July is the perfect month for grilling outdoors and is designated as National Grilling Month. As a Blogger and food lover I'm always interested in all the months dedicated to a specific food. But honestly, I have to admit that there are some foods that I think about every day and would like to eat more of them. And being one that likes convenience and rich flavors, one of my preferred methods of cooking is to grill.
As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist I take my health very seriously. I know that anything in excess is not a wise choice. Being a good hostess I always look for acceptable alternatives for everyone in my guest list. Although no one can beat the yummy aroma and flavor of a steak grilled over a red hot flame, there are so many other choices that can be made in addition to, or instead of steak. Life is more interesting, and so is your menu, when you try preparing different foods on the grill. Since all proteins taste better cooked on the grill don't limit yourself to only steaks, hamburgers and hot dogs. Remember to add fruits, vegetables and whole grains for balanced, nutritious and tasty meals. Everything tastes better grilled!

Once you've mastered the art of grilling the sky's the limit. In Spain the best dish made on the grill is Paella. To have an excellent Paella you need a round grain rice, fresh ingredients, and good quality Saffron. Although Paella can be cooked on a stove or in an oven, remaining true to the dish, we make it on a grill in our own yard. Now that's what I call FLAVORFUL!
