My Health (ier) 4th of July!

When people think of the 4th of July they usually think of unhealthy foods and lots of cheat foods. And while there is nothing wrong with that, you should enjoy the day and celebrate the existence of the best country in the world =). But there are sone ways to make your choices a bit healthier like my family and i did yesterday. In Brooklyn, it is kind of hard to have an actual grill and BBQ things unless you are lucky to have your own backyard so we improvised and just made things in the oven. Not as good but you make due with what you have!...These were the foods that were on my menu yesterday; going from the top left to right

• Baked Tempeh with a homemade buffalo sauce marinade. Tempeh is basically cooked and fermented soybeans formed into a patty. Sounds weird, but it is how you make it that makes it taste good!
• Roasted zucchini
• Red potato salad with dill, peppers, red onions and fat free greek yogurt instead of mayo or sour cream
• Roasted corn on the cob
• Homemade salsa with tomatos onions green peppers and cilantro
• Yonana "ice cream". Yonana is a machine that makes "ice cream" with frozen bananas and fruit. Absolutely genius and delicious and healthy!. This mixture was banana, a couple squares of 90% dark chocolate topped with Peanut Butter & Co. dark chocolate dreams peanut butter. You have no idea how good this was. And yes while it was not my usual red white & blue theme dessert, I couldnt find anything actually clean besides a fruit salad and I'm not about that kind of life. Fruit salad does not equal dessert. Frozen fruit into ice cream however does.

Hope everyone enjoyed their holiday yesterday!
