smart. BBQ side dishes are notorious for being full of fat. Overeating on coleslaw and potato salad filled with mayo, cheese and crackers, oily chips and cheesy pasta salad make a potentially fantastic Sunday with friends and family into a disaster for the waistline. This year, enjoy a BBQ that wont leave you stuffed with guilt.
Last week I was on ABC’s View from the Bay talking about eating right this BBQ season. I featured new spins on classic fat laden sides such as coleslaw with vinegar and potato salad with plain yogurt and popchips, popped potato chips that are low in fat. Easy, simple changes that make a big difference. Click here to watch the segment!
To keep you focused on eating right this summer I am quoted in an article in this month’s Better Homes and Gardens talking about taking the fat out of potato salad. Check out page 232 for healthy substitutions to make potato salads lower in fat and all around healthier and more tasty.
Have a wonderful summer and happy grilling!
