Holiday Cookouts

If you are anything like me, the Fourth of July cookouts can be diet busters. Hey, if you agree, I have some relatively good news. I was listening to Dr. Ian Smith (think 500 million pound challenge) on the radio this morning and he stated (to paraphrase) have a good time and enjoy (eat) at your holiday cookout. He further stated, it's not the Fourth to worry about, it's the fifth of July and the rest of the summer to be most concerned about. In other words, it's ok to spurge for one day, however, after that day return to your healthier eating way of life.

Here is an healthier version of hot wings I found online:

1 tbsp paprika
2 tbsps hot sauce
1 tbsp olive oil
skinless 1/2 cut chicken breast

Coat chicken with 1/2 cup of blue cheese salad dressing. Add the above ingredients. Allow the chicken to marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator. Last, you can bake or grill the chicken.

If you have a healthier version of our favorite cookout foods, please share.
