Powered by Mom Blog & Family Love to Barbeque how about you?
Yes it’s true we love to BBQ as much as we can as food always tastes so good coming off the barbeque. I even had my husband build a cover over our barbeque so that I could go from our kitchen to our back deck and be under cover and you guessed it barbeque food even when it’s raining. It rains a lot here so trust me it’s well worth it to have a barbeque shelter.
With Summer fast approaching more people are getting into the grilling again and putting those burgers, steaks, potatoes and veggies on the bbq. When we make burgers on our grill I even cook the bacon on the bbq. Yep I sure do and it tastes so good it has that grilled flavor it smells amazing, so good that when I’m making it my daughter always comes out to the deck to say yum that smells good when is it going to be ready LOL.
How I do it is I put the bacon on a double folded sheet of aluminum foil or you can use an old cookie sheet whatever your preference. I turn one side of the bbq down to a low-medium heat and grill my bacon. It always comes out nicely, tastes and smells good. Except maybe that one time when I got distracted and it got burnt but hey I think we’ve all burnt bacon no matter how we cooked at one time or another.
Our barbeque is of course well used, in fact we have two as we’ve used them so much over the years but it will soon be time to replace our main bbq as one is just small tabletop barbeque. Naturally we’d love to get a nice big, fancy one and it has to be natural gas too as we’re already set up for that so no having to refill propane tanks all of the time. I have my eye on a few of them but we’ll have to save up, maybe next year. As long as we have one to use to make some yummy food and hey it’s even usually healthier on the barbeque so we can’t go wrong!
What are some of your favourite foods to cook on a barbeque? Feel free to comment below we’d love to hear from you!

Sandy Cain says
June 29, 2013 at 5:45 AMWhen my husband was alive, we always went to the State Park and BBQ’d hot dogs and burgers. I would have preferred ribs or chicken, but he didn’t eat either. Now I don’t get a chance to BBQ anywhere, but I sure love reading about other people. I live vicariously through them!
Leila says
June 27, 2013 at 9:43 PMTo me, there is nothing better than a perfectly grilled steak. Yum!

Danielle Porter says
June 22, 2013 at 7:50 PMnever thought about grilling bacon! We normally do shish ka bobs during the summer. Grilled fruit is really good too! Grilled pears, peaches, or pineapple!
jill carroll says

Katrina Villeneuve says
June 18, 2013 at 7:18 PMI love chicken and corn on the cob on the grill, but my dad usually does all that, I could probably make some hot dogs on the grill, lol!!
John Heim says
June 17, 2013 at 9:19 PMI’ve had bacon wrapped around different things, but not by itself. That does seem like it would be really good!
Cindy Heldmann says

Karen Beckett says
June 10, 2013 at 3:34 PMWe love to grill also. Some of our favorites are burgers, ribs and chicken. But we also like Kabobs, shrimp, veggies, and you can even do pizza on the grill! Grill some garlic bread, or try some grilled fruit. The possibilities are endless. Most of our meals during the summer & fall are grilled outdoors.
Rachel Beltz says
June 10, 2013 at 12:17 PMOh my gosh stop! This is making me so hungry lol. I have to say, investing in a BBQ shelter is such a smart idea… we may have to invest soon! For a favorite BBQ item, I would have to say chicken on skewers with veggies!
Sue Hull says
June 9, 2013 at 9:17 PMI really love eating everything off the bbq,I’m not picky.Lol! I don’t like my meat marinated,just plain(garlic) is just fine with me. I’m hoping my brother-in-law will be bbqing a lot this summer.He’s a really good cook. I live in an apt and can’t have a bbq so I have my george forman grill. I know it’s not even close but it works. That food on that bbq looks so good. 🙂

Madeleine Dawes says
June 7, 2013 at 8:26 PMI love onions cooked on the grill. I hate raw onions, but there is something wonderful that happens inside that foil on the grill that makes them amazing. I also love ribs and pork chops, burgers and steaks, and shish kabobs with veggies.
Dawn Sterner says
June 7, 2013 at 7:58 PMWe love to BBQ, especially in the summer we do it a few times a week! Our favorite things to BBQ are steak, burgers, hot dogs, chicken, pork chops, & sausage! I’ve never made bacon on the grill but I am definitely gonna try it this year!

