I have recently been looking at different types of Diets or I should say I want to change the way I am eating and lose some weight but also be healthier. The Dukan Diet is a high protein diet that was created by French doctor Pierre Dukan. I want to share a couple delicious and healthy recipes perfect for a Labor Day Weekend BBQ or a weekend family picnic that are perfect for those trying the Dukan Diet or who are just looking for a new healthy alternative to classic picnic dishes.

Don’t you think these sound like they would be great to bring on a picnic? They are both so easy. I am going to try a few other items in the next couple weeks from Dukan Diet I will make sure I do a review and let you know how I am doing and let you know how the products are.
