You really can cook just about anything on the George Foreman Grill! Check out the video!   ** My notes: I used 2% shredded mozzarella cheese to cut down on some of the fat content. I also recommend spraying the foil with cooking spray to ensure the first noodle does not stick! Also, you will need more [...]
