It’s getting hotter. However, changing eating habits have never been easier. More emphasis are placed on fresh produce ingredients steamed, roasted or just eaten raw in salads. The transition from heavier winter fare to lighter summer ingredients result in less weight gain.
Taking cues from a Bon Appetit-”Islands Of The Mediterranean ” Issue, May 2002, it has a lot of delicious recipes from the different regions where the hot summer days focus on creative ways to use local ingredients.
Of course, Mediterranean recipes are found online.
Grilled chicken, meat and fish along with different rice’s and pasta’s. Don’t forget the olives and lemon slices to squeeze over everything.
Desserts: Fresh fruits, cheeses with some honey and toasted almonds.
Use lighter wines and mixed drinks made with rum and soda, garnished with a slice of lemon
What a fun and healthy way to spend the summer!!!
