RECIPE:
Brown Bag Chef’s Salad
(View in html or pdf.) The old-fashioned strawberry shake is still a popular menu option for many of us. Just break out the blender, pick a few strawberries (a great opportunity for exercise) and add the ice cream for a great dessert. To make this a healthier menu idea, pick the strawberries yourself, use a lower fat ice cream and make serving sizes a bit smaller than usual. Now all can enjoy without feeling guilty! |
