As we recently told you, using fresh herbs in your grilling marinades can minimize the chance of harmful HCAs forming while your food cooks on the grill. And, as an added bonus, the herbs add a healthy, calorie-free and flavorful kick to your favorite recipes.

So next time you're preparing to grill, consider adding rosemary, thyme, organo, dill or sage to your marinade, to complement other healthy ingredients like olive oil, vinegars and citrus juices. You can pick these up at your supermarket, but consider growing your own in the garden -- you'll save money and guarantee that you get the freshest herbs possible.
