Summertime . . . and the grilling comes easy.
Scrub down the grate, refill the propane tank or stockpile the charcoal - the great outdoor cooking season is upon us.It's simple to toss a steak or burger over the coals and produce a delectable main course. The secret to outdoor cooking wizardry lies in the family-honed barbecue sauce blends or tangy marinades.
Outdoor cooking's become the byword of summer, the regular routine of warm weather, but the basic menus broaden with years of sunshine chef-ing. Some folks venture into seafood grills, while others tackle vegetable side dishes. The hearty put it all together in one-pot Dutch oven creations.
