Wow! What a summer- road trips, baseball games, the beach, soccer, lots of great food and a lot of great memories. And at the end of those glorious days comes the extra pounds, maybe not for everyone... On my end, summer can be quite indulgent, so a great resolution for the Fall season is changing-up eating habits. Especially as things get busier in the months of September, October and November.

It helps to eat the right things to keep on movin’. ‘Cause as soon as the Christmas Holidays come around, everyone loses sight of any sage advice about healthy meals.

In the meantime, I wanted to pass along some notable meal recommendations that I received over the summer; meals that I really enjoy and which will give you great taste. I also recommend drinking a lot of water with these meals. If you get bored of regular water, mix-up your favorite juice with sparkling water; less sugar content with a carbonated punch.

BREAKFAST

Vegetable Scramble

chopped mixed vegetables (try tomato, peppers, onion or mushrooms) and scramble with eggs. Serve with 1 slice whole grain toast. (If the eggs won’t work, try using chopped, medium-firm tofu instead.)

Bagel Pizzas

Toast a whole grain bagel half and top with tomato sauce, a slice of deli turkey or chicken, chopped peppers and a little grated cheese. Place under the broiler to melt the cheese.

LUNCH

Thin-Crust Taco Pizza

Spread a tortilla with tomato sauce, cooked chicken, sliced peppers and a sprinkle of grated light cheddar cheese. Broil until warm and golden.

Tabouleh Salad

I could eat this all day with loaves of pita bread. Enjoy this impressive, yet easy meal salad. Make by combining cooked, whole wheat couscous with fresh parsley and tomatoes. Season with a favourite light vinaigrette dressing.

SNACKS

- red and green grapes with low fat cheddar cheese
- apple slices with peanut butter or yogurt (or occasionally melted dark chocolate)
- pita with hummus or tzatziki sauce

DINNER

Easy Seafood Burgers

Enjoy one of these patties (made of tuna, salmon, or lobster) on a whole grain bun with a lettuce leaf and slice of tomato. As an alternate, enjoy the patty as the protein component of a salad meal.

Eating right for a new season is as important as eating right for the last. Lemme know what new meals you’re excited about this season.