angelia medlin says
June 7, 2013 at 7:35 AMGrilling on the outdoor grill and making awesome bbq is what we do. We bbq throughout the year, even in the snow. There is nothing better than eating some bbq ribs, pork steaks and hamburgers. Just thinking about it is making me hungry!
Nelly B says
June 6, 2013 at 9:23 PMYummmm! I love love love to BBQ but my hubby doesn’t! I know right!!!? I am always asking him why not! It can be super healthy if you do it right and it’s so easy! But he hates he clean up 🙁

Pamela Halligan says
June 6, 2013 at 1:29 PMMy family loves to BBQ, too. Chicken and salmon are our favorite main dishes. Grilled corn-on-the-cob really is the best, and baked potatoes on the grill are hard to beat. Watermelon is served for dessert, and everyone’s happy.
Stacey Roberson says
June 6, 2013 at 1:18 PMOne of my favorite foods to throw on the grill is pineapple. So yummy!
Valarie Lee Gentry says
June 6, 2013 at 10:33 AMI love cooking out during the summer! Barbequing is a great way to get friends and family together! I don’t usually do the cooking because I’m afraid I’ll under cook it, but my brother is a pro at it! I love BBQ Chicken! So does my daughter!
Joanne frank says

Jennifer frank-lopez says
June 6, 2013 at 12:02 AMI love grilling corn.. I pull down the husks and put a butter rub on it with Mexican spices then pull the husks back up and wrap it in foil. Then when its done let it cool for a bit.. unwrap the foil pull off the husks and enjoy!! Oh it tastes AMAZING!!

Danielle says
June 5, 2013 at 7:55 PMWe LOVE to grill outside!! We don’t have a BBQ grill, we have a fire pit! My husband is a chef (lucky me) and he loves to cook! We even grill in the winter occasionally. My kids like to roast hot dogs and marshmallows for smores. Well my older 2 are 17 and 16 so they are usually to busy to hang out at home with the boring old family, but my youngest she is 5 and LOVES when she and daddy go into the woods and find the perfect stick for her to cook her masterpieces on!! I’m so glad the warmer weather is setting in, summer vacation starts for my youngest tomorrow, the 11th for my 16 year old and my oldest just graduated high school last Tuesday (had to throw that in because I am soooooooo proud of her).
poweredbymom says
June 5, 2013 at 8:16 PMcongrats to your oldest daughter Danielle! ahh yes smores yum 🙂
Kim Mellick says
June 5, 2013 at 4:18 PMEvery summer my fiancé gets excited because its bbq time. I love it as well because it means a nice fatty steak and asparagus again. We cook our asparagus wrapped in tin foil with some butter a bit of fresh crushed garlic and parmesan cheese…sooo yummy
Mrs TAMMY LYNNE BIGGS says
June 5, 2013 at 10:58 AMI LOVE grilling out doors. Trying new things becomes very interesting when grilling. Like pineapples and watermelons on the grill. We have 3 old grills and one smoker that we use A LOT! I even make fruit cobblers on them. I try to cook my whole meal on the grill. Now I am hungry again1LOL
Cheryl Fisher says
June 5, 2013 at 10:24 AMI enjoyed reading about your many grills and barbecue ideas. It looks so good. I enjoy vegetables also on the grill with chicken breast meat.
tami s says
June 5, 2013 at 4:48 AMI love sliced potatoes with onion and red peppers. I make an aluminum foil pack to cook them on the grill
Lalena says
June 4, 2013 at 11:36 PMLiving in San Diego, BBQing is easy to do year round, but some of the things you mentioned are really neat! We must try it in the next couple months!
Grace F. says
June 4, 2013 at 2:29 PMI love grilling chicken/pepper shish kabobs on the grill. We currently do not have a grill, but I want one just so I can make these. My husband would be content to eat burgers every night for dinner, so having a grill would most likely be a good investment. I love eating chicken breasts, and I’m sure on the grill they taste much better.
Chelesa sims says
June 4, 2013 at 11:10 AMMy husband is an amusing cook but me i can’t BBQ. I thank my mother in law for teaching him how to cook. He BBQ hamburgers,steaks,hot dogs
lisa says
June 4, 2013 at 10:27 AMI love pretty much everything grilled. Potato and corn. Mostly beef tenderloin.
Pameula Henson says
June 4, 2013 at 8:19 AMI also love just about anything on the grill. My husband is leary of bbqing too much.. I would cook on the grill daily though. My favorite lately has been country style pork ribs.
cylina williams says
June 4, 2013 at 7:53 AMI love anything on the grill, easy and cool on a hot day!
Dorothy Boucher says

