More Healthy July 4th Ideas
We love celebrating with food over the holidays and July 4th is no exception. If you are planning to celebrate, you don’t have to avoid what’s on the menu. Here are two suggestions from Sylvia’s blog post to help you get through the holiday.
- Don’t use any ready made sauces, chutneys, mustards etc. which may throw you off track. Many have additives, sugars, fillers, starches, unhealthy fats and other undesirable ingredients which may impact your body in a negative way.
- If you are going to eat BBQ, you can make your own marinade or BBQ sauce. If you are going to a friend’s house, you can bring your own sauce or ask them to cook a piece of meat for you without a sauce/marinade but with plenty of herbs and spices rubbed in.
If you like watermelon, here is a link to some information about this tasty fruit.
