Grilling is thrilling
Filed Under Benefit, Celebration, Home food prep, Household Tips
Spring is here and summer is on its way! (At least in most places in the northern hemisphere - but it doesn’t feel like it here in the San Luis Valley today)! When it’s nice outside you can’t help but want to cook outside.
There’s no reason you can’t grill your entire meal, from the appetizers to the entre to dessert. All you need is a grill and a few grilling baskets, woks, and trays. The best part of grilling in the summer is that you don’t have a hot stove or oven going in your kitchen.
We grill steaks and hamburgers, of course, but we also grill arm roasts, and other roasts. Other great grilling meats include chicken (white or dark), fish, lamb chops, pork chops, and even rabbit.
One of my favorite grilled vegetables is grilled asparagus. We pick wild asparagus here on the ranch in May and June, and we often have little skinny spears that would never sell on the commercial market, but are so delicious when they’re grilled.
When our daughter was little, like most small children, she thought she hated asparagus, until she tried it grilled our way (pour a little bit of melted butter and lemon juice over the spears and grill on a slotted tray). She said that the skinny spears that get crispy tasted better than french fries!
A favorite dessert is to melt a little butter with maple syrup then drizzle it over pineapple for grilling on a slotted grilling tray. It’s so sweet but not like a regular, gooey dessert.
There you have it. Fire up that grill and enjoy your own thrill
Grilling baskets and trays to grill everything for dinner

Everyone loves to grill and now that spring is in full swing, and the weather is warming up thoughts turn to barbeque meals.
You can grill your entire meal both meat and vegetables using grilling baskets and trays that you can find in most hardware stores, discount stores, or higher end catalogues like Chef’s.
It’s an easy matter to slice up some peppers, zucchini, or other squash, drizzle with a little olive oil and the seasoning of your choice, place in a grilling basket and cook them in no time on the grill. You can grill the vegetable before the meat if you don’t have a warming area on your grill, then place them in the oven at low temperature while the meat is grilling.
When you grill your whole meal, there’s no stove top clean up, and you get to spend even more time outside.

The largest beef recall in US history!

The cruel treatment of those poor old dairy cows makes me sick and makes me cry!
We just saw the biggest recall of beef ever in the United states and it’s enough to make anyone sick to their stomach. I watched the You-Tube video of the plant workers pushing those old dairy cows with a fork lift, pulling them with chains, and prodding them merciliessly, and I couldn’t help but cry.
This is the result of Americans’ demand for cheap food!
Legally, the packing plant is not supposed to place downer cattle into the food supply, and the USDA inspection should have made certain that it didn’t happen. But at such a massive, industrial scale these kinds of practices happen all the time. They just happened to get caught.
If you want to be sure your food supply is safe, buy from local-regional producers and independent family farms and ranches.
Our industrial food supply is killing us!!!!!
