Two Winning USANA Recipes to Try This Weekend

‘Tis the season for summer barbecues, so inevitably you’re going to be asked to bring something along.

Cue the panic.

Here’s my worst fear

• I bring something to a party that no one likes.
• I look around and people are leaving it on their plates.
• No one gets seconds.
• Ultimately, I have to take the vast majority of my ‘contribution’ back home.
• I’m embarrassed and question whether I can even see those friends again.

Seriously I’ve had nightmares about this stuff.

To avoid this, I’ve started asking people for recommendations. That way even if it’s a failure, you can blame someone else!

In case you’re anything like me and you have serious food anxiety, here are 2 USANA recipes that a panel of judges have taste-tested and deemed totally barbecue-worthy. Hedge your bets, people.
