Memorial Day weekend countdown!


Perhaps the weekend is actually still a couple of days away....but you know we like to plan ahead. 
If your long weekend plans include a barbecue or picnic, we want to make sure your grocery shopping list is all set.  


And while the weekend should be about celebrating and enjoying the unofficial beginning of summer with some of your favorite treats, it's no surprise we're hoping you'll make a few healthy choices. 

Eating Well has some great ideas for you and we're excited about a few of them. You do, after all, have three days to fill. 


Keep in mind your selections from the picnic basket, grill or backyard barbecue spread aren't just about calories. It's important to watch your sodium, sugar and cholesterol too.  But you don't have to miss out on all the delicious fun just because you're watching your waistline. 


If you're as excited as we are to break out the grill, we love the Grilled Pizza with Pesto, Tomato and Feta recipe 

If you're all about the traditional picnic foods, this Country Potato Salad recipe just might do the trick


Or if you're looking for a twist on the Cheeseburger, this recipe is something to try


We're hungry already. 

Tune in tomorrow for dessert ideas. And on Friday for cocktails. 
We told you we'd have you covered.
