Time for a Mother's Day Cookout

It's the one day a year we set aside to celebrate Mom and I promise you she would like nothing better than to not have to cook. Chances are (Dad) that you are more comfortable around the grill than the stove so try fire it up. These recipes, last ​year's most popular, show that at the top of Mom's list are some fancy items including Lobster and Steak.

Every year I hear from grateful Mothers about how much they loved the grilled shrimp, lobster, and crab from the grill. These are my most popular seafood recipes and there is sure to be something here she will love. Best of all, seafood grills hot and fast and easy to none of these will take long to prepare.

Mom loves a good steak as much as anyone so ​try one of these fantastic ways to prepare her favorite. There is so much more to a great steak than perfect grilling. Steaks, no matter how good they are, benefit from seasonings, marinades, sauces, and toppings so stretch your grilling skills to a whole new level of flavor.

Just in time for spring, when the grills are firing up, asparagus makes an appearance and gives us all a great opportunity to grill our vegetables. Asparagus is perfect for the grill. Keep the stalks perpendicular to the cooking grates, place them over a high heat, and gently give them an occasional roll. Asparagus can be grilled in as little as five minutes to tender perfection with just the right amount of crunch.
