Throwing Away the Crutches
Hello all. This is a vulnerable one. In case you're wondering about the title, it's not referencing my newly pulled back that occurred while dumping out a bag of mulch Sunday night. Not lifting it... dumping it. It's been a week full of back braces and squishy ice packs . Yay. Saturday I forced a weigh in, at least for myself. We basically haven't weighed in since January. From that point on it was dealing with holiday weight gain and all of our projects (bathroom reno, finishing that reno, carpet installation on the stairs, work instability (still going on) then the never-ending saga with the water coming in on the subfloor/roof hole, etc) so our lives were just fitting in walks where we could when it was cooler. We actually did that quite a bit until the weather got unbearable. When I had to go in for my vulvoscopy June 3rd, I accidentally caught a glimpse at my weight and it leveled me. I was 10 lbs higher than when we came bac...
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
