Now that Daylight Savings Time has arrived, it's time to drag out the grill from winter hibernation. The extra daylight and warmer weather means we can even grill our dinner on weekdays. A barbecued steak or chicken, and some grilled vegetables make a perfect and easy meal. I love grilling season.
Fish, of course, is excellent on the grill, and you can couple it with vegetables. I especially like asparagus on the barbecue. The smoky flavor of the crisp grilled asparagus is hard to beat. I like to drizzle it with olive oil, a little balsamic vinegar, and garlic salt before grilling. When corn comes into season, it's great on the grill and you might even consider red potatoes, which can be par boiled and then finished on the grill for that smoky flavor. Yum.
But just about any vegetable can be grilled, and you can pair it with your meat choice. Toast some garlic bread on the grill, toss a fresh salad and you're done. A nice wine will finish the meal off and your family and friends will love it.

Well, CaliCook, you were reading my mind. When the clock hit 7 and the sun was out, I was hankerin' for some tasty vittles grilled over the open fire like my pappy used to do it out on the range when he was herding cattle. This is it. Thanks again for being the girl of my dreams.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love the spring months in Fresno when it is warm outside, but not 100 degrees? Spring starts Sunday, and we deserve some nice weather for a change.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah Callicook. Grill it up. Did I ever tell you about my grilled romaine/caesar salad? Of course I didn't, we're not really allowed to talk at work ;) real life stikes again. I hope you're better soon!
ReplyDeleteDear Grillface, Yer Pappy wouldn't have a recipe for buffalo stew, would he? I've been lookin fer one.
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous, I'm ready for spring with all the color and warmth. It's great for grilling outdoors. But, you can have 100 degrees weather.
ReplyDeleteNo Cyrhen, you never told me about the grilled Caesar salad. Sounds intriguing. Can't wait to hear about it.
