With Memorial Day just a week away, it’s almost the unofficial start of summer. I don’t know about you, but I’ll be welcoming the warm weather and longer days by lounging about on the patio, soaking up the sunshine. This is the time of year when I start taking my meals outside. Backyard BBQs, picnics in the park, and cooking outdoors are far more appealing to me than standing around in the kitchen watching the sun go down from behind the sliding glass door. Instead, let’s fire up the grill! There’s something so nostalgic about the smoky smell of beef patties cooking on the grill, and who doesn’t love the age old tradition of dressing up a burger with all your favorite fixings? Host the next great American barbecue with tasty recipes for the grill like steak, shrimp kabobs, and burgers that are taken above and beyond with unexpected flavor combinations and mouthwatering preparation.
Check out this list of delicious summer recipes and plan a summer grilling menu that is sure to impress. When you’re all done cooking, I’d recommend starting up the blender, fixing yourself a margarita, and kicking back on the patio. It’s time to welcome summer with a full plate of food, good company, and a smile. Mmm, hmmm.

These all look delicious! I’ve had very similar stuffed peppers with pulled pork before and can attest that it is exactly what someone should look forward to for summer grilling. If you’re looking to add a little extra spunk to it, I recommend a light seasoning with chili powder. Just a little of it goes a long way!
Grilling is so central to our family’s summer experience. It brings me back to my childhood when my father fired up the grill each night and cooked my favorite burgers, barbecue chicken and the juiciest corn on the cob. These grilled delights always put a smile on my face. Grilling is an art and my father was a master at it. Sitting outside on my deck and eating our barbecue treats today, including our now favorite grilled eggplant, reminds our family of our love affair with summer. Quicker cooking and an easier cleanup are two bonuses we enjoy during the summer season. But the grill flavors, which take us back to earlier times, while continuing to comfort us today, contribute to making each summer a time to remember.
My wife and I just bought our very first charcoal grill for the backyard last weekend. As a cooking enthusiast, these recipes are exactly what I’ve been looking for to grow and hone my grilling chops. Grilled Asparagus with lemon, love it, the smokey flavor with the lemon, I’m sure makes for a mouthwatering experience. I can’t wait to give these recipes a try this summer.
