We love food from the grill.  I don’t often do it during the week.  Not sure why because it’s so easy and makes for less kitchen mess which is always nice.

This weekend try one of our favorites: Grilled Artichokes.

I served with an Heirloom tomato salad and Cedar Plank Salmon.  It’s an easy appetizer, too!

Happy weekend!
