..I forgot to put my favorite way to make my summer sizzle on the grill..
I am a vegetarian and my husband is not. We really enjoy trying new combinations of foods to come up with things that satisfy the entire family (2 meat eaters, 2 vegetarians).

We use the grill so much during the spring and summer! This is an amazing giveaway! We not only grill most meats and seafood, but our veggies too. Grilled eggplant?? YUM!!

This is a phenomenal package! I only hope you build a store soon in Macomb County, MI. It is in great demand. Especially because that dinky hole in the ground Trader Joes makes bank in Grosse Pointe because there is nothing in Macomb County. Please!

Would love to win this basket. Thanks Whole Foods!

I enjoy grilling seasonal veggies on the grill in a basket and of course sweet corn - my favorite!

This basket all looks so good and healthy! What a great way to start off our long hot summer~! God's blessings to you all!

I like to use both my gas and my charcoal grills. I use all natural wood charcoal, it gives my food a much better taste! I use my grills all year round! It sure would be nice to win all those goodies!

I am so excited for summer and to smell all of the wonderful smells coming from the backyard grill. I love to grill because my daughter really gets into it. We love kabobs, pineapple, veggies, pork tenderloin, and of course the usual hotdogs, burgers, brats, and sausage. It seems like the grill is the gathering spot!
05/11/2011 8:41:29 AM CDT
We live on our grill in the summer and love to do everything from greek marinated chicken to steaks and tons of great veggies. we also will char all the veggies necessary to make my husbands favorite salsas and "spicy sauce." My son loves helping his dad, too!

I love Whole Foods, and I can't wait to grill with their products. It will make all my neighbors crazy.
05/11/2011 8:41:34 AM CDT
I make my summer sizzle by trying to shish kabob veggies, every year I get a little closer to perfection. Lately I bbq brussel sprouts.

We love to grill, and do so often. However, we don't just do it in the summer. We like to grill year round! Even in the cold weather and occassional snow, we/I will be outside grilling breakfast on the griddle or pizza on the grill. In the summer, we like to get very high quality beef and seafood and grill. We often invite friends and make a big party. My favorite is salt and pepper encrusted tuna which you simply sear for a few minutes or less. Have a great summer all!

I make summer sizzle on the grill by grilling veggie burgers, onions, corn, and other veggies. I would love to win this grilling gift basket!

The boys like to be outside playing with water. When that happens is time to undress our hybrid grill and start cooking summer vegetables and amazing meats. They particularly love the charred corn because it has an amazing flavor, is like sweet, tasty, moist popcorn. The meat absolutely get better when cooked on a charcoal grill. We don't use it every day, but we truly enjoy being outside.

This gorgeous weather makes me want to get outdoors and do some grilling. Simple but delicious eating involving veggies and a good marinade. Yum!
05/11/2011 8:41:51 AM CDT
Sounds good! I've been a vegetarian for a little over a year, but last night I actually let it go for a meal in order to have some teriyake grilled chicken. I'm not planning on eating meat full time now, but I must say it was yummy :) If I win, I think the first thing I would want to grill is some beautiful, seasonal veggies, such as asparagus and zucchini. mmmmmm...yep, still loving the vegetarian life!

Looking forward to lots of summer cookouts!
05/11/2011 8:41:52 AM CDT
My Family got me a wonderful Kingsford grill for Mom's Day:) This basket would be a great way to help kick off a yummy summer season of backyard grillin':) Good luck to all!!!!
05/11/2011 8:41:53 AM CDT
Can't wait to start grilling! I especially like grilling veggies and of course steak:)

There is nothing better than planning out a menu, inviting friends and family, going to Whole Foods market and food shopping, coming home and preparing all the wonderful and healthy foods and sharing it with special people. Summertime makes it all that much better! Grilling and eating outside!! Whoohooo!! One of the reasons I went to Culinary school and became a Chef. Not sure which is better....food shopping in my favorite market or actually seeing peoples faces when eating my food! TY Whole Foods for opening 10 min from my home!
