Here are some tips to grill more often and clean less pans in the kitchen later.


1. Buy your chicken, steaks and fish during a stop to your local market. We love Wegmans. They have a great seafood selection and organic meats.

2. Prepare Ziploc bags, lemon, olive oil, oregano, black pepper, Kosher salt and crushed garlic. For chicken, you can also add yogurt.

3. Place meat in one meal portions into the Ziploc bags. So for a family of 4, place 4-6 thighs in the bag or one steak for each member depending on what they will eat. My kids eat 2-3 drumsticks each. So plan according to appetite.

4. Fill each bag with a sprinkle of the ingredients I mentioned above. So for fish and chicken add more lemon, and for steaks, add more spices. Lamb chops also are great for this.

5. Mix the bag together and throw it in the freezer. Every morning, take out one bag and grill that night. You can always customize spicing and add ingredients later.

Grilling is easy if you plan ahead. Save on cleaning and calories.

We have some side dish recipes here if you would like to try something low calorie and good.

Thanks! That sounds really yummy. Do you have a local Med Market that you recommend?

Great idea. Lamb is actually preferred in the Mediterranean over beef. We usually add oregano and olive oil to that recipe you just gave. If you can find Pepper paste at a local Med Market, you have it as good as it can ever get!

Thanks for the suggestion! We grill nearly every night. A great recipe for lamb kabobs is to mix plain yogurt (I like to use Greek yogurt) with two or three minced garlic cloves. Cut some lamb into chunks. Salt and pepper the lamb and then mix the yogurt and garlic in and let sit for 15-20 minutes. Then place the lamb chunks onto skewers. This makes great kabobs!
