Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I've been meaning for a while to write about healthy alternatives to the usual summer barbecue foods. My family hosted a desserts-only BBQ for this weekend (which turned into burgers and dogs BBQ), and I feel like I've been doing the circuit of barbecues featuring heavy slaws, burgers with lots of toppings, and rich chocolate chip cookies. While I love these foods as much as anyone, I'm trying to put together a list of the best alternative recipes from across the web to replace these often less-healthy favorites. Here's what I have:My all time favorite lemon coleslaw from Epicurious.
Citrus-spiked jicama and carrot slaw from Cooking Light.
Smitten Kitchen's black bean confetti salad.
Mark Bittman's Leek Salad on Bitten.
Raw beet salad from stonesoup.
Rhubarb soda from Culinate. Okay, not a healthy alternative, but beautiful nonetheless.
Charred corn salad from Williams Sonoma.
Feel free to add your favorite healthy summer salads and slaws, barbecued goodies and summer desserts!

Mmmmm... Served with a spinach salad, this is heaven on a plate.

Half a Cabbage
A large Fennel Bulb
Parmesan
Balsamic Vinegar
Olive Oil
Finely shred and combine the fennel and cabbage
Add as much parmesan as you like
Combine the dressing as one part balsamic to three parts olive oil and dress lightly enough to moisten leaves, but no more.
