Ahhhh… the ultimate smell of summer… the BBQ!
Tonight I was taunted by the aroma of my neighbor’s barbeque.
Tomorrow perhaps I’ll retaliate with a scrumptious creation from my Better Homes and Gardens New Grilling Cookbook.
Are you like me… tired of coveting your neighbor’s bbq dinner?
I know I spend too many evenings wishing my own grill was the source of that sweet scent floating by my lawn. So, now I have the solution — the Better Homes and Gardens New Grilling Cookbook — and you can have one too.
In fact two of our lucky readers will soon be in their grilling glory as they cook their way through this fantastic new cookbook.
And after dinner both winners can relax and read one of the issues of their new Better Homes and Gardens magazine subscription.
Sounds great hey?
We’re joining BHG in celebrating the launch of their updated website www.bhg.com, with this fantastic contest. Just add your comment and let us know if you’d like to be one of the two winners to receive a New Grilling Cookbook and a year magazine subscription to Better Homes and Gardens.
We’ll randomly draw the winners on Friday, July 20th. Best of luck to you!
(Sorry Canadians… this one’s only for our American neighbors.)

I’m so guilty of grill envy. I can be 90% done with cooking the night’s dinner and I smell someone else’s grill going and suddenly, I don’t even want what I’ve slaved over on the stove!

The Better Homes & Gardens “checkerboard” cookbook is a family favorite — my mom got me a copy of my own when I first moved away from home. I would love to try their grilling cookbook based on this review, plus knowing how much use I get out of their basic book. Thanks!
#25 - Mikki @ 9:35 am
I love BHG’s web site. I can’t wait to jog over there and see the new things. I also LOVE to BBQ. We live back in the woods so I don’t usually get tempted by the smell of neighbors masterpieces, but I do tend to look at my nice grill and dream. I would LOVE to get my hands on this new book to be inspired.
One day I will be like Bobby Flay and have my own.. Girl Meets Grill show.. LOL.

#29 - jenna @ 10:17 am
I actually gave this to my father-in-law for Father’s Day this year. He immediately opened it and started reading it, bookmarking favorites, and couldn’t put it down…. not playing with his grandchildren! Please put me in the drawing; I don’t think I’ll ever be able to look at his copy again!
