Knock Out the Freshman 15

Knock Out the Freshman 15 with George Foreman!

August is fast approaching and graduating seniors and parents across the country are starting to get ready to send their new freshman off to school. Whether you’re freshman is moving across the country or just down the street, one of the biggest lifestyle challenges they’ll face as they live on their own for the first time ever will be the dreaded Freshman 15.

So how do you help your freshman avoid packing on 15 pounds while they’re away for the first year? George Foreman indoor grills are a perfect solution! From the time that our first Champ™ Grill was put out in the 90’s, George Foreman grills have been a compact, simple solution to getting your college student to eat better even when they’re so far away from home.

Grilled Wraps

Making Refreshing Grilled Wraps for Easy Summer Meals

Summer is in full swing and the sweltering heat being felt in most of the country can make hot, heavy meals seem less than appetizing. Instead of weighing yourself down with a hot casserole, why not take the summer months as a great opportunity to explore the wonderful world of fresh grilled sandwich wraps?

Several things make grilled wraps a great idea for a summer meal. First, they’re generally a lot lighter on the stomach than other hot meals, so you’re not faced with needing a nap after every meal. Aside from that, they’re also extremely easy to do – even if you want to make several different wraps to satisfy all the picky eaters in your house. This way, you can fix the meal, finish eating and get back your day without a lot of hassle.

Making Outdoor Grilling Healthier

How to bring Healthy Cooking to your outdoor events

As you fire up your outdoor grill for a full summer of your favorite backyard BBQ, the last thing you’re probably thinking about is how to cook healthier. However, healthy cooking is easy outdoors with George Foreman Grills. With an outdoor George Foreman grill, you can bring the healthy cooking advantages that you have on your kitchen counter to all of your outdoor events. Plus, in doing so, you can help avoid some of the health risks associated with outdoor grilling, in general.

So how do you make outdoor grilling healthier?

First, get the George Foreman outdoor grill that best suits your lifestyle. If you cook outdoors primarily around the home – particularly in an apartment or condo – then one of our electric indoor-outdoor grills (GGR50 or GGR200) is perfect. They feature George Tough™ nonstick coating so you can cook oil-free, plus the same deep ribs found on our indoor grill plates so food doesn’t sit directly on top of any fat or grease as it cooks. If you do a lot of cooking away from the home for vacations, camping or road trips, then consider a George2Go™ Propane Grill (GP200). It also features our George Tough™ nonstick coating, plus an adjustable slope so fat and grease can drain away automatically into the integrated drip tray.
