This is the time of year when we whip out the grill, the sunscreen, and the sprinklers. You can add fun marinades to the same meat or fish you usually bake or broil. Not only do you lose half the saturated fat you will also enjoy those flavors that only the outdoor grill can bring out.
Grilled shallots are a great addition to a summer veggie kabob.
Color it up with red, yellow, and green bell peppers. So if grilled sirloin or salmon steaks are not your style, try one of the newest meatless wonders. We've got our choice of veggie dogs, links, sausages and burgers. And, don't forget the condiments to really bring out the flavor - perhaps even fresh from your very own garden or the local farmers market. Try slicing a juicy pineapple or mango into long pieces about a quarter of an inch thick and grilling them until you see the color change.
