Let’s Celebrate Summer: Recipes for the Grill

Nothing captures the essence of summer quite like grilling. Whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue or simply enjoying a meal with your family, grilling offers a delicious way to make the most of the last sunny days. 

Fire up the flavor this summer with four simple, grill-ready recipes that are sure to please any crowd.  

Easy BBQ Ideas for Lazy Summer Days 

Let’s dive into the flavors that make summer so special!  

Grilled Chicken Skewers  

Start with some juicy Grilled Chicken Skewers. They’re incredibly easy to prepare and full of savory goodness. 

Marinate thinly sliced pieces of chicken in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and a touch of paprika for a few hours. Once marinated, place the chicken onto skewers, alternating with colorful bell peppers and slices of red onion. Next, grill the skewers for about 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred. 

For a light yet satisfying meal, these skewers pair perfectly with a cool, fresh salad.  

All-American Burgers  

There’s nothing quite like a classic All-American Burger in the Florida summer. Shape your beef patties, season with salt and pepper, and fire up the grill. Feeling cheesy? Add a slice of American cheese to your patty, and cook each side for 4-5 minutes.  

Serve in sesame buns, lined with crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and your favorite condiments. Trust us, these burgers will have everyone asking for seconds!  

Grilled Vegetables  

No BBQ is complete without a medley of Grilled Vegetables. Think asparagus, zucchini, eggplant, and cherry tomatoes. Simply toss them in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and herbs de Provence before placing them on the grill. 

In minutes, you’ll have smoky, tender veggies that make a delightful side or a hearty topping for your burger.  

Grillable Dessert: Grilled Peaches with Honey  

After the savory comes something sweet! Why not finish with grilled peaches? Halve and pit some ripe peaches, then place them cut side down on the grill for about 4 minutes per side. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon for a dessert that’s as simple as it is delicious. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to take it to the next level.
