Let's walk the plank

As you all are WELL aware of, we now have an adult, grown up, real life grill. No easy bake oven here anymore folks. We have a big daddy grill. That being said, do not expect a lot of indoor, stove and oven recipes from me this Summer. No. No. No. It is all about the grill. I am considering buying the boy an obnoxious grilling apron. Something with a classy tagline such as "Grill Daddy", "Mr. Good Lookin' is Cookin'", or "Grill Sergeant. I Don't Take Orders..I Give Them". Whatever I choose it will be timeless and classy. Everything a man's grilling apron should be. I digress. So since we have gotten this grill Mama D (my fabulous mom) has introduced us to cedar planks for the grill. She has fashioned many recipes on this plank and has claimed it will change lives. Naturally, I was open to it. If you listen to one thing I say this year, let it be this. Go and get yourselves some cedar planks. Here is what you are going to make with them. 
What you will need:
Or if you are a VIP and have a Costco membership, you can get a grouping of 10 from there for $24.95. Oooohhh. Aaaahhhh. These things are a game changer. Don't say I didn't tell you. 

Is your mouth watering yet? Holy. Friday. What are you getting into this weekend? Some planking of your own? Do it!

The agenda for next week. I have a crazy busy week ahead, BUT, the fabulous Courtney from A Little Glass Box and I are kicking off a Summer Series that I know you all are going to love. I will leave you with this. Be sure to check back with us for Summer decorating, fashion, entertaining tips and DIY's.  
Here is the schedule so you can mark it on your calendars you organized ladies, you.

Aaaaanddddd last but certainly not least. Today is a very big day in our household. Today is Stella's 7th Birthday. She is Mommy and Daddy's big girl and its amazing that it was so long ago that she was doing naughty puppy like things because it feels just like yesterday. Oh wait. That is because it was yesterday. Happy Birthday to the woman with partial ownership of the keys to our hearts. Stella. Her eyes glow too. That is a symptom of naughtiness I am told. 
Happy Weekend my lovers!

  1. I am not kidding when I say I am headed to Costco this weekend for some cedar planks. Those crabcakes and nachos need to happen in our house STAT. Grilling apron is a genius idea for your man. Classic and sophisitcated. My husbands would say "I grill for booze."

  3. Happy Birthday Stella!!! I am so pumped to celebrate an extra drinkie in her honor tonight! Also, Matthew has a black man-pron from Sur La Table and I think we need to get a matching one for your boy. We'll get it monogrammed with something awesome. King of the Grill and Grill Daddy top my list.
