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…

We love to grill veggies and tofu together with a little marinade. We also like to use a grill for sandwiches.

Traditional, outdoor BBQ grills can be very hard to maintain. They are hard to store, inconvenient to clean & over time, can rust. They can hold bacteria which can cause food to taste differently than it would were it cooked on a sanitary environment & they can be an eye sore! My husband really like to bbq but living in an area where the summer temperature surpasses the century mark & the triple digit heat lasts well into the night, standing over a hot flame is the last place he wants to be. With all the the conveniences of the Breville Smart Grill, we could easily have bbq any time of year!

I love grilled fruits and veggies (even romaine lettuce!) along with veggie burgers, but my fave grilled food is pizza. There’s something a BBQ does to my homemade whole wheat pizza crust that makes it so tender and chewy. But being in Canada, with the snowy and cold winter making it not all that conducive to grilling, an indoor grill would be amazing to get that same delicious flavour and texture!
Thanks for this contest – and I’m sorry to have read about your online troubles – glad everything is sorted out now!
