Lunch or dinner on the grill = summertime bliss! A light simple dinner with in-season produce mimics everything wonderful about this season.\u00a0 Fruit and veggies are always easier to eat when they taste at their prime.\u00a0 And yes, a fresh homemade guacamole (which I will feature this week) is ever-addicting with salty tortilla chips and a favorite drink.\u00a0 But not only is it the time for great produce, I want to feature some great items for the grill.\u00a0 Grilling is a great option to season lean, filling proteins for any meal. And next time, I think I will grill those yummy veggies, too.<\/p>\n

Feature item:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>Simply Nature Chicken Spinach Sausage<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I love seeing the overview of this plate as it simply shows a variety of good-for-you food groups.\u00a0 Fruit, veggies, guacamole (healthy fat), tortilla chips (carbs) and chicken spinach sausage (lean protein).\u00a0 This is an excellent example of how to plate a meal, and don\u2019t forget dessert.\u00a0 I know I added either a fudge bar or Brookside chocolates with almonds after this meal, like usual.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I have tried many, many chicken sausages but some are either too salty or I am unable to digest that little skin around them, blah.\u00a0 Anyone else have this problem?\u00a0\u00a0Usually I just pull off the casing and eat away. This brand of sausages I found at Aldi.\u00a0 They are low in calories with a good source of protein (70 calories; 2.5 gm fat; 0.5 gm saturated fat; 510 mg sodium; 1 gm carbohydrates; 12 gm protein).<\/p>\n

A general guideline for sodium per serving is to look at the daily value percentage.\u00a0\u00a0If an item is higher than 20% DV it is considered high<\/i>.\u00a0 For this product it ranks at 22%, not too bad. If you are watching sodium this is a good recommendation and be cautious of other items added to the meal.<\/p>\n

A little inspiration for a super easy lunch or dinner idea \u2013 ENJOY!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
