Healthy Grilling

I don't know about any of you, but when the temperature gets 60 degrees or higher around my house the grill comes out and it doesn't go back in the garage until November! We are such a HUGE cookout family! We've only been cooking out for a couple of weeks and I'm already seeing a pattern that is NOT going to be good for my diet plan, so I asked my great friends from www.myfitnesspal.com to share their favorite healthy grill recipes! I hope you enjoy! They sound delicious!

Easily slide a few pieces of each one on and you have a delicious looking meal!! Great for cookouts too ;) eat with salad or and side dish!"

AND DON'T FORGET DESSERT! I'm dying to try this one! 


BrittHann Ingredients: Olive oil (for rubbing on the grill so the fruit won't stick - be careful about aerosol spray oils, they're flammable)
6 pieces of stone fruits (peaches, nectarines, plums - do a mix)
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar (splurge and get the good stuff, it makes a difference)
1 small peeled chunk of ginger root
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon coarse black pepper
1/4 teaspoon pink pepper (if you don't have this or don't want to get it, just double the black pepper)
Juice of 1 lemon 


"Heat the grill to high and oil it. Cut each piece of fruit in half and remove the pits and place them cut-side down on the grill. Cook them about 3-4 minutes, until they've softened and have good grill marks. Throw the rest of the ingredients in to a grill-safe pot and put it directly on the grill. It will heat up quickly and thicken. When it's thick enough to coat a spoon, it's ready. Toss the ginger root out.
Plate the fruit and pour the glaze over it. It's good served with vanilla ice cream, and I particularly like Rice Dream rice milk ice cream."

Thank you ladies, again, for these awesome recipes!
