Try creating nonalcoholic drinks by infusing fresh herbs, cucumber and fruit into water and seltzer for low calorie refreshing drinks that kids can also enjoy! • Grilled chicken and turkey burgers get a fresh burst of fl avor when you cut back on salt and marinate them with fresh or dried herbs, spices, vinegars or citrus juices. • Make refreshing smoothies with fresh or frozen fruit, yogurt and ice. • Eat healthy fats by adding fi sh to the menu, such as salmon, trout, and tuna • Tofu is delicious on the grill; the extra-fi rm type works best on the barbeque. Also great when marinated fi rst! • Keep the food at a separate buffet table. Everyone will be less tempted to go for seconds if food is not in front of them while eating. • Be mindful of food safety. Wash hands, keep raw food separate from cooked food, cook food thoroughly and keep hot food hot and cold food cold. When in doubt, throw it out!
