Fourth of July Musings

I hope everyone had a nice 4th of July! I certainly did!

After seeing a few morning clients at work, my roommates and I ventured down to my parents' house for a little rest, relaxation and BBQ. The holidays can be easy way to fall off of diets and miss-manage cheat meals. The key word in that last sentence is "meal" - even though it's a holiday, try to keep the cheating to a minimum. Drinking and snacking on finger foods should be kept to a minimum in a small time frame. One bad day can sidetrack the next few days.

Here's how we treated my parents' grill yesterday...

There's a wide variety on the grill there, but most of our options were on the healthier side. I went with 8 oz of salmon, sweet potatoes and chicken kabobs. I did cheat a little bit and have a sausage - the Italian in me couldn't resist!

Later on in the evening I had the privlidge to cook another meal for dinner - this time I went with tilapia, sweet potatoes and asparagus. I'll write up the recipe in a post later today.

Hope everyone had a nice mid-week break! Now it's back to the grind!
