Grilling Ideas for Paula's Sunday Patio Party

[pamperdpaula]

Hi,

I'm doing a party on Sunday that is going to be outside on the patio. They want me to do something on the grill although I do have the run of the place and the host has offered to go in and pop things in and out of the oven, stove, micro, as needed. I'm a little afraid of the grill and have no idea what to make, but I really like them and want to be accommodating. They've already been to several shows and have seen just about everything I can do with the DCB. :O) Does anyone have any great ideas that they've done in the past? It's supposed to have over 16 people in attendance. I think I'll be making a turtle fudge skillet cake for dessert, per their request.

Thanks! Paula

I like the pizza on the grill. you could do two at one time since you have so many people. I cannot find the recipe right now, I'll keep looking tho....

Casual Cooking, p13 if you do not have the cookbook, let me know. I'll re-type it for you if you are interested.

Hi Paula,I completely understand your hesitation about using the grill, but don't worry, I have some great ideas for you! One dish that always impresses at outdoor parties is grilled pizza. You can use our pizza stone and your host's grill to make delicious, personalized pizzas for each guest. Another option is to use our grill pan to make grilled vegetable and shrimp skewers, which are always a hit. And for a fun twist, you could even use our mini loaf pan to make individual meatloaves on the grill.I hope these suggestions help and I'm sure your guests will be impressed with your grilling skills. And of course, your turtle fudge skillet cake sounds like the perfect dessert to top off the meal. Have a great party! Best,
