Spend less time in the kitchen - easy healthy grillin & dessert

  When it's hot outside the last thing I want to do is stand in the kitchen & cook but I also don't want to sacrifice nutrition.   Grilling is an easy way to spend less time in the kitchen while still having a healthy dinner.

Recently we've done,

Salmon Kabobs with onion and peppers - you could also use chicken.
Some groceries stores have them already prepared on the skewer for grilling. 

Turkey Burgers with blue corn chips and a very simple salad

Frozen Dessert ~ I hope it looks as good as it tasted.  Chocolate Shakeology peanut butter balls.  
I saved my Beaba baby food container for storing and or freezing baby food.  Scooped a ball of peanut butter into 6 of the cups & poured the mixed shake on top.   Let freeze for a few hours and dessert is served.   

 Also always a plus to cook & eat outside a to keep the kitchen clean.  

Here are 5 small changes you can make to make your family meals, snacks & picnics a little healthier

#1No more fast food 

prepare meals in advance and have healthy meals at home

#2 Ditch the mayo

replace mayo with hummus for sandwiches

#3 No more sour cream

Replace sour cream with greek yogurt in guacamole(shown below), or tacos with grilled chicken.

#4 Fruit for snacks

Put  fruit  on the counter or on the kitchen table it will be the easiest to grab for snack time. 

#5  Drink water

No more juice, and soda. Drink more water !
