Hump Day Poll
Good day to you all on this last Wednesday of August! We have been in the declutter mindset but many of you know I get overwhelmed by where the heck to start because of our small, less than 1000 sq ft abode. I've gotten help from things like sliding baskets in cabinets, little things that help with space like mug stackers for mugs, and of course little pantries to be able to stock up on stable stuff when sales roll around. Those things help when you've got a home in mind but for me, it's how to mentally push myself to start because it all looks so untacklable. (New word alert.) One of the best pieces of advice I ever got on that front was from my friend who said to tackle one small section at a time. Like, say in your kitchen - do 1/4 of the total countertop area. If you do more than that, all the better but you don't have to do anymore than a 12" space at a time. I've also heard setting a timer for 10 minu...
I love, love, love grilling. It's so much less time consuming than making something on the stove...at least it seems to be, but perhaps that's because I get to be outside.
ReplyDeleteWe make tons on the grill: chicken, steak, corn on the cob, veggies, kabobs, hamburgers, hotdogs... the usual. My FIL makes eggs on the grill sometimes. We make sausage on the grill - brats.
Usually, I'll prep chicken on Sunday and throw it in a Ziploc freezer bag with a marinade and pop it in the fridge so that I can just pull it out and throw it on the grill during the week. Makes my life easier!
Enjoy your new grill.
Love grilling!!! I have one of those cancer inducing flare up grills though....until it bites the dust or kills me first....I'm not getting a new one. :) Haha!
ReplyDeleteThe ex used to grill all the time and I did love it. Pork chops, turkey burgers, hot dogs, nothing too fancy. I think I need to get me one of those little charcoal ones and learn how to myself. Its that time of year and I can smell it and I miss it. Although I will be going camping Memorial day weekend and there will be plenty of hubbies I can borrow to help me out :)
ReplyDeleteMmmmm now I really want to grill!
I LOVE grilled fish. I spent what my husband thought was too much money on a grill wok. Now I can have fish, veggies, even crab cakes and scallops from the grill.
ReplyDeleteI love when Bill grills anything. I ain't touchin it. lol He likes smoked everything and I can't stand the taste of anything smoked. It all tastes like ham, no matter what it is, when it's smoked. Yuck. Bill grills lots of chicken and we have it for dinner, and then have enough to chunk up and throw into a big salad the next day. *slurp* He grills cubed red potatoes with rosemary in one of those disposable aluminum pans and that comes out awesome. Ohhhhh and grilled Portobello mushrooms with garlic, one of my FAVES!
ReplyDeleteMy hubs is a self-proclaimed grill master so we grill it up a lot! He makes some AWESOME baby-back ribs, carne asada, and steaks. Hmmm...sounds like most of what gets grilled is not too healthy fare! LOL
ReplyDeleteI will admit, I usually have to make some modifications, but every once in awhile I will enjoy a good old-fashioned burger from the grill!
I love grilled food, but have never done so myself. Hubby is away on a loooong business trip, but before he left he made his BBQ ribs for me...enough to last until he returned (hopefully). We already have a list on what he's going to be making when he does get back...cold or not. lol