Michelle Proper says
June 4, 2013 at 6:39 AMWe love to BBQ in the Summer months which are so short here in western NY. Love to marinade different meats and try new seafood rubs the best! There’s nothing like the rewards of BBQing around here! Yummy!
Janine Horn says

Jesselyn A/Jesstinger says
June 3, 2013 at 7:23 PMWell before I get started on what we like to “Q” – let me start by with two observations/ comments:
First, if you folks are cooking bacon OUT on the grill – it’s amazing that the whole neighborhood (human and animal alike!) aren’t flocking to your backyard with their mouths drooling! AND about that outdoor “roof” over your BBQ – can I either import your husband or at least his “floor” (roof? ceiling plans?) – so maybe I can my (very handy when he wants to be) Honey/Hubby to build one like that for us!
We are very big on outdoor BBQiing/ grilling AND my Hubby DID build a fabulous SMOKER too! While we’ve always cooked the usual, burgers, chicken, sausages, steaks and chops – but in recent years we’ve been branching out and cooking a lot more fish and seafood, wild game, whole roasts and LOTS of veggies and kebabs. And we’re experimenting with fruits too: pineapple, peaches, papaya, mange and bananas so far.
We’ve tried pizza a few times but there are so many other temptations it’s not on out A List. Since it Tis the Season and so many of us love to grill – I hope you will continue to treat us by sharing your BBQ experiences, recipe ideas – and even funny stories. Thanks Michelle!
poweredbymom says
June 3, 2013 at 10:43 PMWEll thank you Jesselyn and now you gave me an idea about grilling peaches hmmm how about peaches with brown sugar and a wee bit of butter wrapped in foil over the bbq. You made me laugh about the bacon and the neighborhood lol 🙂 thanks for sharing and yes I will be bringing more recipes soon for sure 🙂
Jesselyn A/Jesstinger says
June 11, 2013 at 5:30 PMHey Michelle,
Have you tried the peaches with brown sugar and butter yet? That is one of my all-time favorite combo of flavors – I think I like even better than it’s cousin made with bananas (plus a splash of rum and a squeeze of lime – though I admit that one works a little better in the sauteed pan – or “flambeed” with the rum and the whole thing topped with Vanilla Ice Cream… But I digress…
Re: The Bacon – it seems like everyone I know including “Heart-Healthy /Virtual Vegetarians” and “Keepers of Kosher” seem to have a sixth sense when if comes to the scent of bacon cooking and even those who are able to exercise restraint acknowledge that it does smell kind of irresistible.
poweredbymom says
June 11, 2013 at 8:26 PMHey Jesslyn no I haven’t but dang that sounds good love peaches 🙂
Julie Wood says
June 3, 2013 at 5:58 PMBarbecued food is the best and I could eat it every night! My favorite foods to barbeque are pork ribs and chicken. We also love to barbecue corn and pineapple. I like tons of sauce on my food, also I can not leave out hamburgers. Grilled hamburgers are the best!
caitlyn Terlesky says
June 3, 2013 at 4:10 PMWe BBQ everything because we don’t have ac and don’t want to heat out house up. Makes everything tasty!

Lisa K says
May 30, 2013 at 7:59 AMSome of my favorite foods on the grill, my Husband makes really awesome steaks and shrimp skewers on the grill. He also makes this thing he calls ‘the bomb’. He makes a foil pouch and he puts sliced onions, garlic, a variety of bell peppers, zucchini and squash slices and a stick of butter then he seals it and grills it and you put it on top of either steak or brats and it is so awesome!!!
Happy Grilling 🙂

jo n says
May 25, 2013 at 4:00 AMIn the winter I miss the flavour of fresh roasted red peppers. I put them on a jelly roll pan and put them under the broiler with a touch of olive oil (makes the skin bubble nicely for peeling) to scorch. I then put them in a closed paper bag to cool The skins just come right off. I cut the pepper into large slices and put some cheese (usually havarti) and roll them up with a toothpick to hold. Bake just to melt the cheese. Yuuummmmm
Pamela Warren says

Robin Wilson says
May 21, 2013 at 7:12 PMWhen’s dinner? OMG now I am starving! You are right, everything tastes better off the grill. We need a new one too, but they can be expensive. So my hubby is going to take the 2 we have and make sure we have 1 good one for this summer!
