I just returned from a much needed ladies getaway. We were visiting and staying with a friend who recently moved to Delray Beach, Florida. What a great town! Lots of shops, restaurants, beautiful beaches, and of course great company!
Grilled Vegetable Pizza
I have always wanted to make pizza on the grill. I have to admit I was a little nervous to throw the dough right onto the grill. I kept envisioning the dough falling down through the grates and making a huge mess. Thankfully that didn’t happen! Whew!
Now I am wondering why I didn’t try this sooner. It was so easy and oh so yummy!
Grilled Caprese Chicken
Who says chicken has to be boring? Not anymore!
This grilled chicken would be a perfect addition to your Memorial Day picnic menu. It’s so easy to prepare and with very little clean up. Your guests will certainly be impressed with this one!
Grilled Fruit Skewers
Fire up the grill for this yumminess! I have never been good at making desserts, but sometimes I surprise myself.
Dessert recipes seem to require me to actually measure things. I am more of a throw it together kind of girl. Well this throw it together dessert is so easy and delicious I will be making this again very soon!
Grilled Sweet Potato Fries
As soon as it gets warm outside I am ready to fire up the grill so get ready for some grilling recipes!. It makes my life so much easier. Grilling is fast, makes food taste even more delicious, and the best part, very little clean up.
I have been on a sweet potato kick lately. I’m really starting to like them. I just needed to get a little more creative with the ingredients. So I decided to make grilled sweet potato fries.
Grilling them gave them the perfect crunch on the outside and the combination of fresh cilantro and citrus is so good, you will keep going back for more! In fact, my husband did. Again and again until they were gone.
You can boil the sweet potatoes the day before and store in fridge overnight. Then slice up and grill the next day for a quick side dish. You could also cook these in a cast iron skillet if you do not have a grill.
