Simple Grilling Ideas You’ll Use All Season Long

The summer is all about taking it easy. When it comes to mealtime that means moving our cooking outdoors and firing up the grill. Once we give the grill a deep clean and follow a few simple steps to get it set up, we’re ready to cook outside all season long. Whether we’re grilling pizzas for the weekend, mouthwatering mains like chicken or pork chops for a weeknight dinner or appetizers for a cookout crowd, there’s just no matching the smoky flavor and perfect char of food that has come off the grill. Grilling can be intimidating at first — but we’re here to tell you that it’s not difficult to master. Once you get the hang of setting up two different heat zones, all you need is a handful of recipes you can rely on. That’s where these easy-peasy picks come in. You’ll find everything you need to keep you cooking outside all summer long, from burgers and steaks to veggies and desserts.

One of our favorite places to start? Sunny’s easy pork chops. They spend a little time in a marinade of honey, oil, vinegar, cumin and red pepper flakes before getting a quick sear on the grill (they’re done in just 7 minutes) — and they cook up juicy and flavorful every time.
