Eating Healthy off the grill - Scrape the snow off the grill and start cooking

Any time is a good time to barbecue. My mentor and perhaps one of the greatest barbecue cooks in the USA taught me many a good technique for preparing a tasty and warm meal. Why let a little snow or ice on your grill get in your way?

We'd cook year round. Steaks, Hot Links were always a favorite. And a tasty creation called Pork Strips. I have no idea what part of the animal they come from. I just remember they were always delicious.

If you're into improving your health and all worried about what you eat try wrapping some fresh water wild salmon ( not farm raised ) in foil and throwing it on the barbecue. Add some lemon juice and maybe some fresh herbs if you have any growing in your indoor garden!

Lewie - my knowledgeable cooking instructor - was a master at tossing a variety of veggies inside a big piece of tin foil. He would add a bunch of margarine and pepper and a little salt. Those veggie combos he made always seemed to turn out very delicious.

Found the nice video below about some more healthy treats to enjoy with your barbecue - so warm up the grill, get out your best stainless steel cookware and cook up something healthy on these cold pre-winter nights.
