It’s officially Grilling season here in New England. Memorial Day weekend usually starts it off for us. The weather hasn’t been all that great I have to admit. Spring has been slowly making it’s way, and Summer is taking it’s sweet time too! However it hasn’t stopped us from removing that grill cover! Or even eating outside a few time already. So, I thought it would be a good idea to share with you some of my favorite grilling recipes.
Here’s the kicker. I came across some notes from last year, on my “list to do” one week was to do a post on Grilling recipes. Well here I am a year later finally getting to it! Ha! I’m not busy at all 🙂 I am here to prove to you all that chicken, pork and steak isn’t the only thing you can cook on a grill! A few summers ago when my daughter was 9 months old I lived up at our camp for the summer. Going back and forth every weekend proved to be more work than I thought so I just decided to pack it up and live there for the summer and my husband commuted to work from there. It was one of the best summers of my life. Why? Well peace and quiet in the woods with my baby girl! Well, we had cable, internet, AC, don’t worry we don’t rough it in our 40 ft trailer! What I really loved about it was it taught me think “outside” the box as far as cooking went. I didn’t want to heat our trailer on an 80 degree day, we did have a full sized stove, however I destined to really figure out certain dishes on the grill. So I’m here to teach you how to make anything and everything on the grill! From a meatloaf to a breakfast pizza! Ready? Here we go!
The BEST Steak Marinade – Yes I’m addicted to making my own marinade. I have a problem. Hi I’m Tammi and I have an addiction to making my own marinades.
Caprese Griled Meatloaf – YES folks you can grill ANYTHING!! A few summers ago when Madison was only 9 months I lived up at our summer camp because it was just easier rather than going back and forth every weekend. I got pretty creative with dinners, who wants to put the oven on in a 30 foot trailer when it’s 90 degrees out? Not I! I mastered the meatloaf on the grill and why not make it Caprese because yes……I have a Caprese addiction too. Stay tuned I have a Caprese Stuffed Chicken to share with you soon! Oh and check out the tip I’ve shared on how to make any meatloaf just “Perfect!”
Taco Turkey Burgers – FINALLY a turkey burger that isn’t dry and DOES NOT lack flavor. My trick is the toppings! Pile it on high and bite into this baby, you will not be disappointed. I’ve also used a Fajita packet too however this Momma is cutting out a lot of things these days to make healthier dishes , my next goal is making my own rubs, dressings, marinades and spices! I am saying good bye to the packaged stuff!
Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad Sandwiches – OK I’m starting to see that I have a lot of addictions here guys. I’m also addicted to Caesar salad anything! I made these last summer and now that I’m looking back on this recipe I realize I have to make my own Caesar dressing ASAP!
Herbed Chicken Kebobs – These were just posted this past weekend when the #SundaySupper family joined American Family Insurance to our dinner table with 20 outstanding recipes straight from the Garden! I’ve made a version of these with Pork a few summers ago, how ironically it was my very first #SundaySupper post. However this time I added in some fresh basil and it made this marinade THAT much better! This is by far the best marinade I’ve ever made, try it with chicken or pork tenderloin!
Pizza on the Grill – What is summer without Pizza on the grill?? Don’t be one of those people that won’t put pizza on a grill! Come on! Here are two recipes I made one summer that are sure to knock your socks off. Grilled Breakfast Pizza and Sauteed Corn and Spinach Pizza. Trust me………try it!
Stuffed Turkey Burgers – This one was inspired from a foodie friend of mine! Who wouldn’t want to stuff a burger??!!! It’s genius! Pickles, bacon and cheese come on now!!!
Grilled Caprese Sandwiches – AGAIN yep another Caprese favorite, clearly you can throw any sandwich on a grill but this is one of my favorites! Here I made it at home but last summer I was obsessed with making these on our grill! Fresh mozzarella cheese, Fresh tomatoes from the garden and YES Fresh basil from the Garden too! A whole bunch of freshness going on here folks!
Chicken Satay Skewers with Spicy Thai Dipping Sauce– I made this one for a Featured Friday awhile back, I was blown away at this dish! Gourmet right here at my own camp!
So now that I’ve proved to you that you can make ANYTHING on a grill are you going to go and try one of these?? Which one would you start with??
