A morning treat for those hangover blues.

Most everything can be prepared on the grill (and some may argue, most everything SHOULD be prepared on a grill), including your potatoes. This little suggestion on how to cook them is very easy, tastes great, and can be prepared and packed up with you if you’re heading out to a picnic or friends for a barbecue. You may choose to add other ingredients to flavour your bake to your taste. I typically use onions as they pack a great subtle taste, and grilled onion has a very tasty, distinct flavour. Especially since most other things that I prepare on the grill utilize onion in some way or another.

Nothing says summer; feels like summer; or tastes like summer than being outdoors and grilling. Especially when you’re grilling brats.

Man, I could tell you some good stories about my summers as a child; growing up where you could get a brat and a pop for 50¢ during Maxwell Street Days in Lodi, Wisconsin. How my grandparents would always have brats and hamburgers just about every day at the cottage for lunch. Or how during Labor and Memorial Days in Madison, Wisconsin, there is a brat festival which sells millions of brats over the weekend for a buck a brat these days. Instead, I’ll share with you the fact that you’ll love boiling them in beer instead of water, simply because of the taste that they give off. It also gets rid of some of the fattiness, but who cares when they taste this good? And you’ll want to look for “Johnsonville Brats,” that’s the best brand if you can find them in your local store.

To be perfectively honest with you, I’D KILL FOR A BEER BRAT. They’re that damn good.
