With July 4th quickly approaching, it's time to start planning what delicious dish to bring to those backyard BBQ's! Gathering around food is how we celebrate any occasion and the 4th is no different. It's a great time of year to use fresh ingredients and take advantage of the grill. Today I'm sharing a couple recipes to enjoy on Independence Day that are also on the healthy side.
