Our Grilling Experiments

I have ALWAYS loved grilled food.  It could be anything completely mediocre and I think the grill gives it that extra little nudge to be sooo tasty!  I wanted a gas grill, mostly for convenience.  But Travis convinced me that a charcoal one would be best (plus way cheaper)!  So we finally got one and have been using it so much.  I don't know how we haven't had steak yet? 

Atomic Buffalo Turds
My brother gave me the recipe, I didn't name them that.



BBQ Chicken and Grilled Pineapple Quesadillas
from Pioneer Woman




Roadside Chicken
another recipe that I got from my brother.




Kroger Brand, frozen hamburger patties!  Look at that flame from those juices!  Travis tells me that means they are done.


These are extremely delicious and juicy and they don't need any extra seasoning. These ones were Cheese & Bacon. There are others, Blue Cheese & Black Pepper and Swiss Cheese & Mushrooms. I usually don't like blue cheese or mushrooms but I'll eat these.

And in my opinion, all burgers are best with the deli-made onion buns, or onion rolls.



Carson loooves these "hamboogers!"


Inspired by my brother, Ethan, who is excellent at smoking food--my first attempt at using our grill to smoke.  We chose ribs.


We used a rub recipe that he gave me, and I used my favorite, sweet bbq sauce recipe from Rookie Cookie.



Some other things we have done are various types of grilled chicken, hot dogs, and pizza.  Pizza is one of my favorite things grilled--just basic, margherita pizza--roasted tomatoes, basil and fresh mozzarella!  Oh man I am so hungry.

My weekly menu is expanding and I love it!
