Get Your Grill On
Going to a BBQ? Plan ahead for your success.
We recommend choosing some of your favorite “legal” recipes (some of our faves, below) and bringing enough to share with others. This way you have plenty to enjoy and are not the "odd man out".
If you are going to a BBQ or special event and it falls on a milk day, contact your consultant ahead of time and they will assist you in changing your food cycle so you may have a vegetable day.
