Grillin' Girl

Grilling is one of my favorite methods of cooking. You need limited added oil, if any. You get great flavor and those beautiful GRILL MARKS! Usually I think of the grill for chicken and burgers but am starting to understand how much fun you can have with it. Guaranteed, I'll be using the grill year around, snow and all! It's totally worth it!
Below is a more traditional grill entree-Kabobs. Then a more adventurous option, Grilled Pizza-SO GOOD!

CHICKEN KABOBS WITH LIME RICE

The added lime, chicken stock and green onions to the rice made so much difference. Kabobs are an easy way to get picky vegetable eaters on board. ____________________________________________________________________

GRILLED PIZZA w/ HOT SAUSAGE, GRILLED PEPPERS & ONIONS, OREGANO RICOTTA drizzled w/ SWEET BASIL VINAIGRETTE

Everything for this pizza was grilled, including the CRUST! We used turkey sausage for this recipe. We made a wheat dough, rolled it out, barely brushed it with olive oil and then threw it on the grill. Once both sides are done you top w/ pre-grilled meats and veggies & place it back on the grill and cover it til the cheese melts. We did end up finishing ours in the oven inside because the grill was being temperamental. The ricotta was spooned on after baking and then the pizza was drizzled with a sweet basil vinaigrette. The basil topping was really interesting, it had a good amount of honey in it which juxtaposed the spicy peppers beautifully! This pizza could be made with any ingredients but this sausage and pepper was pretty tasty. Grilled pizza is a great idea for a dinner party/cookout. Everything including the crusts can be done in advance and then just warmed up after the guests get to select their personal toppings. Who knew Grilled Pizza would be so tasty?!
