As you all prepare your menu for the 4th of July festivities, I encourage you all to be health conscious and include healthy items such as fresh produce into your menu plans. Instead of the usual hotdog or brat on the grill, try making kabobs with lean meats such as chicken, pork , or shrimp along with some healthy veggies. If your holiday fun is anything like my family’s, it ends up being several days full of great food that is very tempting so planning some healthy items into your menu will save some calories and extra pounds post holiday!

Kabobs are such a wonderful idea. I never thought of them as something easy to do and they really are. It gives a person variety within a meal. I have even seen fruit kabobs on cooking shows – a person could really do one for on the grill as a twist on cold fruit.
As more ideas pop into my head, I get more and more interested in getting back into cooking. My husband is a great cook. He took over when he worked nights and needed to eat and get to bed when I came home.
Another good idea is having the raw veggies on hand so that it is the main munchy for the 4th.
Have a great 4th. I am sure you will be doing healthy eating!
