Happy 4th of July and happy birthday month!!! I am turning 27 tomorrow😊 Just kidding but we are all 27 with the Holy Spirit! How is your grilling going today?? For many years my 4th of July parties consisted of keg beer, vodka and rum jello shooters and lots of burgers, chips and sour cream onion dip. But praise Jesus I have changed my thinking and my way of life through an intentional lifestyle of faith and fitness!
Here are some favorite healthy summer cookout substitutes to my once unhealthy way of life~enjoy your day!
