Fox 45 Morning News Segment – Summer Grilling Tips
Summer’s finally in full swing and that means we’re attending several outdoor parties. With that being said, we are also enjoying barbecue chicken, pasta salad, and other food items that can give us summer calories.
Luckily, I was able to share a few healthy eating tips on Fox 45 News, compliments of bistroMD.com

Smart tips for summer grilling, courtesy of bistroMD
“Use spices and herbs for seasonings instead of pre-made marinades/sauces which enables the cook to control sugar and sodium.
Season freshly chopped veggies with seasonings of your choice and toss in a bit of olive oil. Then wrap the veggies into a foil pouch. Place pouch on top grill rack while meat is grilling and flip occasionally. This times your meat and your veggies to complete at the same time.
Grill sliced pineapple and serve warm over Greek yogurt for dessert.
Use leftover grilled veggies the next day on a salad or as a homemade pizza topper, or use them with your leftover grilled chicken or steak for fajitas.”
At home, I had the opportunity to grill a few sliced pineapple and served over greek yogurt and it tastes delicious. I am actually planning to incorporate grilled fruits and veggies in my personal summer menu because it’s a time saver and super healthy (win-win situation.)
The recipe used was from Pritikin Longevity Center & Spa:
- 1 pineapple peeled and sliced in 1/2 inch thick pieces
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon ground
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg ground
- 1/4 cup apple juice concentrate
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Plain, nonfat Greek Yogurt
- Carrington Farms Flax/Chia Blend
Instructions:
- In a bowl combine all ingredients except pineapple, yogurt, and Flax/Chia blend
- Marinate pineapple slices in mixture for 15 minutes
- Grill pineapple on each side for 2 minutes
- Remove from heat
- Serve warm over Greek yogurt, sprinkled with Flax/Chia seeds
Overall, I had a wonderful time hosting the morning news segment and even learned a new recipe that I can use at home. As a prior nutrition teacher, this was right on target and also fun to discuss.
Don’t forget to try these tips and eat healthy this summer!
Jennifer Lopez Fly Girl Chic | Photo of The Day
Style + Life + Fashion’s Photo of The Day goes to (again) Jennifer Lopez. Lately this “fly girl” has gotten it right with her sense of style.
Jennifer’s seen wearing a fresh, fun, and flirty look while promoting her new album on BET. She definitely knows how to switch up her “fashion” according to the right occasion.
Motions Hair Care Products – Official Hair Care Sponsor for Think Like A Man Too
Think Like A Man Too came out in theaters today and I am looking forward to seeing this movie. All of the characters are hilarious and who doesn’t love to watch Kevin Hart on the big screen.
To my surprise and excitement, Motions was the official hair care sponsor for the movie. I was one of the lucky bloggers to receive a package filled with a plethora of new products. And honestly, every product that was sent smells heavenly and has done wonders for my tresses!
Because my hair is natural (4B texture to be exact) I have a difficult time finding quality products that hydrate and grow my hair. Although I love being a naturalista, I don’t consider myself to be a product junkie because once I find something that works, I generally stick with that item.
Since receiving the products, I have loved using them and my favorites out of the bunch are the Shine Enhancing Pomade, Deep Conditioning Masque, Define My Curls Creme, and Radiating Hair Gloss. In addition to sending products, I also received a personal style card from Rihanna’s hair stylist, Ursula.
Once my hair grows a bit more, I will share photos. I hope that everyone will start their “sexy” summer by seeing the movie and try out the wonderful new hair care products from Motions.
