What are some of you favorite things to grill? Any favorite recipes or grilling tips? Mom bought Bren and me a new grill for our anniversary this year and we are having so much fun with it! I'd love to try a few new recipes.

Thanks in advance!

Fresh veggies are delicious grilled. Fish is also good. I fact, everything is good grilled. Enjoy your grilling.

We are boring, burgers, hot dogs or chicken. We will only be grilling ono the weekends this summer because of Kenny's work schedule. I hope you enjoy your new grill!

We just do normal grilling of meat and some veggies. No special recipes or anything.

We bbq a lot during the summer and have company. My favorite side dishes are homemade potato salad which is always a hit , I also make a tri color pasta cold salad dish they are both really simple . If anyone wants the receipes let me know and I will post them next time...

My hubby does the grilling and I do the sides. He grills everything from shrimp, crabs, ribs, fish, veggies, etc. You need to try grilled tomato and avocado slices. My favorite steak is that we get a whole sirloin or ribeye, hubby ages it in the frig for 10 days, then cuts it into steaks. I think some people call it delmonico steaks. It's so good.

I have a recipe for a marinate that we just love! It makes steak and chicken breasts better than any steakhouse around.

Steve's Marinate

1 cup Soy Sauce (You can use low sodium if you want to)
1/4 cup Red Wine Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar

Mix all ingredients together and add meat (Steak, Pork Chops, Chicken Breasts, etc.). The recipe says to marinate for 2 hours, but I like to marinate overnight, about 12-24 hours.
We marinated steaks in this one time while we were canoeing and grilled them over an open fire and they were the best steaks that we'd ever had!!

Thanks for the recipe Diana! Brendon and I both love soy sauce so that sounds awesome!

Gina, I'd love the recipes! I'm wanting to try a lot of new dishes and recipes within the next few weeks.

Zucchini is really good cooked on the grill. Just slice it into about 1/2 inch slices and brush a little oil on them (or spray them with Pam) and shake a little Season Salt on them. Turn them occasionally until they're done. You can also broil them in the oven.

I love Salmon in a lemon/pepper marinade. I make it up in the morning, wrap it in reynold's wrap and let it soak all day. We cook it in the foil on the grill.

My Homemade Potato Salad



I don't measure I do everything by eye, its all according to taste .


I boil 5lbs potatoes with skins on until cooked

Once cool I take skins off and cut into cubes into a bowl

I put some white vinegar not to much or it will be tart

salt , pepper to taste

Then I put mayo once again according to how you like it, I don't like to much mayo, not dry either

I cut up a small onion , mix in

shred a carrot and put some in

the trick is a little sugar to sweeten it

some dill weed sprinkle some in

mix all the above well , then top it with more shredded carrots and dill weed to finish it off. Refridgerate to make cold.


It is delicious when I make it or bring it to someones bbq it goes fast.. Enjoy!

Angie Pasta salad will follow I promise lol
