Is outdoor grilling one of your favorite things to do when the weather turns warm? Mine too! And I know some of you bundle up and grill even when the weather is cold! Either way, you should check out one of my favorite gas grills, the Weber Genesis Liquid Propane Grill and it comes in several colors but I just adore it in Crimson. If budget is a concern then I recommend the Char-Broil Classic 360 3-Burner Gas Grill. Now, if money is no object, then my dream grill would be the Summit 7170001 S-470 Stainless Steel 580 Square Inch Gas Grill with 4 burners including a side burner, sear station burner, smoker burner ad rear-mounted infrared rotisserie burner……now that’s the Rolls Royce of grills! Prefer to heat up the charcoal? Then the Weber 741001 Original Kettle 22-Inch Charcoal Grill is the grill for you. Keep your grill clean with this nifty Bristle Free & Rust Resistant Stainless Steel Grill Cleaning Brush! And be sure to make some Grilled S’mores on that new grill of yours!

Easy Summer Side Dishes

Be sure to round out your al fresco get together with these easy summer side dish recipes. Keep that grill going with Grilled Corn With Tomato Basil Butter or Grilled Corn With Cilantro Lime Butter. Pesto Florentine Campanelle Pasta is the perfect seasonal pasta side dish and Creamy Pesto Potato Salad will delight your tastebuds. Jalapeno Lime Summer Fruit Salad is a refreshing addition to your summer menu and Blueberry Peach Orzo is filled with the fruit flavors of summer.

More Grilling Recipes

Burgers don’t have to be the only main dish cooking on your grill! Grilled Chipotle Chicken ‘N Peaches , Strawberry Basil Margarita Chicken, Grilled Skirt Steak With Cocoa Spice Rub and Spiced-Rubbed Sirloin With Chimichurri Sauce are perfect recipes for the grilling season. And if you love seafood then you definitely must try Grilled Mojito Shrimp and Chipotle Honey Glazed Salmon With Pistachio Butter!
