    I’d love a grill for pizza, fish, dairy dessert items (fruit to serve with ice cream or sauces)! it’s time to expand from just grilling chicken and bbq

    This could be the answer to my BBQ prayers! Withh B”H 6 married kids and lots of very very lively grandchildren, our yearly BBQ could be done quicker and better so I can have fun and make sure the skewers and marshmallows don’t disappear this (never did find them…). and then have more BBQ’s. Joyofkosher has given me lots of recipes I would love to try. (and thank you!)

    I would say the list covers just about everything. However, for us year round grillers in the Midwest I would add a parka, snow boots, and a shovel to scoop a path to the grill!!

    Most of our BBQ’s include children. We set up a popup shade cover; put a smallish table and chairs under it and include tubs of unopened toys and activities. I replenish it with toys from the dollar store and clearance items that I find during the year. It is an inexpensive way to help the kids have fun and allow the parents time to visit.

    When my children were growing up and we were living in the Hudson Valley, you could always tell it was almost Passover at our house when my husband could be found cleaning and kashering our grill while I slaved away in the house! During Chol HaMoed, weather permitting, my husband would grill chicken for our dinners. Soon, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and the 4th of July would be upon us. We have albums filled with pictures of bbq’s. Our children are grown and we have moved to Florida and now need to new grill to make new memories for our children and grandchildren of my husband cleaning and Kashering the grill for Passover!

    My five year old calls our cook outs “pickle parties”. She has grown watching us have barbecues. We always have platters of raw veggies, cheeses, olives, and pickles, so the cook outs are now referred to as Pickle Parties”.
