The Grill Canopy is a KickStarter campaign for a better grill cover. Easy on, easy off, rests in a bracket that attaches to the side of your grill when it's not in use.
Even better? It was designed by Canadians. I trust them design a cover that will work in the dead of winter. I hate wrestling with my frozen grill cover, trying to pry it off the grill.
Looking for a great cover for your grill? Please support the Grill Canopy Kickstarter [Kickstarter.com]. They have seven days left in their campaign. I want one of these covers. No, I NEED one of these grill covers.
FCC note: I am not being compensated in any way for this post - I want this KickStarter to succeed. I want one, now!

Brian, you’re right, preparing the night before always helps. On soccer nights, I would give the kids a quick snack (PB&J sandwich was my stand-by), and save a “sit down dinner” for after Soccer. That dinner would have to be something we could walk in the door and eat - pressure cooker or slow cooker were my standbys, so I had it ready to go when we arrived, hungry and cranky.

It's tough enough cooking dinner during the summer when our two boys are out of school, now with school about to resume and soccer practice/games 4 days out of 5 from Mon-Fri until mid October, the next 7 weeks are going to be even tougher. Why does soccer have to be at 5:30 anyway? If it were at 6:00 then at least there would a little time to get dinner prepared after picking the kids up from daycare at 5:00. Tues and Wed are going to be the hardest since with both of us working, there will be zero time to get anything ready for dinner prior to leaving for soccer. My wife is off on Mon and I'm off on Fri afternoon so those days are more manageable. I think for the middle of the week, we'll have to prepare something the night before in either the slow cooker or the pressure cooker.

Thanks - freezer pot luck is a great idea. (Though, I have to admit, I usually save that for lunch - soups, stews and chilis in 2 cup containers in the freezer.)
