The other day I had gone to my dad's to watch Judge Judy
with him and a commercial came on, advertising a new type of grill. It was a Bic Flame Disk A really neat product
that you place in a grill, hold a flame to one of the open holes, and in no
time it will catch on fire and last for 30 to 45 minutes, cooking your meat
with little or no mess. As I watched
this I thought of all kinds of uses for this product. It would be perfect to take to a picnic, to
the beach, anywhere you want to cook food outside, and not have the mess of
lugging around charcoal and lighter fluid, wait for it to heat up enough to
cook, and then have to clean it up.

July is National Grilling Month. Every weekend you can go outside in my
neighborhood and smell the wonderful aroma of delicious meat cooking. I don't know what it is about the flavor that
just makes everything taste better when its cooked outside. Grilling is not just
for meats anymore. These days you can
cook just about anything on a grill, from fruits and vegetables to pizza, to
desserts. Since we have already given you safety tips on grilling, I would like
to share with you some delicious recipes.
Here is a site I found that has recipes for nearly anything you can
think of: http://www.grilling.com/recipes/?gclid=CL3ojbrOmbECFcua7QodDg6IiA

I am including a really simple recipe for my cousin's
grilled chicken shish kabobs. All you
need is a bottle of Italian dressing, some vegetables, and metal skewers and a
grill.

Cut up the chicken in bite size pieces, then soak them
along with the vegetables in the dressing for a few hours. Alternate the chicken with the vegetable; you
can use squash, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, whatever you
like. Then grill for 15 to 20 minutes
until done. A picture of the finished product is shown here.

So this month, when it’s just too hot to heat up the oven
in the house, step outside to your grill and try some new and tasty meals.
