As Summer approaches this month, and Father's Day is here, it signals the start of many great cookouts! Something we especially love! Here's our guide for we very lucky low carbers, who get to enjoy meat and veggies on the grill all Summer!

Let's start with a few really important safety tips:

Smart, Safe, and Healthy...

      ^{Keep it clean.}
Never use the same plate for cooked and raw meats (beef, fish, pork, chicken.)

      ^{Toss that sauce.}
Throw away marinades that were used on raw meats.

      ^{Utensils count too.}
Never touch cooked foods with utensils that were used to handle raw meat.

      ^{Cook it right.}
Cook pork to 155F, hamburgers to 160F, and chicken to 165F.

      ^{Wash those hands.}
Wash hands after handling raw meat and before you touch anything else.

      ^{Stay cool.}
Keep cold foods cold until just before serving.

      ^{Chill out.}
Put leftovers in the fridge within two hours of serving.

A cookout means more than just great taste. Make it a safe meal that's healthy and delicious. Now, here are some helpful tips for making great on-the-grill fare!
