Its Grillin' Time !

One thing I love about it getting warmer outside- being able to grill out! My husband LOVES to grill- so its a no brainer for me: he cooks outside & I don't destroy the kitchen ! And there is nothing better than a good burger or some grilled corn-on-the-cob for that matter :-)

Caesar Burgers-
you'll need : 1 pound ground beef, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (divided) , 2 cloves garlic (minced), 4 Mozzarella cheese slices , 2 cups torn Romaine lettuce, 6 tbsp Caesar dressing (divided), 4 hamburger buns( split).

* Preheat the grill to medium heat. Mix meat , 3 tbsp of the Parmesan cheese, and the garlic. Shape into 4 patties. Grill for 6 min. on each side, or until burgers are cooked throughout (160 degrees F) . Top with cheese slices. Continue grilling for 1 min. or until cheese is melted. Toss lettuce with 2 tbsp dressing and reminder of Parmesan cheese. Spoon evenly onto the bottom bun halves, top with patties and remaining 4 tbsp. dressing. Cover with bun tops.

Grilled corn on the cob-
This recipe has no exact science to it! Just something I came up with to make the corn more interesting !
* Prepare the corn - pulling off husk & silks. Lay corn on a piece of aluminum foil. Spread butter evenly over corn. Then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese , garlic salt, & pepper. Roll corn up in aluminum foil & grill for around 30 minutes or so.

ENJOY !!
