Make good, healthy choices and grill on!<br \/>\n<strong>PILE HIGH<\/strong> your plate with grilled eggplant, peppers, onions, corn and portobello mushrooms&#8230; a veritable veggie feast.<br \/>\n<strong>LEAVE YOUR BUN BEHIND<\/strong>. Do a burger lettuce wrap. No kidding, it&#8217;s really good.<br \/>\n<strong>DUMP THE SUGAR DOUSED BBQ SAUCE<\/strong>. Use mustard, ketchup and salsa instead.<br \/>\n<strong>GET HIGH ON HEALTH<\/strong>. A Margarita has more calories than the meal itself. Cut up a few cucumber slices, place in pitcher full of water and pour yourself a refreshing tall glass. Bottoms up!<br \/>\n<strong>SWAP IT.<\/strong> Trade in your bacon cheeseburger for a turkey burger or a veggie burger! Add lettuce, tomato, pickles and whatever else you like, plus some mustard and ketchup. Big yum.<br \/>\n<strong>PASTA SALAD.<\/strong> Go for it! Mix up some whole-wheat penne with tons of fresh zucchini, asparagus, onions, peppers.<br \/>\n<strong>DESSERT! Yay!
