Grillin' It Up

Ever since we got the BBQ, I've been looking into grill tools to jazz it up. Right now I have my eye on this cast iron griddle - isn't it pretty? As I type, I'm envisioning all the grilled goodness the bf and I could prepare on this...

On The Grill

My bf and I are inheriting my parents sweet gas grill/barbecue, just in time for summer! I can't wait! This weekend in Palm Springs, I had quesadillas cooked on the grill for the first time ever...and let me tell you, it was hands down the best quesadilla I've ever had!

I can't wait to try out new recipes on the grill. First up, quesadillas! Closely followed by pizza on the grill, yum! Now that I'm excited, I need some inspiration. What are your favorite grill recipes?

Not your thing, here's a few others that might be to your liking...
