Will you be grilling today? Do you grill often? Seasonally?

What do you grill?

We usually do burgers for Memorial Day, but the older kids are with their dad and won't be home til 6, so I probably just won't make anything. :giggle
 
Lucky you :)

We love to grill but don't do it often enough! Vegetarians all the way so it's mostly cottage cheese, onions, potatoes , bell peppers .... All the healthy boring stuff :)
 
We will be grilling today. We usually grill often in the summer. I like that because it gets me out of the kitchen to be able to enjoy the outside more.
 
My 16 year old son does most of the cooking (and grilling), so I'm going to buy him this:

we grilled last night. we usually end up doing it once a week - burgers, dogs, sausage, chicken, steaks, corn on the cob, etc. etc.
 
We grill year round pretty much, our back patio has a cover over it so I kick the hubs out there even in rain and snow, because he stays dry, if not warm :) In fact, I was afraid to light the BBQ so he has taken it over entirely for years now and he's pretty good at it. I was going to buy him a new BBQ for Father's Day, but I didn't want to get the wrong thing, so he researched it and bought it himself this weekend (great wife, huh??) and last night was the first cookout on it! It turned out super yummy and it was also the first time we've enjoyed our newly paved patio, all dry and cozy under cover :D
 
We BBQ all year round. We have a covered deck at home and the BBQ is just a few paces from the kitchen door so even if its cold out, I will watch the food out the glass door and then run out quickly to tend to it. We have a BBQ on the deck at our trailer so we BBQ all summer while we're out there too. I usually do meat and veggies on the grill. Faves are homemade burgers with onion, spices & cheese along with chopped veggies tossed in EVOO, balsalmic vinegar and honey with spices.
 
You are totally blowing my mind with grilled cottage cheese, but I bet it's delicious! :giggle

We don't grill often. Hardly ever during the off-season and maybe a few times a month during the summer. When SS is here, DH lets him do it, and he's terrible at it, so I'd rather cook my own food. DH did grill today and once I asked him to cook mine for 10 minutes less than this, e.g. not burned, it turned out pretty delicious.

I do all the cooking except for the grilling, so even though I know I would be better at it than DH and SS, I refuse to do it out of principle. Trying to coordinate a meal around them finally agreeing to grill, moseying over to heat up the grill, and moseying into the kitchen and making a mess with spices everywhere is more work than I want to deal with most of the time. :giggle
 
Normally we would grill today and have some friends over, but it's cold, raining and windy, so we're all holed up inside being lazy today. I'm probably going to reheat leftovers for dinner.
 
I grill whenever I can.....I have burgers and dogs to cook tonight, but I am just not in the mood to grill, but my kids do need to eat so I probably will LOL!
 
We BBQ all year round too ... we love to do a nice Char Grill Rump steak or fish .... mmmm I'm hungry now!
 
We used to grill out all the time, but the last few years, hubby's job has made it so most meals are just me and the girls and since they barely eat meat grilling is a waste of time, lol. We did grill today, burgers and hot dogs.
 
Love grilling. Well...I don't personally grill that much - I make hubbs do it, but we do steaks, chicken, burgers and dogs, pork chops, etc...We are mainly summer grillers because the weather doesn't permit for much "winter" grilling, so we enjoy it while we can!
 
No grilling here, but I was tempted to go stand out on the curb in front of the neighbors house. It smelled GOOD over there!
 
it's seasonal, it gets too cold to grill here in the midwest.
 
OMG Angie!! that is awesome!!

Hubby grills all the time....snow, rain, hot, cold.....so, yep...we grilled out!!

He uses the charcoal grill when the weather is nicer...the gas when it's raining and super cold b/c it's faster!!!! When we get snow, the first thing he does is shovel off the patio so he can get to the grills!!!!

We grill year round. My dh just bought himself a brand new much more expensive one than we've had in the past, so we'll be using it a lot.

We do meat, fish and grilled veggies are a fave!
