Best Grilling Ideas

Grilling is the perfect summer cooking method - it's quick, easy, and can be done outdoors so you don't have to heat up your kitchen. Plus, there's something about grilled food that just tastes better in the summertime especially if you're throwing a backyard barbecue.

Here are a few of our favorite ideas to help you feed a crowd:

• Grilled Chicken: marinate chicken breasts in your favorite sauce or spice blend, then grill over medium-high heat until cooked through.
• Beef Kabobs: Perfect for summer gatherings, these kabobs are made with lean beef, vegetables, and a delicious marinade. Simply thread the beef and veggies onto skewers, grill for 10-15 minutes, and enjoy!
• Vegetables: slice vegetables like zucchini, eggplant, and bell peppers into thin strips, then grill for 5-10 minutes until charred. Serve as a side dish or top with grilled chicken or salmon for a complete meal.
• Fruit Skewers: thread chunks of fruit onto skewers (try pineapple, watermelon, and mango) and grill for 5-10 minutes. Serve with a dollop of yogurt or honey for a sweet summer treat.

Healthy Summer Grilling Recipes

Summer grilling doesn't have to be unhealthy—with a little creativity, you can enjoy all your favorite foods without sacrificing taste or nutrition. If you're looking for some healthier options, there are plenty of great recipes and ideas available to help you stay on track with your weight loss and/or healthy eating habits:

• One option is to grill vegetables instead of meat. Try grilling zucchini, eggplant, or peppers and serve them with a fresh salad.
• You can also try grilling fruit such as peaches or pineapple.
• Another summer grilling recipe that's both healthy and delicious is grilled salmon. Season the salmon with some lemon juice, pepper, and herbs, then grill it for a few minutes per side. Serve it with a simple side of grilled vegetables or a salad for a complete meal.
