Grilling!!

If I wasn't hungry before. I am really Hungry now. I still have not tried this meal

Steph that burger looks good too.

OMG the burger is so delicious. I'm not really even a burger fan! But you must grind your own meat so that it doesn't get smooshed. That's the key.

Great thread Nanci! I must get one or both of those grills!

Heather, the Cuisinart inside is just _so_ convenient. It's small enough to leave sitting on the stove top, or it fits in the drawer if I am feeding snakes and need the room. Yes, I feed snakes on the stove. I've cooked a bunch of stuff on it- I use it almost daily. Love it.

But I like sitting outside and grilling, too, and sometimes would like to do veggies _and_ meat, or big meat like the tenderloins. It's infrared, whatever that means...When I read the reviews, people said it was hard to put together. It was not. It had the clearest directions to assemble something that I had ever seen. It took about an hour, with me watching a TV show at the same time. And I also read that people thought it took a long time to heat up, or didn't get hot enough. It takes 15 minutes to get to 550F. And I have it on a pretty long extension cord- maybe 15 feet or so. (It has to reach a GFI outlet).

I had to re-read that sentence...I initially pictured you grilling pinkies for the snakes....ugh, I *need* a glass of wine...

P.S. don't forget your healthy fats...if you read Primal Blueprint (MarksDailyApple.com) they actually have a higher (healthy) fat intake than Robb Wolf's Paleo plan.
The thing is, if you increase your (healthy) fat intake, your body becomes more accustomed to burning fat for fuel & you end up burning of existing fat in the process.
For before workouts, I have protein & fat (scrambled eggs & avocado) & after workout is protein & "carbs" (usually chicken & veggies).
That would help put my body in "burning fat mode" & I burned off more of "my" fat that way.
It's also good to just start your day with protein & fat, for similar reason, your body starts burning fat as fuel.

omlard...I'm going to to death!

Oh my goooooosh that looks amazing. ;____; I've been really getting into cooking recently and I just made ribs on Valentines day. Unfortunately I did not have time to make my own sauce BUT IT WAS GOOD! Your stuff looks better though. XD
