Doin' It Well

It's that time again... Time for me to share more recent pics of Adventures in Cooking with Mendi.  I'm no self-proclaimed gourmet chef, but one thing that I can do & that I do well is grilling.  Here's where I launch into LL Cool J's "Doin' it, doin' it, doin't it well."  Sorry, yes, I just went there.

Back to the post about grilling...  It's been an outrageously hot summer here.  We typically grill three to four nights a week, but with our fair share of triple digit temps this summer, the grill hasn't been getting much action.  I honed my grilling skills, if you want to call them that, over the past few years.  My hubz has normally taken on the grillmaster role, but with a giant yard to maintain, he can be found most weeknights on the lawnmower or with a weedeater in hand.  So that leaves dinner planning & preparing to me.  And that's when I discovered my love for the grill.  Did y'all know that entire meals can be made on that thing?!?  Take this random night for example:  I grilled a couple chicken breasts, two ears of corn & some asparagus.  It started in the kitchen, of course, with a little bit of this...

Once I took things outside to the grill, it turned into this...

I don't exactly follow a "recipe" here.  You can see my arsenal of ingredients in the pics above.  I just slap on a little of this & a little of that & call it a day.  Easy peasy.  By the time the hubz wraps up his yardwork, I have dinner on the table.  And it didn't even make a mess of my kitchen.  Gotta love that!

What are your favorite things to whip up on the grill??  What do you call "grilling"?  BBQing??  Cooking out??  Just plain ol grilling??  We'd love to hear!
