On Saturday night I had some friends from a group I’m in join us for a BBQ at our house. It was fun, and so was all the food. And pretty darn healthy too! Here is some of the selection:

Veggie selection for the skewers were: red onions, cherry and chopped roma tomatoes, green, yellow and red peppers, zucchini, and pineapple chunks.

The meat (steak and chicken breast) was marinated in low-sodium soy sauce, vinegar, chopped garlic, and Italian herbs. We also had a few shrimps on some of the kabobs.

I also made a fruit salad with cantaloupe, blue berries, strawberries, grapes, pineapple, kiwi and a little chopped fresh mint leaves from our garden

We also had an avocado salad and fresh bread that people brought as well as some local and craft beers. And to finish out the meal, we had a couple of squares of delicious chocolate that my friend Michelle bought from Whole Foods in Fort Collins. Yum!

Everyone enjoyed their food and company

These are some of my suggestions for a healthy BBQ dinner. What would you bring to a BBQ that is both healthy and delicious?
