After years of experience barbecuing with family and friends, we’ve finally found a few go-to recipes! These recipes are easy and delicious! Here are a some of our favorite summer recipes. We know you are going to love them too!

This easy recipe calls for steak, small potatoes, mushrooms, olive oil, rosemary & salt.
Combine the olive oil, rosemary & salt in a bowl then soak the steak, potatoes & mushrooms in the mixture. Then place the items on kebab sticks & grill!
Items can be grilled directly on the barbecue grill if you don’t have kebab sticks.

Hot summer days call for refreshing water- flat or sparkling! A few of our favorite combinations are:
orange slices, lemon slices, lime slices, cucumber slices and watermelon chunks
or
bag of frozen mixed berries & a few lemon slices
or
apple slices & orange slices

Smother chicken, pineapple, bell peppers, onion, and bacon with either
barbecue sauce
or
1/2 cup brown sugar, 1.5 tbs cornstarch, salt, 1.5 cups pineapple juice, & 2 tbs soy sauce
then put all items on a kebab stick and grill them!


Who doesn’t love chips & dip?!
We love combing black beans, corn, avocado, cherry tomatoes, onion & cilantro
and mixing it with lemon juice, olive oil and salt!

This is one of our go-to deserts!
Cut your peaches in half & lightly cover with oil.
Grill the peaches to your liking.
Top the peach with honey & sea salt & a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
