Summer Food Swaps

June 28, 2016

Synonymous with summer are long days, warmer temps, and barbecues. Our social calendars become packed with events that often times mean unlimited food and alcohol. Suddenly our fitness goals seem out of reach- but your nutrition can still stay on track. Look for healthier options when attending a backyard party, or cook some of our swap options at your own barbecue.

It is important to shift your dietary intake with the seasons. So the next few months are all about light, cooling foods as the temperature rises. Fill your diets with more raw fruits and vegetables. Be sure to include things like watermelon, strawberries, cucumbers, tomatoes, summer squash, and peaches.

Here are some of our favorite summertime swaps!

Typical Foods: hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad, macaroni salad, baked beans, potato chips, brownies, chips, margaritas, lemonade, condiments

Swap Options: turkey burgers, veggie burgers, cauliflower salad, summer corn salad, bean salad, watermelon feta salad, black bean brownies, spritzers, cocktails, guacamole, hummus, salsa

Recipe of the Week: Pork Tenderloin with Maple-Chipotle Sauce

May 26, 2016

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Makes: 6 servings

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon coarse-grain mustard
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons minced canned chipotles plus 2 teaspoons sauce
  • 2 pork tenderloins, about 12 ounces each, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Nonstick cooking spray

Directions:

  1. In a heavy zip-top bag, combine 1/2 cup of the maple syrup, 1/4 cup of the vinegar, and the mustard, garlic, and chipotles with sauce. Add the pork, turning to coat well. Refrigerate overnight, turning the meat in the bag once or twice.
  2. Transfer pork to paper towels and pat dry; brush each side with the canola oil. Pour the marinade into a medium skillet. Add remaining maple syrup and vinegar and the salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil. Let sauce boil 1 minute; set aside.
  3. Heat a grill to medium and mist with cooking spray. Grill pork, turning 2 to 3 times, until just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reaches 150 to 155 degrees. Brush pork with sauce in the final minutes of cooking. Transfer pork to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest 10 minutes.
  4. Slice pork into 1/4-inch slices and serve with remaining sauce.
