To Grill or not to Grill…

This is my first grill ever. Ever, you read that right. Up until now I never lived in an apartment that allowed grills. When my ex and I owned a home we excelled at saying we were going to get a grill…in fact I am pretty sure we took a gold medal in the say you are going to get a grill olympics. But sadly no. Until yesterday when I am now the proud owner of a grill. And it even comes with a pizza stone insert!

So here is my question to you the reader? I was wondering if you had any desire for me to share my mishaps (I have never grilled before in my life) and recipes from some of the stuff I grill or simply stick to baking only on this blog? I will try and bake using the grill as well, but would post savory recipes as well. Please chime in!

    Please! I need new things to do with a grill & summer is no time to be stuck in a hot kitchen (unless you’re canning, of course).

    Ooh I’d love to hear the stories! and I’m sure there’s plenty of sweet meal ideas you could do on the grill if most people are against straying from the baking area.

    I don’t care if you post something that isn’t a sweet or dessert-ish. Its your blog do as you please. It would be fun to see what you come up with from grilling. 🙂

    I think it would be great. Your recipes are great but it’s your stories that we all come back for. So your spin on grilling would be well received, I think. And don’t forgot you live in a place where you can grill all year round.

    Peabody, seriously you need to know, I am a Grill Fool…..Love to burn a piece o’meat, and do it all the time, and know all kinds of tricks and stuff.

    I say post and post and post, and I would love to share what little I know with you. And besides, your other posts always crack me up anyway. You are one of a kind, for sure.

    Tell ya what Peabody, in honor of you buying a grill and heading out into the unknown….

    I would take the time to index every recipe on my blog to add the label BBQ aside from the generic labels I have so you could choose some to try.

    Congrats! Grilling is actually pretty easy, I don’t do it too often but each time I do I am surprised by how well everything turns out!
    The last thing I made was this steak recipe, it was really good!

    Well – your site is Culinary Concoctions not Culinary Confections so I see no reason for you to be limited to sweets and desserts.

    Anything you make is going to be awesome and presented with humor, grace and awesome pics…

    I say enjoy the grill and bring on the savory!! 🙂
