CABOT, Vt. — Rejoice America! July is National Grilling Month, the perfect time to celebrate one of the greatest of American pastimes. And it's also the perfect time to make healthy changes in your summertime grilling habits.
While hot dogs and hamburgers are clearly at the top of the grilling pantheon, they are not the healthiest options for a summer cookout, delicious though they may be. Cabot Creamery Cooperative, the Vermont-based makers of the award winning "world's best cheddar," offer hot-off-the-grill healthier options to satisfy your need for seared cuisine.
"The possibilities are endless when it comes to grilling," says Regan Jones, Registered Dietitian and Cabot's National Nutrition Communications Manager. "I always encourage my family and friends to get creative when they grill. Sure staples like hamburgers, ribs and hot dogs are tasty, but there are so many delicious and healthy dishes to discover.
"One of my favorite foods to make on the grill is fish. Whether you are cooking with propane or over charcoal, fish stays moist and tasty and cooks fairly quickly. This translates into easy-to-make meals, like Cabot's Grilled Fish Tacos. They're low in calories, high in protein and bursting with flavor. So get out of the kitchen and fire up your grill!"
The farm family owners of Cabot Creamery offer hundreds of healthy grilling recipes and food and beverage pairings online at http://www.cabotcheese.coop/recipes. There, you'll find great grill-ready recipes like Grilled Fish Tacos, Grilled Shrimp Salad with Orange-Mint Dressing, Grilled Summer Pizza and Beer-Marinated Pork Tenderloin with Charred Corn-Cheddar Relish.
