All summer long my family gathers outdoors.The kids play in the yard while my husband mans the grill. We spend mostevening as a family preparing dinner and we like to grill out as much aspossible. Grilling enables the whole family to spend more time together as afamily while enjoying the great outdoors.
My husband especially loves to grill and heis great at it. He likes to find new marinades and rubs and he loves to try newrecipes whenever given the chance. He is my family’s grilling specialist andwhen it comes to grilling I defer to his expertise. Like any art form, the correcttools are essential.
A broken handle, a rusty grate, and ashredded grill cover are not the best tools to use when trying to create agrilling masterpiece. We received our grill well over six years ago from myparents and it has not held up well over the years. In fact it is fallingapart. I decided that for Father’s Day this year my husband deserved a newgrill that was fully functional and looked great.
This weekend we went to Sears to pick out anew grill and some great grilling accessories for my husband’s Father’s Daygift from the whole family. I knew that I wanted to make this purchase throughSears after I had the opportunity to peruse my Sears Local Ad as well as their online catalog.
After spending a fun filled afternoon at the local Sears store wefound just what we were looking for. Everyone had an opinion and everyone needed to experiment with all of the grills!
To make my shopping experience even better I wasable to get free assembly on my grill! I was also able to sign up for the Shop Your Way Rewards program {which is a free rewards program} through Sears.Since I used my Sears credit card I earned 2x the reward points and saved 5% onmy purchase! We could not be happier with this purchase. We saved money andearned rewards! We will definitely be heading back to Sears next month topurchase our new washer and dryer.

We have been a big fan of Kenmore and lookforward to using our Kenmore grill all summer long. To celebrate the purchaseof his new grill my husband decided to make one last meal on our old grill as a final farewell. He used his brand new grilling accessories to make grilled Greek chicken {and it wasdelicious}. He has been kind enough to share the recipe and some grilling tipsand tricks.

Whenmaking Grilled Greek Chicken we pair it with a Greek pasta salad and wholewheat dinner rolls. For desert we slice up some watermelon and get messy!
Sincemy husband loves to grill he has decided to share some of his tips and tricksfor being successful when manning the grill.
- Don’tover marinate – Most foods only require a short amount of time to marinate. Ifsoaked too long some food turns to mush and other food gets tough.
- Whenusing a rub be gentle.
- Knowwhen your meat is done. Pay attention to the time you are cooking and if allelse fails use a meat thermometer to get an accurate reading on the readinessof your food.
- Don’tpour water on a flare up! Reduce the heat and place the lid on the grill.
