Halloumi – When Cheese Meets the Grill

When it comes to grilling cheese it is important to note that not all cheese can be thrown on the grill with the same results across the board. There are specific cheeses on the market that are solely made for the BBQ or a grill pan. Halloumi, the king of grilling cheese, is a salty semi-hard goat and sheep milk cheese. Due to its high melting point this cheese is definitely one that is suitable for the grill. In its raw state, Halloumi is dense and hard; not exactly the kind that you would want to display on your next cheese board. Once grilled or pan-fried, its exterior turns crispy and golden-brown while the inside softens without melting.

Grilled Fruit and Veggie Ideas

For grilled vegetables, our belief is you never know what you are going to find unless you try. It’s amazing how well most vegetables will grill and how their flavours change. The obvious zucchini, eggplant, grilled pepper medley is common on most grills. We love to add in fresh asparagus, portabello and oyster mushrooms and green onions to add some variety and texture. For your grilled peppers, add in 1 to 2 new varieties – for sweetness, try a cubanelle, or for some heat, try a banana pepper.

Superfood Sauerkraut: The Healthiest Way to Eat Cabbage

Sauerkraut is healthy for many reasons, including its exceptionally high content of L-glutamine. L-glutamine is an amino acid that is excellent for your digestive system. In fact studies have shown that it helps to heal the gut lining. Cabbage juice is an old home remedy for stomach ulcers. Why does your gut need so much L-glutamine? Because these cells in your body replace themselves every 3-7 days. That means that the stomach lining you have today is different from the one you had last week!
