It’s Grilling Time!

Posted in Family, Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

Project 365 – #148 Here in Arizona, we can grill pretty much year around, but the summer heat seems to beckons us to grill as it keeps the stove/oven from heating up the house.  I love tossing veggies on the grill either with some chicken (or other meat) or by themselves.  It’s fun to think of the grill as our outdoor kitchen and try to expand the possibilities of what goes on the grill.
