    I love the healthy twist on dinner classics. Swapping ingredients for healthier alternatives is the best way to reduce calories like using cottage cheese instead of cream for the “Skinny Mac & Alfredo” or using zucchini or spaghetti squash instead of carb-heavy noodles! I’m also super excited to try the different variations of eggplant parmesan from above. Putting quinoa in the dish is an excellent way to add protein to your meal and you’ll probably feel full sooner and more nutritionally satisfied. Being a huge fan of zucchini in cooking, I am looking forward to trying the “Wholesome Baked Zucchini Parmesan.” First, it’s not fried, which is a calorie-saver right there. Second, the summer squash is 95% water so it has very few calories, but tons of essential vitamins. Using zucchini is also a penny-saver because it is way cheaper to buy than eggplant.

    I love a dinner salad which includes grilled tuna or salmon. Put fresh, mixed garden greens, chives, green onions, grape tomatoes and some homemade vinegarette and you have the perfect summer meal. Add some lemonade or iced green tea to compliment your meal.

    My family’s favorite summertime meal is bbq steaks and pasta salad. It doesn’t heat up the house and it tastes great.
