What are you barbequing this weekend.....

I'll be stoaking up the grill with burgers and dogs.  Gotta love the grill.  Don't know what I'm having yet.

Hey Rose and everyone else too. I love to grill. Aspargus is my favorite on the gril. l Sliced pineapple & peaches are awesome on the grill too. The flames make the fruit crystalize and it is yummy.  I bought a small steak, sprinkle a little montreal steak seasoning and have veg's. I usually marinate the veg's in a little olive oil with some seasonings and cook them til they get nice grill marks on each side.

Enjoy ((HUGS)) Elissa

Hi Elisa....I have heard about grilled aspargus.....but havent figured out how to do it yet.  When I make asparagus, I usually marinate them in olive oil , fresh garlic and fresh ground pepper.  But I usually pop them in the oven in my meatloaf pan.  How long do you grill the aspargus?   Rose

Rose,

Grilled asparagus is awesome on the grill.  I don't think that there is anything that I haven't tried on the grill at least once in regards to veggies.  I just love the taste.  As for cooking I usually marinate them in a little garlic and olive oil, then throw them on the grill.  Keep a good eye on them for only a few minutes.  I usually just like them to a "crisp/tender" doneness.  but if you like them softer just keep them on the grill a bit longer.

Hope this helps,
Kris

Marinate in your favorite oil and garlic spices ( I sprinkle a little locatelli cheese on it when almost done), put across the grids and turn after a few minutes. 8-10 minutes tops. 
I saute them in a skillet if not on the grill. The cheese gets a lil crispy and oh so good. ((HUGS)) Elissa

I bought fresh asparagas at Trader Joe's also.  Yum  yum  yum

Would you believe that my daughter told me that she volunteered for work today at the mall......and after all my barbeque plans.  Well, at least she will be home for dinner.  Barbequing isnt as fun for for one self.....so lunch will be simple.  Rose   

The weekend is going to be a busy one for us this year in the Lyall Household.  We have a friend staying with us so on Sunday we will be grilling at home.  Nothing fancy as we have a 4th of July party that we will all be going to on Monday.

As for Sunday tho -- we will probably be grilling some chops with some fresh veggies and maybe a small baked potato on the grill as well.

Monday -- Since we will be going to a friends house for a huge get together that's where I will be doing most of my cooking.  The menu that I will be taking as of right now is Garlic and Herb marinated chicken tender skewers, cannelini bean salad, quinoa-grapefruit-cucumber salad, and a Chinese cabbage salad (all wls friendly).  And then for dessert I will be taking Strawberry Cannolis and a fresh strawberry cheesecake

I love, love, love to cook, but because of recent surgeries I have not been able to do as much cooking as I would like to.  But assuming everything turns out well I will post the recipes for you later.

Have a safe and happy 4th.
Kris
