“Lighten Up” the Grill

With thoughts come of summer, we often think of watermelon, picnics and the barbecue grill. Preparing meals on the grill not only keeps the heat out of the kitchen but also provides an opportunity to eat in the great out doors. The type of  meal that we choose can often be started ahead of time so we can spend more time with family and friends. Here is a warm weather menu idea that is not only mouth watering but also a healthier alternative to some of those old standbys.

Summer Grill Menu:

Grilled Salmon with Mango Jalepeno Salsa

Southwestern Sweet Potato Salad

Marinated Green Beans with Tomatoes

Watermelon

Blueberry Sherbet

Here are some links to these recipes:
