Super Simple and Refreshing Summer Salad
(71 calories)

1 medium cucumber, peeled and chopped (24 calories)
2 Roma tomatoes, chopped (22 calories)
2 Tablespoons Balsamic vinegar (20 calories)
Squeeze of lemon (2-5 calories)
Pinch of salt

Mix all the ingredients together.  Let marinate for 2-24 hours.  You can eat this salad on its own or mix it with salad greens.  It is very refreshing for the summer because cucumber helps cool the body.

TRICK OR TREAT?  McDonald's Frozen Strawberry Lemonade

It's summer.  It's hot.  What is better than a nice frozen beverage?  But is it worth the calories?

The new McDonald's Frozen Strawberry Lemonade is fat free, but it still sports a whopping  270 calories for the SMALL!  That is 12 oz.  Extrapolating the other sizes, I calculated:

Small (12 oz) McDonald's Frozen Strawberry Lemonade is 270 calories!
Medium (16 oz) McDonald's Frozen Strawberry Lemonade is 360 calories!!
Large ( 20 oz)  McDonald's Frozen Strawberry Lemonade is 450 calories!!!  EEK!!!

So if you are watching calories you might want to bypass McDonald's. A low calorie option would be the Sonic Diet Cherry Limeade.  A Route 44 ( and I can't drink 44 oz) is only 26 calories.

3/4 cup Fresh Express 3 color Cole Slaw  (this is a bagged salad) (10)

Simmer the cole slaw mix in the chicken broth. The whole pot is 40 calories!!  Talk about low calorie!!  I  find warm foods to be especially filling.
