Firing up the grill is synonymous with afternoons spent poolside or evenings relaxing by a sparkling lake. While it’s hard to imagine summer barbecues getting old, a little extra sizzle never hurts.

It’s hard enough to skip mindless snacking, but when the holidays hit or someone unloads a tablescape of doughnuts, candy, and other not-so-healthy treats, the challenge to skip junk food at the office is even more difficult.

If you have a garden or frequent the farmers’ markets, you’re sure to relate to the challenge of having to eat up all of your in-season produce. While this is certainly not a chore, it’s important to get creative so you won’t be stuck with the same meal day after day.
