Let's Grill!

O.K. here is some ideas for this week’s savings at our local grocery stores. If you are not in Laramie, Wy, watch for similar savings in your area. Generally, similar sales occur nationwide within a short period of time.

Let’s get cooking! Or grilling as the case might be. Here at The Copper Kettle a shipment of grilling rubs have just arrived. I have been waiting, not so patiently, for it to arrive. These rubs are fantastic! I received a healthy sample of rubs two weeks ago and had some friends (guinea pigs) join me to test these rubs out on the cheapest steaks I could find. We tried to hold back and be polite as we took the first few bites, but in the end we were more like a pack of hungry wolverines. We have 6 wonderful flavors of rubs for your creative juices to try on beef, pork, chicken, fish and vegetables! Original Hickory, Roasted Garlic Peppercorn, Ginger Teriyaki, All American Barbecue, Smoky Spicy Southwest and Hickory & Molasses.
Albertsons have London broil steaks on sale at $1.99/lb. perfect timing! Grab some steaks and get your rub on! While you are there take advantage of their other sales and pick up some zucchini for grillin’ and some Doritos for muchin’. Over yonder at Safeway grab some sliced mushrooms, red and orange bell peppers, cantaloupe, mangos and romaine lettuce (all on sale.) We are going to be grilling some veggies right along with our rubbed steaks. In a large bowl combine sliced and seeded red and orange bell peppers, a package of sliced mushrooms, bias cut zucchinis and onion. In a separate small bowl mix together the juice of one lime, 2 Tablespoons olive oil, ¼ teaspoon salt. Drizzle over the bowl of veggies and mix to coat. Heat the grill to high. Place a grill wok (of course we have these in stock at this moment) on the hot grill, close the lid and let the wok heat for just a minute. Open the grill and spoon the vegetables into the wok. Keep flare ups at a minimum by draining the dressing from the vegetables. Stir often. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the veggies once they are done being grilled.

Till next time, Enjoy!
