Hi Friends!

As we head into spring and warmer weather begins to stick around, it’s time to fire up the grill! Grilling is a great way to enjoy the outdoors in the spring and fall, and an easy way to keep your kitchen cool on a hot summer day. Depending on where you live, you may even be able to gril in the winter!

I wanted to round up some healthy grilling recipes for you if you’re ready to dust off the grill but not quite sure where to start.  This roundup includes all sorts of meal ideas. Everything from vegetarian recipes, to seafood, to chicken & pork!

    We actually uncovered our grill at the end of march (and before the end of the snow) because I was so desperate for some grilled chicken and it just doesn’t taste the same on a pan!

    I love grilling! I just started doing it last year. Before it was always too intimidating. I’ve learned it easier actually than cooking. Happy grilling!

    Looking at these recipes makes me want to have a cookout! I don’t have a grill, only a grill pan. I should get one for the spring/summer.
