On Fire

If you like to fire up the barbie, good for you-grilling is a healthy, low-fat way to cook. In fact, with lots of summer produce in season, try grilling your entire meal. Here are some tips from the American Dietetic Association:

Baste and season firm veggies, such as peppers, corn, eggplant and onion-and cook right on the grill until tender.

Season and wrap zucchini, tomatoes and carrots in foil with a little water. Grill until tender (about 6 to 8 minutes).

Make pineapple, peach and banana kabobs, grilling on low heat until fruit is slightly golden.



Lotion Lowdown

Massage Envy makes it easy to get a massage during your lunch hour or between the end of your work day and your dinner date. The lotions our Massage Therapists use leave your skin feeling moisturized, but not slick, so you can walk out of the clinic feeling as good outside as you do inside. The lotions are good for your skin, too, because the therapists at Massage Envy use only hypoallergenic and fragrance-free creams and lotions.
