Fast and healthy dinner? Great idea. Not heating up your kitchen this summer? Even better!

Grilling is the perfect alternative to the hot kitchen or take-out quandary that affects many of us this time of year. But do you have a hard time branching out from the typical hamburger and hot dog menu?

For this edition of the American Diabetes Association’s Chef Throwdown, five authors select healthy recipes to help you think outside of the house when planning your next cook out.
