Ever since I was a child I’ve loved the taste of grilled Kabobs . In my family, there is nothing more American than a weekend of grilling with all the fixings and a side of fries! As an adult, I’ve learned you don’t have to go to your local BBQ joint to enjoy great Kabobs. With a little trial and error, I’ve perfected my own recipe for this great American classic at home.
I actually prefer to cook my Kabobs using indoor grill. Bad weather can always put a damper on outdoor grilling but I can always pan grill my Kabobs indoors. Many people don’t realize that using electric grill can actually give the kabobs a nice, unique flavor, making it a delicious alternative to the grill.

Everyone enjoys holiday food - the cookies, cakes, casseroles, ham, the list goes on and on. Unfortunately our love of holiday food doesn’t always equate to healthy weight maintenance. I’ve found it’s perfectly OK to enjoy a few “guilty” holiday pleasures (i.e. sweets, pastries, and even candy). The trick is moderation; you simply balance out the naughty treats with healthy eating. The “health” food doesn’t need to taste bland either. With a little creativity, good recipes, and the right kitchen gadgets you may end up preferring the healthy food over the sweets!
When it comes to making healthy food that tastes great, the George Foreman grill destroys the competition. I’ve always savored the taste of grilled food but never had the time or knowledge on how to cook it the right way. With the George Foreman grill, I can easily get the flavor that only a large grill can offer and with all the convenience of an easy to use and solid design. Even though I rarely have the time or patience to cook, I find this grill to be a breeze. Its the perfect combination of health, taste, and ease of use.
