The upcoming Fourth of July holiday usually includes get-togethers with family and friends that involve some great bbq and other summer-time favorites. Unfortunately, some of these foods aren’t very healthy. Instead of depriving yourself of your favorite summer-time foods you can enjoy healthier versions by swithching to lighter recipes that taste great but cut down on the fat, calories, sugar, and salt.

Here are a few web sites where you can find healthy recipes for the grill, side dishes and desserts:
