National Nutrition Month

We are all getting ready for Spring. Lose those 20 pounds we gained over the winter. Plus maybe lose another 10 pounds to fit into the favorite Jeans of yours. They say March is National Nutrition Month. What timing. Some are into March Madness, and some are into getting their cholesterol down, or both. Cholesterol Damages and clogs the arteries, it plays a life-giving role in many functions of the body. As much as this family here loves to BBQ out, I've decided to just cook vegetables on the grill for dinner one night a week. Fresh carrots wrapped up in tin foil with a little low fat butter. How about some fresh green beans also, add some fresh garlic to it also. Corn on the Cobb I suggest using the old method I grew up with. Remove the silk but keep the husk on. Soak it in salt and sugar for about one or two hours, then throw that on the grill. Make it your favorite, or if you want a little starch, take a red potato and cut in up in four pieces. Microwave it for 1 minute on each side then throw it in the tin foil with the carrots or green beans. It's a little starch, but not a whole lot. One more favorite is Asparagus on the grill. Soak the asparagus for about 15 minutes. You could rub a little olive oil on the asparagus, and throw it on the grill. My niece told me about one of her favorite dishes is asparagus wrapped in bacon, and I think that is great to get a teen to eat asparagus. Last of my favorites is bell pepper and onions, sliced and sauted on the grill. You could marinade the vegetable for about 10-15, or brush them with olive oil. One of my favorite marinades is olive oil, lemon juice and crushed garlic. If you want to replace oils all together, trying using a low-fat cooking spray. They say a glass of red wine can be good for you. I just happen to make it a big glass. There is nothing like hanging out on the patio, grilling your vegetables to make a person relax. Just think how cool you will keep your house in the summer from not cooking on the stove.

When it's nights to add some meat to your diet. Try the boneless, skinless chicken thighs they cook real well on the grill without boiling first. Especially when you're out camping somewhere, the last thing you want to do is an extra step like boiling. They are not as thick as the breasts, and very juicy yet. If you have the ingredients to marinade ahead of time. That helps. Vegetables are so great anytime. They don't spoil as easy, and easy to store. The next time you are sitting out on your patio or out camping and thinking, what should I cook for dinner tonight. Think about the great recipes mentioned earlier. Either way they will help lower your cholesterol some, lose a little weight and fit into the outdoor clothing you love so much.
