Back in the day, 4th of July to me was a big BBQ with hot dogs, potato salad from the supermarket, and popsicles full of artificial colors and corn syrup. 

Eating this type of food - even just on a holiday - made me feel horrible. I had a food hangover, my face looked puffy, and I was tired all the time. 

I’ve since learned that it’s not worth it to sacrifice my health and weight with additive-filled processed foods on holidays - and now I’ve figured out how to celebrate with fun and festive food that is actually healthy. 

Healthy food doesn’t need to be boring...

I put together a round-up for you of my 4th of July cookout favorites, and it features a couple new recipes - Pineapple Turkey Burgers and Grapefruit Goddess Salad - from my cookbook, Food Babe Kitchen! 

Look at all this fun healthy food...
