Grilling is a great option for cooking foods using a minimal amount of added fat. The heat of the grill browns the outside of the food, sealing in rich flavors. Using direct or indirect heat, almost any food can be grilled including lean cuts of meat, poultry, fish, tofu, vegetables and fruits. Get creative by utilizing skewers, grill-top baskets and foil-packets.

Fruits and vegetables can boost the flavors of any meal.

Add mashed berries or avocado slices onto a grilled cheese sandwich. Dice some grilled berries, watermelon or stone fruits, and add to pasta salad. For breakfast or a snack, serve grill peaches filled with oatmeal, cottage cheese or yogurt.
