Now I know you all know how much I loooooooooove to cook, and how great I am at it… but, like I promised, I am trying to get better! I even bought myself a new grill last spring in an attempt to cook more.
It’s working! I love using the grill, so I thought I’d share a few of my favorite things to make. I’d love to hear yours – make sure to leave a comment!
First, I love the steak marinade recipe from Tricia at Once a Month Mom. There’s nothing to it, and it turns out so well. I have made it twice – once with strip steaks and once with t-bones, and it was a hit both times. It is sooooo good. (And if anyone can tell me the secret to preventing flame flare-ups, that would be awesome.) (And speaking of fire, I didn’t get a picture of this unfortunately because my husband was totally not amused, but you should have seen our attempt at grilling ribs. Let’s just say that rib night very quickly turned into grilled cheese night. And yes, I burnt the first sandwich too.)
I have also discovered grilled corn on the cob, and it is amazing. Check out this site – I googled “How to grill corn on the cob,” and wouldn’t you know it, I came up with step-by-step directions on a site called GrilledCornontheCob.com. I love the internet.
Thanks to the internet, I have also discovered the joys of grilling fruit. First, I tried grilling peaches using this recipe. Nothing to it – and over ice cream… YUM.
Grilling peaches was so good that I went back to google and looked for more grilled fruit recipes. I discovered that it’s also possible to grill strawberries and bananas. I haven’t tried either, but I am dying to do so!

What else do you have for me? I’d love to hear about your favorite things to grill! And for more Things I Love Thursday, head over to The Diaper Diaries.
Grilled squash is awesome, top rack, a little bit of olive oil, and a few minutes…yummie! We do ribs on the grill, using TLW’s home made BBQ Sauce.
As to things I love to do Thursday…my blogs about tanning today!!

Nothing beats a good steak on the grill. The bananas on the grill are great, google bananas foster (i think that is what it is called) it is a recipe where you pour this sauce over the hot banana and add ice cream. It is great.
Delish.com has a recipe for Grilled Candy Bars that sounds YUMMY! I haven’t tried it yet, but it’s in my ‘things to try’ file (yes, I have a sickness….can’t…stop…keeping…recipes!!) It sounds pretty much like a s’mores, but all the stuff is contained in a little tortilla, and the whole thing is wrapped in foil and cooked on the grill. This is a good site for recipes in general, but I’ve noticed they have quite a bit of grilling recipes as well. Might be a good place for you to check out! 🙂
This is our absolute favorite on the grill, and skirt steak is super cheap: http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/skirt-steak-with-crispy-garlic-potatoes We don’t do the watercress salad, because who really eats watercress? I can’t find the recipe online for the cilantro sauce I make, but I’ll check back in.
Aspargus is great – a little olive oil & a little coarse salt.
Pineapple is awesome on the grill!
Individual pizzas can be fun to do on the grill also. You grill the dough first, add your sauce, toppings, etc – then throw it back on the grill to finish it off.
Have fun – Happy Grilling!
Love, love grilled corn. We grill bok choy, eggplant, all kinds of vegetables. You can make essentially an italian vinegerette and use it as a marinade for the vegetables.
I used to like to grill criminal suspects, but I haven’t done that in a long time.
I do love that recipe too! And fruit on the grill? Great idea!
