The Best Foods for the Grill

Summer is winding down, so you better bet your grill time in while you can!

What are the best foods on the grill?

Burgers

When it comes to the grill, burgers are boss. I don't care if they are beef, veggie, turkey, or some combination of the three. Burgers taste better when grilled.

Veggies

Grilled zucchini is one of my favorite foods. Long, thin slices tossed with a little olive oil and Montreal steak seasoning then grilled until cooked through and slightly caramelized. Amazing.

Hot dogs

Another grill staple, if you don't know how to make the perfect dog, read HERE.

Fruit

I know, sounds crazy, but get ripe Jersey peaches, cut them in half, brush with a smidge of vegetable oil and grill them. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon and brown sugar, and serve alongside vanilla ice cream...it's heaven. I also recommend grilled figs (reduce balsamic vinegar until it becomes a sweetened syrup to drizzle on top -- thank me later.) Grilled pineapple is also delish.

Shrimp

Marinate jumbo shrimp in Italian dressing, then grill away. Yum.
