RIDGEWOOD, N.J., June 1, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Although summer entertaining seems like a breeze, planning ahead is important if you want to keep your cool.
"You don't have to leave home to soak up the summer," says Food Network host Marc Silverstein. "Have a casual backyard BBQ, with appetizers and buffet style meals. No pressure, just good food."
While it's always tempting to just open the grill and slap on some meat, America is still a diet-crazed nation, and eating healthy is on everyone's mind. After all, it's swimsuit season. From grilling light to packing on-the-go picnics, Silverstein can offer viewers the following tips:
-- Creative ways to host hot parties
-- How to choose the right meats, veggies, and buns for delicious
(and light!) summer grilling
-- How to avoid packing on the pounds
