I’ve always loved cooking a meal on the grill. Growing up in Oklahoma, I grilled so many delicious dinners with my Dad.
A few years after moving to California, I finally had a porch that I could grill on. Weeks later my Mom sent me a new grill as a Valentine’s Day gift. Yes, that’s a real story. And being the true hero that she is, she sent it two weeks early so I’d have it in time for Super Bowl!
Now the great thing about grilling in Southern California is that it’s a year-round activity. And for some of you, no matter where you are, it might also be! Lucky for us, we have the perfect weather to grill outside all of the time. And I take full advantage of it!
