My favorite thing to grill in the summer is corn. We brush it with olive oil before grilling and then mix up local honey, melted butter, sea salt, pepper and ground red pepper to put on the corn when it comes off of the grill. YUM!

Oh please, please, please may I win this goodie bag? I would so love, enjoy, cherish and use this stuff to have a nice old fashioned cookout with my son, his wife and my grandbabies. I love Whole Foods!

My husband is finally starting to eat healthy... we are buying coconut milk, yogurt, and natural sweeteners... he usually doesn't like vegetables but i've got him grilling asparagus, and LIKING IT! He is trying to eat mostly meat and vegetables - that's pretty much it for his 'diet' so he is CONSTANTLY using the grill. Twice a day we use the grill. please let us win... we would love it!

looks great... would be a wonderful way to start the summer

One of my favorite things to add to grilled veggies, seafood, or chicken a minute before taking it off the grill is some fresh local HONEY!! As well as add honey at the last minute to wild rice. It gives it a touch of sweetness that is delicious!

grilling is the only way to cook in the summer!! just refinished our patio and love spending the whole evening out there, with the smell of goodness from the grill!

Our grills (smoker, propane, and charcoal x2) are an extension of our kitchen all year round (in fact it was our kitchen during our recent home renovation!) Looking forward to grilling some grass fed free range beef this weekend that my mom picked up while visiting my sister in Kansas a few weeks ago....

That basket looks like a great way to kick off summer and grilling season. Can't come soon enough, since we are watching it snow this morning outside Denver!!

Summer means cookout time! I look forward to May through October every year thanks to our amazing famers market here in Maryland with all local produce. I fill my basket up every week with fresh summer squash, red potatoes, vadallia onions, sweet peppers, zucchini, and carrots. After cutting upsome hormone-free steaks or chicken breasts, they vegetables get tossed in olive oil, fresh garlic, sea salt, and fesh ground pepper, adn the meats get marinated. Any different combo and switch the spices up a tad and there is always a new menu for the grill! Ah I love this time of year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We live in Florida so we use our grill year-round. In the summer we love to get the first tomatoes of the season and jalapeños and onions, grill them all to a nice char and make salsa. Great over grilled meat or fish or just some chips and a margarita!
05/11/2011 8:40:23 AM CDT
We grill everything we possibly can during the summer!! My favorites have to be veggies, especially asparagus on the grill.
05/11/2011 8:40:26 AM CDT
Garden fresh veggies on the grill with plenty of fresh herbs! We also love grass fed burgers! Can't wait to fire it up!
05/11/2011 8:40:27 AM CDT
I would love to have this giveaway to go along with my grilling sessions!!

As a chef/caterer and a mom, I'm a HUGE fan of grilling. It's quick, easy and adds lots of flavor to meats, vegetables and even fruits! My kids will eat every vegetable I put in front of them if it has those tasty striped lines! My clients love our Balsamic Glazed Grilled Vegetables with asparugus, eggplant, peppers and portobello mushrooms. Lightly seasoned, brushed with olive oil and finished with a balsamic reduction glaze! Get Grilling!

I love the steak and chicken kabobs at WF!
05/11/2011 8:40:38 AM CDT
Mmmm grilled soy-lime marinated salmon, throw on some corn on the cob in their husks, and finally a ton of full veggie skewers. Perfect summer meal!
05/11/2011 8:40:40 AM CDT
This basket would be awesome to receive! I can't wait to start "everything summer" now that warm weather has arrived. I love whole foods food!

Wow, what an awesome prize pack! I live in a condo that doesn't have outdoor space, so we are big fans of our Foreman grill. I love grilling all that summer zucchini and mixing it with fresh corn kernels in a salad, yummy!
One of our neighbors does have a patio on the roof and we invite ourselves over as much as politely possible, especially whenever he grills! =D
