Cooking Healthy Foods on the Grill
What comes to mind when you think about that old grill out in the backyard? Images of your dad wielding a huge spatula, flipping burgers and sliding hot dogs around the grill? Maybe steaks or barbecue ribs on occasional family reunions or summer holidays? I used to think of the grill as that big greasy black thing on the deck that charred meats and made them totally unhealthy. Then one summer, I learned that it is possible to use a grill and keep foods healthy. My change of heart began when I realized that using the oven in the summer would heat up my kitchen and the whole house. To keep the extra heat out of the kitchen, I decided to try the grill for more than just the occasional hamburger or hot dog. With a bit of research and practice, I realized that grilling could be healthy way to prepare a variety of foods. Which is good to know, because now that spring's almost here, it's almost time to get the grill ready for summer. <SCRIPT LANGUAGE= "javaScript" SRC="http://guidepolls.about.com/nutrition/7194771582/poll.js?linkback="> Daily Nutrition Tip Photo © Shane Gardner Cooking Healthy Foods on the Grill originally appeared on About.com Nutrition on Monday, March 8th, 2010 at 19:56:43.Permalink | Comment | Email this
