Top Ten Foods For The BBQ/Grill

1. Hamburgers- really is there anything better than some good ground chuck? I like mine plain or sometimes mixed with Lee and Perins.

2. Hot Dogs- okay so they are not the best thing for you...unless you use Trader Joe's Uncured Beef Hot Dogs with no nitrates. Their turkey dogs are good too. Every once in a while though there is nothing like a Nathan's or Sabrett!

3. London Broil- is there any other steak so great for the grill? I like dipping mine in sauce made out of mayo, ketchup and parsley.

4. Chicken Legs- marinated in Italian dressing or with BBQ sauce is my favorite.

5. Sweet Sausage- served with peppers and onions on Italian bread.

6. Peppers- yellow, orange and red are my favorite.

7. Zuchini- tossed with olive oil and some basil.

8. Corn on the Cob- I have heard of so many ways to make it? Throw it on with the husk, remove the husk...which way do you cook it?

9. Baked Beans- well on the side burner of the grill :)

10. Marshmellows- does anyone else get as excited as I do for toasting marshmellows? We have a gas grill so have to make our own little grill with charcoal just for the marshmellows. Last night we used a foil pie plate on top of a couple of huge stones. It worked really well. My son had it all over his face to prove it!

Top Ten Reasons Scotty McCreery Should Win American Idol

1. He sticks to his convictions.

2. He takes responsibility. Remember in the auditions the one group kicked out that young boy. Scotty apologized on stage for not sticking up for him and being a man.

3. He wouldn't go along with Lady Gaga. Instead he kissed his cross.

4. When asked about him and Lauren being an item he said no, they are like brother and sister. How sweet!

5. His idol is a country star who stays true to his Christian faith, even with all that drinking that is around him.

6. When the judges are speaking to him after a performance he can hear him saying "thank you, thank you very much". Such good manners!

7. When told to change it up a bit, he still stayed true to who he is.

8. Have you heard that boy sing?

9. He is an all American boy. At least what an all American boy used to be!

10. Can't wait to see his reaction when he wins (and his parents too)!
Anyone else looking forward to watching tonight?
