Grilled Pizza
Tired of ordering Domino’s and eating frozen pizzas? There is no better way to enjoy a homemade pizza than on the grill – from pepperoni, Hawaiian, margarita they can all be cooked on the bbq. Everyone loves pizza, and with the endless toppings, this is a must recipe to try this summer.
Corn-On-The-Cob
When you think of summertime foods, corn-on-the-cob certainly comes to mind. This meal can be enjoyed all year round, but tossing them on the grill will be a game changer, and you won’t want to eat them any other way. The sweet and lightly charred kernels make a perfect canvas to lather butter, or crack salt/pepper on them. This meal can be served as a side dish or main course.
Shish Kabobs
Shish Kabobs are a summertime barbeque essential. This staple originated in Turkey but has been devoured worldwide with its numerous variations. This recipe requires two main items – protein and vegetables. Protein options such as chicken, lamb, beef and tofu are sliced in cubes, then marinated and are interspersed with vegetables. This recipe requires a bit of preparation time, but once they are grilled to perfection, you are sure to fall in love.
Chicken Wings
Grilled chicken wings are great easy to make an addition to your ultimate summer cookout. You will need to hand toss the wings in your favourite marinade then place on the grill over direct heat, turning them occasionally. Tip: be sure to have napkins ready to wipe your face and hands as this meal can be messy!
