All American...
So, I learned something interesting this past weekend. According to my boyfriend, nearly all red-blooded American men have a grill, know how to grill, or desire to grill at any moment.
Well, I would like to be the first to say...I think grilling is a spectacularly healthy and delicious way to pack both a charry, depth of flavor while minimizing fat and thereby keeping your meal low-fat and low-calorie.
We made shish-kebobs this past weekend. Dark meat chicken for him, white meat chicken for me. Peppers, onions, and zucchini.
We marinated the chicken for several hours in a greek yogurt, garlic and citrus sauce. Homemade of course with fat-free greek yogurt and fresh lime juice, zest, and garlic. We then skewered up our delights, took them to the grill, he of course doing the grilling while I was enjoying the pool nearby.
We then took a taste, and WOW...flavor galore. No added fat! I'm telling you people, this is one great way to enjoy a meal.
With that...I bid you all to be red-blooded Americans and buy yourself a grill, or borrow one.
Cheers!

Haha so true. Grilling is in the Y chromosome. We don't have a grill here (usually can't have one on the second floor) but I wish we did. Maybe we can figure out how to get one anyway. Ka-bobs are fantastic; cherry tomatoes with bell peppers and onion, yum.
