58 Easy Grilling Recipes To Keep in Your Back Pocket

All it takes is a few simple recipes (and a sunny day) for laid-back barbecues and breezy alfresco family meals to come together with ease.

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.

Vacation Notice!

Yep, I’m finally doing it! I’m taking a (very) much needed break for 2 weeks starting July 1st and returning on July 16th. I’ve scheduled some posts for that timeframe, so I won’t leave you hanging.

I’ve been posting for the last 2 years straight, through my husband’s declining health, and finally his passing. I love each and every one of my followers and don’t want to leave you wondering what happened.

To be perfectly honest, my intentions are to use this time to find a place to live in Pennsylvania that is near to my oldest daughter. In the year since my husband’s death, I’ve discovered that right now I can’t bear to visit that cemetery. By the same token, I can’t bear to stay in Florida without him. I’m sure that’s something that other widows and widowers can sympathize with.

So, like Arnold Schwarzenegger said in Terminator, “I’ll be back.”
