2 Great Recipes for a Labor Day Barbeque

With Labor Day tomorrow…people across the country are preparing for the last official holiday of the summer. It’s safe to say a majority of people will be enjoying a BBQ on at least one day of the long weekend. There will be more than enough hot dogs and pasta salads to fill up on, but what if you’re looking for some lighter, healthier fare to fill up on?

The great folks over at Medifast sent over these two “healthier” recipes for the TwoClassyChics blog readers to enjoy.
