He usually always grills when he is home and I usually make the rest of the meal inside. Sometimes I will season the meat, or marinade it, or make the sauce, but he always grills. That would be a novelty for him!! LOLOL The only problem with that is if I am too good he will decide I can do it all, and we can't have that!!

I've grilled before, but it's more fun to let him do it.<br /><br />Mitchell is allergic to chicken. Yes, you read that right. I love chicken, so I'll cook some for me and make pasta as a side dish. He loves pasta, so everyone is happy.<br /><br />http://joycelansky.blogspot.comCatch My Wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338761214938263819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303475796807404950.post-14235061160145543912012-07-01T12:09:06.271-04:002012-07-01T12:09:06.271-04:00JoJo, I have always been a little afraid to monkey...JoJo, I have always been a little afraid to monkey with it too before.

He's told me how to operate it (it's gas) but I am still to scared to try. Using the NuWave oven is just so much easier.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303475796807404950.post-30522128445377090272012-07-01T09:59:29.016-04:002012-07-01T09:59:29.016-04:00My husband rarely has ever grilled The few barbecu...My husband rarely has ever grilled The few barbecue picnics we've had have been a disaster; he would serve either burnt chicken or raw. So I would barbecue, and for some summers, before we got air conditioning I bbarbecued every night. Then the barbecue broke because we neglected to take care of it. But it was great; I would just wrap everything in aluminum foil and no dishes! You know about steaming veggies in alluminum foil right? Works great.Sandra Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13191775335774130719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303475796807404950.post-14966229783567993672012-07-01T04:26:05.216-04:002012-07-01T04:26:05.216-04:00Love your blog so I thought I would share an award...Love your blog so I thought I would share an award with you: http://www.lifecherries.com/2012/07/more-awards.htmlAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693170090426983457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303475796807404950.post-16727030883728757642012-07-01T02:11:48.316-04:002012-07-01T02:11:48.316-04:00I grill.

Funny thing, I do the marinading, and all the prep. He grills..It is funny. I have ribs rubbed in the fridge for tomorrow night, and will make the sauce. I am glad you are grilling too. Funny thing..My hubby is allergic to tomatoes. I LOVE all things with tomato.. I now plan meals like homemade sauce when I know he will not be home...Much better than not having it at all....Winniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15926597921523807422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303475796807404950.post-87311851365976025712012-07-01T00:18:46.319-04:002012-07-01T00:18:46.319-04:00" It took me 44 years to accept the fact that..." It took me 44 years to accept the fact that I didn’t need a twig and giggle berries hanging between my legs to operate a barbecue grill!!"<br />Cracking up here! That is a classic line, if ever I heard one.<br />I am so glad you have mastered the grill, I love grilling, too. I let my roomy grill when we have parties because I have too much else to do, but otherwise it's my domain!<br />♥Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285427147723972295noreply@blogger.com
