    To help with some healthy fare and great things for cookout, if any one is interested in the recipes I have two that are light and good for you:
    Watermelon salad (just did this one over the weekend and so far the taste testers are saying Yum!) and Cucmber salsa (got such a resounding Yum! from the taste testers that I had to make two batches of it just to get everybody that wanted some!

    I'm at work now and I don't have the recipes with me, but if anybody is interested, I'll post them tonight when I get home after dance class so there is time for those that want to make it to have time to get the ingredients, just let me know!
