America's Grill Masters

I couldn’t resist. I was at the grocery store yesterday, doing some last minute shopping before a late in the year Christmas party, and I had to swing by the meat department. I was a little surprised to find a package of K.C. Strips on sale. As soon as I saw it, I knew when my first grilling randevou was going to be in 2013.

I pulled out the grill, drug it through the snow to be closer to the house, and started hunting down the last of my charcoal. Much to my disappointment, my Cowboy Charcoal was nowhere to be found. I was slowly resolving to prepare my prize on the electric stove when a hope crept into my mind.

The local gas station in our small town just happened to be open. Even better, they had saved some charcoal for me. OK, they happened to have a bag left over...

Here is a delicious little twist on the S’more theme. Add a Banana slice that has been grilled to make it soft like a marshmallow and switch to dark chocolate. This is another simple and delicious dessert that you can make with the tail end of those coals. Grill some up for your Christmas guests.
