Spring Has Sprung! Let's Get Cookin'

In light of the BEAUTIFUL weather that is upon us, lets cook up some tasty and healthy spring meals!

I don't think there is anything better than a cool, crisp sandwich to go along with the warm breeze of Spring. So, how about a healthy spin on your favorite sandwiches.

Spring Tips for Healthy Sandwiches:

1. Go Whole Wheat! Whether loaf or wrap, always opt for whole wheat over white and cheesy breads. 

2. Watch out for the dressings!! Many dressings are tasty and can be deceivingly fattening. Go with low or no fat dressings or just do without. Salt/Pepper and a Light Vinaigrette dressing should spice up your sandwich and not leave you with guilt.

3. Veg? Yes, please! Nothing is better than a sandwich loaded with my favorite veggies. I never feel bad about piling them high. Sometimes, nothing else is needed. I love making veggie wraps and feel so refreshed after eating one.

4.One slice is enough for me! Do one slice of cheese, instead of two/three. It will add the flavor but not the fat.

5.Pair me up, Scotty!  Pair your sandwich with a salad or apple, instead of chips or french fries. This will do wonders on the waist line. 

Enjoy!
