Have you ever had one of those weeks?

Grill melting the snow away

As expected, the grill lights right up and melts the snow off as it preheats.

Grill covered in snow

With nothing in the kitchen working this is what I walk out to…a grill covered in snow.

Found out last Sunday that our microwave was broke so we ordered a new one on Monday. Tuesday discovered that the refrigerator is on the fritz so we have to order a new refrigerator on Friday. Tonight I come home to make pork chops recipe that I have been really wanting to make and see that the oven will not preheat. ?

Now I need to “grillprovise” to prepare our dinner.

Facing an unusual amount of snow and cold weather for November what’s a good old Midwest girl suppose to do?I fire up the old MHP and let the snow melt off while I figure out how to transform my oven recipe into a recipe I can prepare on our grill. ?

I figure with a little grill knowledge I can turn most any recipe into one I can put on the grill! So, Italian Breaded Pork Chops with a side of Grilled Squash to the rescue….dinner has been saved!
