Chili Lime Chicken
The Plethora of Peppers

Grilled Pineapple with Rum Sauce & Vanilla Ice Cream
This Grilled Pineapple with Rum Sauce & Vanilla Ice Cream is a great summer dessert. Grilling fruit is perfect so easy to prepare. By grilling it, the water and sugar in the fruit concentrate the flavors by reducing the water and caramelizing the natural sugars. Fruits like apples, pears, and pineapples, which are hard, are the easiest to grill since they hold their shape and texture while cooking. Softer fruits like peaches, nectarines, plums and mangoes will become soft and mushy if overcooked.

Chicken Under Bricks with Sassy BBQ Sauce
Weber grills published many books on grilling. I have three of them. This recipe is from Weber's Real Grilling. My husband, Eric, made this flattened chicken. Unfortunately, I did not take a picture of the foil wrapped bricks on the chicken. Also, the Sassy BBQ Sauce is tangy and delicious.

Bourbon Marinated Flank Steak
Flank steak is one of our favorite meats to grill. This one is marinated in bourbon. It was a huge success and we will be adding this to our repertoire. The other wonderful marinade is my brother-in-law, Russell's Flank Steak, which is also a big crowd pleaser.

Grilled Margarita Shrimp
I just bought some new grill plates and tested them out with Margarita Shrimp. The nice thing is that you don't have to marinate shrimp all day or overnight. It only takes a couple of hours and you're go to go. While the shrimp marinates, you can be busy drinking margaritas. One of our family favorites is Eric's Avocado Margarita. Yes, I know it sounds weird, but once you've had one there is no turning back!
