Living in a warmer climate has it's benefits! While I lament not being able to see the beautiful autumn colors outside where we live, we are taking advantage of the wonderfully warm days by grilling outside! Imagine that, grilling in the middle of November!
I bought a Kingsford BBQ Bag-a one time use bag you throw on the grill and light on fire, bag and all! We rarely cook on the grill, so this was perfect for us. The last bag of charcoal we had sitting around for months, the puppy ate! (No negative side effects, thankfully!)

After an hour of waiting for the flames to be gone (they had died down some), I gave up and threw on the burgers. Now, I don't claim to be an expert at grilling, but in only a few minutes time I went to check on the burgers, and they were burnt to a crisp on one side! I raced to flip the blackened burgers and only let them cook for a few minutes more, and then removed them, only half cooked on the inside. Needless to say, we picked through our burgers at dinner, trying to salvage what edible meat was left. It's a good thing there was macaroni and cheese on the menu as well, because this dinner was a flop!
Anyone have some tips to give me on grilling? I'd be most appreciative! The Munchkins love grilled hamburgers, but that's one thing Mama hasn't mastered yet!

My hubby loves to BBQ all the time. I unfortunatly have no clue how to bbq though. I have an award for you at Reality Check

Oh, I miss the warm climate. Yes, seeing leaves change is nice...but then the fall off the tree and you have to rake!! We won't be grilling until April!

Oh, I do know about the leaves...you're right, Mommy To Three, that can be a massive job..and the amount of leaves increases each year as the trees grow bigger!!! Thanks for stopping by!
Faiths13, Thanks for your comment! My hubby isn't much of an expert at the grill either, but he's better than I! Guess we'll just have to wait for someone to invite us over for a BBQ to enjoy the good stuff! LOL!
