2 Nutrition Program Arlene Castro (760) , ext Healthy Tip Warm weather means grilling time with family and friends and time to enjoy delicious foods. The American Heart Association wants you to keep these important tips in mind to help you grill fat-sensibly through the warm seasons. Go for grilled fish more often. The healthiest types include salmon, trout and herring, which are high in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Buy chicken breasts, remembering to remove the skin before eating, instead of the fattier dark meat (legs and thighs). Or try grilling up chicken or turkey burgers using breast meat, and add diced onions for another layer of flavor. Go green and eat the rainbow. Serve green leafy salads or fruit salads. Instead of potato chips, which can be high in saturated and trans fats, serve raw veggies like cucumber, carrot and celery sticks, cherry tomatoes and broccoli and cauliflower florets with a low-fat dip. Lunchtime Events Lunch served at 11:30 am. Event times are listed below. Please sign up at the Front Desk or call (760) to make a reservation by 1 pm the day before.
