BBQ Season
Saturday, May 26th, 2007BBQ Season has arrived.
My wife is visiting from San Francisco this week, and I must say, I’ve been getting into my BBQ grill for almost all of our dinners. A fresh salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegrette to accompany our grilled meats along with roasted red potatoes (1 potato each) has really made our meals enjoyable. Depending on the phase of the GI Diet, you can add a glass of red wine to any type of meat including fish to round out a pleasant meal, and healthy too!
For cost saving measures we tend to stick to chicken thighs instead of chicken breast meat. Meals are fast. To make them a little faster, consider microwaving your cubed red potatoes for about 3-5 minutes in the microwave. Tonight I cubed them, microwaved for 5 minutes, then in tin foil, I gathered them up, added chopped garlic, a bit of kosher salt, rosemary and sprayed the whole potatoe package with olive oil spray. Delicious!
With a fresh salad greens with olive oil and balsamic vinegrette dressing, our grilled meat meal was a perfect combination.
Now’s the time folks to enjoy your BBQ and a healthy GI diet.
