Most people will substitute turkey for ground beef when making burgers, but Heinrich suggests going a step further and making salmon burgers with a whole wheat bun or lettuce wrap.

Veggie shish kabobs, or simple grilled vegetables from a local farmer's market make for healthy and easy side options.
Henrich said her favorite way of snacking on veggies is putting a twist to an American Classic -- mac and greens.
"You can finely chop up steamed or baked broccoli, spinach, asparagus, parsley -- whatever your favorite greens are," Henrich said.

Another incredible side dish is grain-free minty tabbouleh. Tabbouleh is a lemony Middle Eastern parsley and grain salad that is traditionally made with bulgur wheat. This gluten-free version uses quinoa instead, which is super high in protein. It complements many foods and that is what makes it such a wonderful and healthy side dish.
Grilled fruit is a great dessert option; Henrich suggests grilling stone fruits like peaches, plums and nectarines.
Lastly, adding flavors to sparkling water is a quick and easy way to keep guests hydrated.
