"Summer Southern Sizzle" Grilling with Style............

 Our quest for fire started back in the cave days...but today we've learned how to harness those flames in so many ways....One is our love affair with "Grilling".......When warm weather starts, a lot of us can't wait to dust off our grill....fire it up...... fill our home and garden with family and friends and grill up some "Summer Southern Sizzle"........

The Cook.......

 As summer heats up, there is nothing like having a great summer barbeque.....and what makes it great for me is I can depend on my brother to do all the grilling....he is "The Cook"......While my brother is conjuring up some fabulous "Summer Southern Sizzle".......I'm busy making sure everything else is done with "Grilling Style" in mind......Like a cool and refreshing mixed drink.....Summer time and lots of color make the perfect mix for a backyard barbeque........I break out my colorful glasses and dishes with picnic style in mind.....and I love using colorful table cloths and fresh cut flowers to accent my fun in the sun atmosphere...Play up the setting with creative ways to ice down some drinks.....I love using garden pots filled with ice to give all my drinks a big chill........using one for bottled water, one for soft drinks and a different one for beer or wine can make  interesting table decor ......get creative,  set pots at different levels by placing one pot upside down and placing the other on top......it really is barbeque chic...I have a cool insulated cooler that looks like the old coke box use to look and rolls around on wheels .......I use it a lot and it always adds an eclectic feel to my sizzling summer cook outs.......

 Make your outside cookout sizzle with color, like these  mouthwatering, colorful, vegetable kabobs....... definitely one of my favorites, not only delicious but so easy to serve.....
 Add fresh cut flowers from your garden in happy little vases set about and "boom"......summertime feels so refreshing.........Grilling out is as American as apple pie...."Grilling with Style"adds that special summer punch to anyones summer cookout........Sooooooo.....Get up......Get out.......Fire up the grill......and start a fun and festive summer cookout with your own personal style for some great "Southern Summer Sizzle"...............
