i truly couldn’t be more excited. ever since i learned how to grill a few summers back, grilling has become one of my absolute favorite parts of the summer season (which, coming from mn, says a LOT since we pretty much live for the summer here).
earlier this year, when i asked you guys over on instagram whether or not you like to grill, you said you love grilled food but you don’t feel super confident when it comes to doing the grilling yourselves. you still need some help with grilling fundamentals…
- “i need help with lighting the grill without burning my eyebrows off!”
- “show us your entire grilling process, bc i am intimidated!”
- “can you show us how to grill meat? how do you not turn a steak into a car tire?!”
- “how do you grill veggies without burning them to a crisp?!”
- “i don’t get the temperatures…like, it’s fire. it’s hot right?! haha…clearly my bf grills for me…”
sound familiar? good. you’re in the right place.
