The folks at Williams-Sonoma have a new grilling paste that you may be interested in checking out. Tandoori Grilling Paste comes from the popular Indian cook, Maya Kaimal. The paste […]

Adobo-Citrus Grilled Chicken


So I had The Husband cracking up, hysterically laughing last week … at me. Nice. He was late coming home from work, and I had a bunch of chicken that was ready to go on the grill. I’ve never used any of our grills because The Husband and I have a deal […]

Brand Your Steak


Every year, the Williams-Sonoma catalog comes around and it features a sizzling hot steak branded with personalized initials.

Firing Up the Grill in the Pre-Season


Howdy Boys and Girls. Sorry for the break in posting, but GYGO was experiencing some technical issues but we’re back on track now.
We start out this week with a rare post from our Cate……
This past New Years’ Eve, we wanted to make a feast that included lobster. We were lucky enough that the weather […]

BBQ is More than Just the Grill


When we think of BBQ, our thoughts automatically jump to grills, smokers and the like. But BBQ is much more than that. BBQ Spaghetti? Why not? It might sound a little odd, but hang in there with me.
Todd’s recent post reminded me of a BBQ Spaghetti recipe that we like. […]
