grills some salmon fillets or tuna steaks and or some shrimp kebabos or chicken ones with cherry tomatoes and onion and pineapple you can have it with grilled corn on the cob or those grill foil bags make diced red skin potatoes and red and yellow peppers and onions and carrots and broccoli or any veges u like and cook over heat and serve with ur meal
a nice type of fish, veggies that can be grilled, and mabey some type of pasta that can be boiled onthe grill, a angel hair works good,
grilling not too sexy, unless its in your back yard in your new home.
