Great Grilling Recipes

A friend of mine and I were discussing how much we dislike cooking during the summer. For so many reasons. It heats up the house, we want to be out playing in the sun or at the pool, and the everyday reasons of feeling unappreciated. But it does not have to be this way. There are other options.

We are going to start with The Grill! There are so many options. Meats, veges, pizzas, desserts! YES! All this! The BBQ is for more than burgers and steaks. I all ready posted about the Asian Grilled Chicken Rolls. Here are a couple other ideas to get you started.

Serving Suggestion
Balance this grilled steak with smart side dishes, such as grilled vegetables and a mixed green salad for a delicious summertime dinner.
