\nOur Lady of Weight Loss Approved Guilt-Free Recipes for the Grill that Will Give You a Thrill!<\/strong><\/em>
\nGRILLED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM BURGERS
\n<\/strong>
\nIngredients:<\/strong>
\n4 Large Portobello Mushrooms
\n4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
\nRock or Kosher salt and pepper to taste
\n4 ounces low-fat mozzarella
\n4 large pieces roasted red pepper (You can roast yourself or if you go with the ready made stuff, pat it down with a paper towel.)
\n4 Whole wheat pitas or 8 slices of light bread
\nGreens (arugula, iceberg, whatever you like!)
\nInstructions:<\/strong>
\nOne mushroom cap per sandwich.
\nRemove and discard mushroom stems.
\nBrush top of mushroom cap with a bit of extra-virgin olive oil.
\n(You really do not need to slather it on.)
\nSeason with salt and pepper.
\nLightly coat your grill with cooking spray.
\nGrill mushrooms, covered, for approximately 4 minutes; turn and grill another 3. Until tender.
\nPlace flat side of mushroom up on the grill, top with a thin slice of low-fat mozzarella and a nice juicy piece of red pepper.
\nCover and cook one minute more, until cheese is melted.
\nAt same time, toss your roll, pita or light bread onto the grill until lightly toasted.
\nNow … put a layer of greens on the bread (or in the pita) top with a mushroom cap w. melted cheese and add a bit of low-fat mayo or pesto sauce.

\nGRILLED VEGETABLES<\/strong>
\nPut sliced vegetables such as zucchini, yellow squash, onion and red pepper on a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil.
\nPour a mixture of 1 tbsp. melted butter, 1\/2 tsp. garlic salt, 1\/4 tsp. Italian seasoning and dash black pepper over vegetables.
\nWrap tightly. Cook on grill 15 minutes.

\nTHE BEST EVER GUACAMOLE<\/strong>
\nIngredients: <\/strong>
\nTwo ripe avocados
\nOne plum tomato
\nOne jalapeno chile (seeded and finely chopped)
\n1\/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
\n1\/3 cup chopped sweet onion (vidalias are always good)
\nsalt to taste
\nPlain tortilla chips (baked, if you like!)
\nInstructions:<\/strong>
\nPlace jalapeno, cilantro, onion and salt in mortar; with pestle grind away. It’s okay if the onions are a bit chunky.
\nCut avocados in 1\/2. Twist in opposite directions to separate. Slip spoon in, scoop fruit out and place on cutting board.
\nChop into chunks.
\nCut tomato in 1\/2 – crosswise. Gently squeeze to get seeds out.
\nNow add avocado and chopped tomato to onion mixture in mortar.
\nMash. Spoon until blended with some of the avocado chunks still intact.
\nServe immediately.
