The sun is out and that can only mean one thing….it’s BBQ season! Many people associate BBQ’s with unhealthy food but if you make your own burgers with lean mince or chicken skewers and serve them with salad and roasted vegetables then you can make some really healthy BBQ meals.

So here is hoping that the fantastic weather continues so we can get the BBQ out and cook some healthy BBQ meals and enjoy the sunshine!

To get you started here is a recipe for BBQ Thai Prawns, something a little different from the normal homemade burgers and chicken skewers. They are simple to make and incredibly tasty and yummy too! Enjoy!
