Last summer was my first time to grill. I grilled a lot of fantastic veggies along with carne asade, ribs and burgers. I plan to branch out a lot more this summer and try butterflied marinated chicken weighted down with wrapped bricks. I’m also going to try steak-like fish like mahi mahi & maybe sea bass. It’s a little intimidating but I may even try to roast a tri tip over indirect heat.

I think one of my favorite things to grill is fresh corn on the cob. I peel back the husks without detaching them – pull off all the silk strands – drizzle on a little melted butter, salt, and pepper – pull the husks back over the cobs – then grill, turning often, until the corn is toasty and roasty and oh so good. Eat straight away or cut the kernels off the cob and use in salads.

We try and grill all year even when it’s 20 degrees outside, we have a Weber charcoal and cheap gas grill.. Our favorites in good weather are butterflied leg of lamb, just made this twice in the last month, boy it was still cold outside.
Grilled shrimp (marinated) with grilled asparagus over a salad, beats the winter chill.
My favorite vegetables, sweet potato with red onion, chili powder, ketchup in foil packs. Also like baby Japanese eggplant with a drizzle of flavored oil, grilled then serve with goat cheese or feta and really good balsamic.
Lets face it everything is better Grilled.

* Balsamic marinated chicken breasts, top with fresh mozzarella and a tomato basil bruschetta topping. Serve with salad and homemade crusty bread (Artisan bread in five)
* Greek chicken thighs – marinate in homemade greek dressing, serve with greek salad, pita and tzatziki sauce
* Grilled steak – serve with brandy espresso peppercorn sauce. (basicly Ree’s brandy cream sauce, but add instant espresso.

One of my favorite things to grill are tator tots. We thaw them a little and then put them on a pizza pan with holes and sprinkle with Lawry’s sault. We also do a lot of flatbread pizzas. The arugula, fig and prociutto one on this site is a favorite.

1) Potato and onion. I slice a potato in 1/8″ slices leaving the bottom all connected, then I take onion slices and put it in each potato slice. I put salt, pepper and butter on top. Wrap in aluminum foil, put on grill and turn it a few times. Takes about 30 minutes.

2) White fish (flounder, haddock or cod) covered with lemon slices, salt, pepper, either olive oil or butter, wrap in aluminum foil and put on grill. Turn once. Takes about 15 minutes.

Some of my favorites are:

Beer Can Chicken (with beautifully browned crispy skin)
Mixed veggies in a grill basket (usually zucchini, onion chunks, yellow squash, peppers of all colors, pineapple, cherry tomatos and mushrooms)
BBQ roasted red potatoes (we use disposable tin pans but you can also use foil
Cajun Grilled Shrimp (we usually use the U10 or U12 – depending on what I can find)
Grilled Pizzas

Can’t wait for summer – it’s still raining here)
