Grilled Asparagus

I love asparagus and am always looking for new ways to cook it.

This past summer I grilled it outside and boy was it delicious!

I can't wait until it's warm again to cook it up that way again.

To make this yourself you will need:

bundle of asparagus

kosher salt

fresh black pepper

evoo

To make:

Take the asparagus and bend it so that it naturally 

breaks off the bottom tough area.

Lay them on a plate and drizzle with evoo, kosher salt, and fresh pepper.

Mix that all together and then place on heated grill.

Cook 3-4 minutes and then open the lid and turn over.

Cook 3-4 more minutes, until crisp and tender.

In and Out Burger

Holy smokes!

Now here is a recipe that you will make again and again and again.

You will serve it at parties and with your dinner guests.

It is for copycat In and Out Burgers complete with special sauce!

Ingredients first for special sauce:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 Tbsp ketchup

1 Tbsp white vinegar

2 tsp sugar

2 tsp sweet pickle relish

2 tsp onion, finely minced

Remaining Ingredients:

hamburger buns

hamburger patties

american sliced cheese

lettuce

tomato, sliced

onion, finely sliced

To make:

Stir sauce ingredients together until well combined.

Make up the hamburger patties and place them on the grill to cook to the degree of your liking. When they are done cooking, here is how to assemble the yummiest burgers.

For the bun, I butter both sides and toast it until butter melts and edges get a little crispy.

Smother some sauce on bottom bun.

Put on tomato slice.

Place lettuce on top on top of tomato.

Place patty on top of lettuce.

Top the patty with onion and a little more sauce.

Place on the bun top and dig in!

Beef & Chicken Kabob Marinade with Grilled Veggies

We love to grill outside & this is a fabulous marinade to use for any meat, I used chicken & beef. 

My trick is to make sure that I let it sit in the fridge to marinate overnight!

I also like to put the veggies on a stick separate because the meat and veggies have different cooking times.

You will need:

• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 cup prepared mustard
• 1 1/2 teaspoons coarsely cracked black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 
  

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, ground black pepper, and garlic.  

Mix well, and add your favorite meat. 
Seal the bag, and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 24 hours.
