Breakin' Out the Grill

March 29, 2010 by Julie 18 Comments

Good news! The rain has finally decided to let up and the lovely spring sun is shining in Orlando again.

Good weather = Grilling!

Meat Man

For the first time in 2010, we fired up the grill to make tonight’s dinner… and by “we” I mean Ryan. The grill intimidates me. 😉

Do you grill or leave the grilling duties up to someone else?

While Ryan tended to the grill, I prepped our sides and roasted fresh zucchini and cauliflower in the oven at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, flippin’ the veggies halfway through.

Within 25 minutes we had a tasty dinner of BBQ grilled chicken breasts with roasted veggies. It felt like a summer meal!

BBQ Chicken + Roasted Veggies

My Plate

Dessert

Guess what little treat I picked up at the grocery store yesterday?

Cadbury Eggs

Hooray for Cadbury mini eggs!

Great dessert… Just great. 😀

    The grill totally intimidates me. I wish it didn’t, because that’s such a stereotype! But…I guess that stereotype has to come from somewhere, lol.

    I can’t wait to use the grill! I’ll be in charge of it if I have to, but I like to leave a guy in charge.

    I am jealous of your warm weather and grilling! We’re not quite there yet (still too cold) but I am looking forward to it. I always leave the grilling up to somebody else — I am a little scared of the grill!

    Peter always mans the grill. I stay in the kitchen! 😀 Mini eggs! That reminded me I have not had a single piece of Easter candy this year. Madness!

    I do not grill! That’s the hubby’s domain. I’m the queen of the kitchen, but I don’t touch the grill.

    I’m definitely NOT a griller…I leave that responsibility to my dad or BF! Creme eggs are my favorite Easter candy 🙂

    Oh my, I stay away from the grill. If I had one, it would be all Stephen! I do think it would be fun to make kabobs on though.

    I’ve never had those mini eggs. My faves are the creme eggs…YUM

    I love grilling. My hubby is originally from SA and calls it ‘braaing’. We always have very enjoyable braais with a bunch of friends. Oh, can’t wait for warm weather to come. Mark is always in charge of the meat. He loves the whole marinating and basting process so much that I am happy to prepare salads, grab a bottle of beer and watch him. ;-))
