I'm looking for recipes for the George Foreman grill. I have had one for about a year and rarely use it, but I think it could be used to make some pretty great (and lean) meals. I'm up for anything...meat, veggies, etc...anything you can make on it. Thanks!

    Oh gosh, I cook everything on my GFG. It it will fit, I cook it. I actually have 2. I got a small one from my brother for Christmas and I just bought a larger one a couple months ago. The small one I use for my veggies and fruit, Yes, I said fruit. And the large one I use for my meats.

    As a matter of fact, I just cooked a chicken breast for my dinner and it took 5 minutes. I love it because it is quick and easy.

    Anything that you can cook on stove top or in the oven, you can cook on the grill, and it will be really good.

    I made some steak pinwheels last week- really good!

    Take a thin steak cut, pound out out thinner... add spinach leaves and roasted red peppers (you can buy them in a jar). Roll up jelly-roll style with the grain of the meat going left-to-right. Then you can cut the steak roll into thin pinwheels, secure with toothpicks- and after just a few minutes on the grill- Yummy!

    Original recipe calls for wrapping the steak in par-cooked bacon, and making a blue-cheese sauce for drizzling over, but probably could drop those two for a healthier version!

    I usually stick to burgers and chicken, but I'd love more ideas.

    I read on a similar thread that if you don't want to "squish" the food you can prop the top with a little metal portion cup or anything else small that can stand the heat.

    love the gfg. Put a bunch of sliced onions and peppers on there. Nothin' like grilled onions on whatever your having.
    It's also great for fish, (salmon it best), grilled zucchini (cut lengthwise) also eggplant are super yum. Possibilities are endless.

    Throw all your meats on it! marinate chicken in low cal Italian dressing then grill it! Use your favorite spices to pork or beef and throw those on there too. Serve with brown rice and veggies or salad. Also, you can use it as a panini press! You'll need a sturdy type of bread like focaccia, then grill up your veggies on it like zucchini, add that to your sandwich with some chicken, and press it! add whatever else you like: tomatoes, onions, red wine vinegar, etc, etc. the possiblites are endless! :laugh:

    I'll add it to a dessert too... Mmmmmm.

    Also on another note Per my W/L DR (I have PCOS too) he said that studies show more protein in the morning helps keep you satisfied more during the day.... He told me that on Friday so I am trying to get my morning protein in....LOL He said even with non-breakfast foods....I may have to start a thread for that. :)

    Happy Grilling!!!

    You need to find your GFG in you stuff... you will love how handy it is. I hate to handle raw chicken and it is so easy to go from frozen to cooked if you use the tenderloins. I think if it was breast it may take a while to cook and could burn a little. Maybe others have more experience with this.

    Also love my GFG, we got the 360 for christmas it's great because the plates are removable and so easy to clean.

    i use it all the time it's so easy to just throw a little seasoning on a plain chicken breast and it cooks it perfectly. I also usually cook an extra breast to cut up later for salads. I avoid using it with fish because though it's non stick I have found that fish tends to stick to the top of it. The one exception that I've had is with salmon and again my George Forman cooked it perfectly!
