<br>ASK HUNGRY GIRL 
<br>
<br>Dear Hungry Girl,
<br>
<br>Is margarine (or some other margarine-like spread) better for you than real 
<br>butter?  I have heard that real butter is better (for our hearts) because our 
<br>bodies know how to process it.  Yet I know that spreads are lower in 
<br>calories.  What do you think?
<br>
<br>Baffled 'Bout Butter
<br>
<br>  
<br> 
<br>Dear Baffled,
<br>
<br> 
<br>
<br>Excellent Q.  Since I am NOT a medical professional or even a nutrition 
<br>expert (I'm just hungry), I didn't think I could tackle this one solo. I enlisted 
<br>the help of my very knowledgeable (and helpful) pal, Delia Hammock, who 
<br>also happens to be the Nutrition Director for Good Housekeeping.  Lucky us --
<br> here's her quote now!  "When it comes to heart health, soft margarine and 
<br>spreads definitely top butter because they have less artery-clogging 
<br>saturated fat. Spreads often have fewer calories too."  Delia also has some 
<br>advice for die hard butter-lovers.  "If you prefer butter, cut calories by 
<br>choosing whipped butter or light butter or a butter blend (like Land O' Lakes 
<br>Light Butter w/Canola) and use it judiciously when flavor is of prime 
<br>importance (like when topping veggies or toast)."  She also recommends 
<br>avoiding both butter and margarine for cooking, explaining that we're better 
<br>off using small amounts of heart healthy oils like olive and canola, or a few 
<br>shrpitzes of a non-stick cooking spray.  Sounds good to me.  Thanks, Delia.

<br>Dear Hungry Girl,
<br>
<br>Summer is here and everyone knows what that means...BBQ TIME!!!  I am 
<br>hosting one myself for a large group of friends and I plan on serving burgers 
<br>and hot dogs (Boca Burgers of course!) but I don't know what else to serve. 
<br>I don't want to resort to anything that is too terribly unhealthy but I want the 
<br>food to be fun and delicious for my guests. What are some ideas for snacks 
<br>and party foods that are fun and healthy?
<br>
<br>BBQer in Need
<br>
<br>  
<br> 
<br>Dear BBQer,
<br>
<br> 
<br>
<br>Barbecues are easier than you think. I bet you'll be able to have a super-
<br>successful event and people won't even realize they're eating healthy food. 
<br>Boca Burgers (as you said) are good. But get some lean beef and turkey 
<br>burgers as well (white meat, if possible).  As far as dogs are concerned, I 
<br>like either Hebrew National's 97% Fat Free Beef Franks or Ball Park's Fat 
<br>Free Turkey Franks. Chicken breast is also an AWESOME, good-for-you BBQ 
<br>food. On to the cole slaw.  Check out my recipe here, or get some at 
<br>your local market and rinse off most (or all) of the mayo using a strainer 
<br>(great little tip!). Grilled veggies are always a hit, so feel free to toss some of 
<br>those on the barbie as well.  Next, whip up some fruit kabobs by skewering 
<br>chunks of cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon, pineapple, strawberries and 
<br>kiwi. Stick them into the outside of a halved pineapple and people will ooh 
<br>and ahh all day over these adorable and delicious things (trust me!).  Wash it 
<br>all down with pitchers of my famous lemonade, made of fresh squeezed 
<br>lemons, Splenda, Sugar Free Torani syrup (I prefer raspberry, strawberry or 
<br>peach for this!).  Still looking for more ideas?  How 'bout crudite (veggie 
<br>platter) with lowfat dressing,  frozen fruit bars (most have under 100 
<br>calories), or Guiltless Gourmet tortilla chips and salsa?  Good luck -- and 
<br>don't forget to tell me when it is and where to be...  ;)
