Cooler weather invites you to get out and grill. Entice everyone to the table with lean Spice-Rubbed Flank Steak and Green Beans With Bacon. Add a side of power-packed Grilled Sweet Potatoes With Creamy Basil Vinaigrette.

You can even prepare some of these great-tasting recipes in advance, which makes this menu practical enough to serve at any weeknight or weekend gathering. Don't forget dessert: Whole Grain Marshmallow Crispy Bars are sweetly nutritious.

Healthy Benefits
• Grilling is a tasty and heart-healthy cooking method because you don't add fat to boost flavor.
• Sweet potatoes have anti-inflammatory effects and can help reduce the severity of osteoarthritis and asthma.

"Goodness From the Grill" is from the October 2007 issue of Southern Living.
