Tired of the same cookouts during summertime?

June 2nd, 2008

Well you should try to add variety with fruits and vegetables. With the abundance of produce available this time of year, it’s easy to consume the recommended amount of five a day. Remember More Matters!

Add flavor to your outdoor meals by cooking vegetables right on the grill. Baste firm vegetables like peppers, corn, eggplant or onions. Season them with herbs and place on a hot grill until they are tender and brown, usually about 10 to 15 minutes.

Or try sliced zucchini, cucumbers, tomatoes and carrots. Place them on a heavy-duty foil and sprinkle with water and seasoning. Wrap the foil and grill six to eight minutes or until vegetables are tender.

Include fruit in your meal by grilling kabobs on low heat until the fruit is hot and slightly golden, and you can serve with low fat yogurt dip
