Whether you are throwing a get-together for Memorial Day, planning your next cookout, or just want to have some fun making dinner, these are the best grilling recipes with honey. We promise the while family will enjoy the smoky twist we give to normal food!
Summertime is nice and hot, but your kitchen doesn’t have to be!
When it comes to grilling, the health-conscious choice is clear: gas grills are better than charcoal. Why? Well, charcoal grills release more carbon and can potentially add chemical compounds to your food if it gets overly "charred." While you'd have to eat a lot of char-grilled foods to see any adverse effects, it's best to prioritize using gas whenever possible.
But don't just take our word for it. During a BBQ with my health-conscious friends, I used a gas grill instead of charcoal. The feedback was astonishing. They all agreed that the food tasted cleaner and fresher. One friend even mentioned that they didn't feel heavy after eating, which they typically experienced after BBQs. I realized that choosing the right grill can greatly impact the overall experience.
So, if you're a health enthusiast looking for a healthier grilling option, switch to gas and taste the difference.
