Time to get out the grill!
The smell of barbecue is back in the neighborhood. And how sweet it is.Do you know anyone who doesn't like a grilled dinner? And most grilled dinners, even the traditional burgers or dogs, can be quite healthy when paired with green salad and fresh fruit. Even the most die-hard heart-attack food lovers can be suckers for grilled veggies. My favorite is yellow squash with olive oil, garlic, sea salt and fresh ground pepper. My almost three-year-old daughter adores corn on the cob fresh from the 'cue. We do all the classics: burgers, dogs, steaks, chicken, various veggies, a mix of stuff on kabobs and more.
This season, I'm looking forward to trying some new things. The Food Network has tons of great spring and summer grilling ideas. Some are really unique. At least to me. What really caught my attention were all the recipes for grilled fruit. If you've never had it, plan it as part of your meal. Tonight. I've done melon and pineapple. But I love the idea of doing nectarines and plums, too. Mmmm.

We don't own a grill and haven't in years (since we had birds turn our last one into a home). I HATE barbecues and most grilled food. If other people are doing the cooking, so many people are still so careless about food safety issues (putting the cooked food back on the plate that held the raw, for example) that I never feel completely safe eating it. And it's not food that I like enough to go to all the trouble of doing it on our own at home. Grilled veggies are yummy, but not so yummy that it's worth all the trouble.
