Hi friends!
What an odd week. Almost every day some strange interaction occurred – either with me, my kids, or online. To top it off, on Friday I received an email from facebook that my business page was under review because of a 3rd party complaint. This led to losing access to my private account for a couple of days. All in all, a weird week. Nothing of great importance (thankfully). Just distracting and time consuming matters. In a way, though, these things reminded me of all that is going right! Funny how that works.
One thing that went very right this week… Breville contacted me about their new Smart Grill. I haven’t tried the unit (yet) myself, and promptly asked if I could provide a giveaway for Father’s Day on my blog.
I love my Breville Smart Oven Pro and expect to love this grill just as much. We don’t have an outdoor BBQ, so I use a small grill for things veggie meals like vegan burgers, vegan hot dogs, potatoes (yes!), veggies (bell peppers, onions, zucchini, mushrooms), plantains, and more. Grilling brings a better flavor to everything, and concentrates the natural sugars and flavors in vegetables, for the best-tasting plant-based meals.
The grill I’ve been using to date is an older model of a Cuisinart. It’s been ‘ok’ but doesn’t generate the heat and grill power that I’d like. The video and specs on this Smart Grill are pretty impressive. I’m stoked to be trying out the new Breville Smart Grill, and equally stoked that one of you will be too!
It looks mighty mighty! Wouldn’t it make a fab Father’s Day gift?
When I get a chance to try out this beauty, I’ll share some details in another post. In addition to veggies (my favorite vegan food to grill), obvious choices for this appliance include Umami Burgers, Mushroom Pecan Burgers, Tempeh Tickle, and Lemon-Herb Tofu.
Get your grill on, and enter below! Tell me…

I don’t have a grill, so I haven’t tried grilling much of anything. But, a couple of years ago, some friends invited us over for a barbecue and I brought marinated tempeh – this is how I learned that marinated tempeh is just amazing grilled! I’d be delighted to have a grill so I could try some of the fantastic ideas that have been shared here!

I love to grill all kinds of veggies but sweet corn is the best – then squeeze fresh lime juice over the top – scrumptious!

We do not have a grill so this would be a new experience for us. I would love to try grilled portabellas.

I love getting my husband to grill veggies — but for a treat, we’ll grill pizza as well (featuring pesto, caramelized onions, and sliced tomato! So delicious.

My husband LOVES grilling! Our go-to things to grill are corn on the cob, jalapeรฑo black bean burgers and veggie kabobs. We basically love any kind of homemade vegan burger though. This grill looks amazing! Especially for those of us in Canada who have long winters and cant always use an outside grill!
