I won't lie. Ever since our insurance company offered to replace our old grill, along with our roof, as part of hail damage claim, I was giddy! I mean, I loved our old grill but it was just that – old.  It was a wedding gift from my awesome dad and probably the most-used wedding gift we received.  So much so that a while back Nathan begged for the grilling to stop!  We would grill out almost every night back then. And, i'm here to say that we've reached that point yet again.  Almost.

Our new grill is getting a lot of use, especially this week.  On the menu this week is tons o'grilling (with the exception of a couple of days only so that I can use up items in my pantry).

(The new grill, thanks to homeowner's insurance.  Not as shiny as a couple of weeks ago, but it's gotten plenty of use!)

Sunday:  Baked rotini, salad, garlic bread

Monday:  BBQ chicken, Sunbelt salad (I'll have to tell ya'll all about this one soon!), baked beans

Tuesday:  Eat out….likely some place with Kids Eat Free, since we are headed to a T-Bones baseball game that evening.

Wednesday:  Grilled steaks, corn on the cob, rolls (buttery rolls….with REAL butter)

Thursday:  Grilled pork chops, rice, Sunbelt salad (yes, we love it THAT much!)

Friday: I rarely cook on Fridays!  Am I the only one?

Saturday: Brats, hot dogs, chips, fruit

See, told ya.  Tons o' grilling.  I am hoping the kids don't get too burned out on it.  (No pun intended)  So what about you?  Do you use your grill tons more in the summer or year 'round?
