As you strive to make yours a healthy family while balancing the stresses of a hectic work schedule, especially if you have teenagers, consider instituting this proven--albeit counterintuitive--policy of carte blanche snacking and "dessert" following each dinner. This new-found freedom and expected daily treat is a sure way to hook your young ones on healthier eating patterns and leave them craving nutritious nosh, not junk. Best of all, this system "operates in the background" while you are at work and whether or not you have time to cook.

Heat up the grills and get the most out of the season! Grill your weight off by keeping the flavor up and the calories down! Switch up your protein source from chicken to seafood to lean cuts of beef and pork to keep from getting bored. Take advantage of all the fresh fruits and vegetables by eating lots of flavorful (and colorful) salads and side dishes.
I am going to list a couple of my favorite healthy grilling sauces:
Coffee-Balsamic Marinade
Ingredients
Dissolve coffee in hot water in a small bowl. Stir in vinegar, brown sugar, oil, garlic, pepper and salt. Use 1/2 cup to marinate beef or pork. Reserve remaining marinade for basting.
Ingredients
Combine lemon juice, mustard, oil, sugar, pepper and salt in a small bowl. Use 1/2 cup to marinate shrimp, tuna, chicken or vegetables. Reserve remaining marinade for basting.
Experiment with your sauces and spices and use FLAVOR to keep your meals exciting. Lean protein and healthy vegetables will help you reach your goals so get to grilling!
