Time to break out the grill!!

May 8, 2011 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello there,

It is FINALLY getting nice out here!!  It’s about time!!

My BF and his roommate decided to host a last-minute grill-out party!  They provided the grill and everyone brought their own items to throw on it.  There was the usual…hot dogs, burgers, steak (my BF made the BEST steak by the way)

…but there were other things I am not used to grilling such as corn, asparagus, some colorful peppers, potatoes and carrots…deeeeelish!




Carrots: Vitamin A, Fiber, Delish

 

We actually took the colorful peppers and cut them up with some sirloin and made grilled FAJITAS!! 




Pretty peppers!

 

Did you know that the more colorful your meal, the more satisfying it is?




We put a little butter on the bottom of the aluminum foil
then some parsley on top and closed it all up to let it steam in the bag.

 




You can see my fajita and in the background are the potatoes and carrots
as well as the peppers in aluminum foil.  Also, my BF took this pic
with the camera upside down…goof

 

We sprinkled chipolte seasoning on my sirloin and then marinated it in sangria for about 20 minutes in a plastic bag….YUM!  It was super tender and flavorful even without the pretty peppers we put on top!
I hope we have one of these grill-out parties again soon!!
 What should we try grilling next?  Any ideas?
What’s your fav item to grill?
Thanks for stopping by!  Happy grilling everyone!!
