Easy Grilling With Gas- My gas grill has become as necessary to me as my oven. This hasn't always been the case. There was a time when it was my husband's "job" to grill in the summer. Slowly I started taking over this chore and found I loved using the grill all year round.

Fire up the Grill!- Nothing epitomizes summer cooking more than grilling. However, grilling can be very confusing. The more recipes, cookbooks, and perspectives you encounter, the greater the diversity of opinion that arises. When do you apply the barbeque sauce? Gas or charcoal? Flip the food only once or frequently? High heat or low heat? Dry rubs or marinades? Cover closed or open? It can make ya nuts.

How to Barbecue a Good Steak- Most steak lovers will agree that one of the best way to cook a steak is on the bbq grill. Old (and not so old) pros can turn out a steak that will make your knees weak when you eat it. It is not quite that easy for the rest of us.

Picnic, Barbecue & Cookout Food Safety Tips- It's not always possible to see, taste or smell dangerous bacteria that may cause illness if food is mishandled. Bacteria grow and multiply rapidly in the danger zone between 40° F and 140° F. Keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot. Food transported without an ice source or left out in the sun at a picnic won't stay safe for long. Guests who eat mishandled food may suffer the flu-like symptoms caused by mild food poisoning or worse.

Un-Wimpy Burgers- One day I had a yen for hamburgers so I ventured to my local supermarket. I detest the supermarket pre-made patties. First, their quality is always suspect and second, they're too darn thin. I like forming my own patties from ground chuck with a few secret ingredients, (which we'll get to shortly). Sometimes however, I also mix in some ground sirloin, which was my intention on this particular day.
