Foodie Friday: 14 Recipes To Grill Before Summer Is Over

{ Via: Serena & Lily }

Wait! Don't put that grill away yet. Even though Labor Day is the unofficial end of Summer, there is actually is 22 more days with, hopefully, good grilling weather. Before we take the cooking back inside, lets linger longer outside. I may have just saved the best recipes to last.


HERE: 14 Recipes To Enjoy This Weekend

Grilled Sangria
Let's begin the long weekend with a cocktail, shall we? It promises to have a smoky depth to every sip. The caramelized sugar from the fruit, adds the richness. Cheers!

Fresh Herb Grilled Pesto Lamb Chops
How pretty are these? Served on a bed of arugula and garnished with pomegranate seeds, your guests will be impressed.

Grilled Pesto Zucchini Stuffed With Tomatoes and Orzo
This recipe is for my sister and anyone else that grows their own. Her crop is always so delicious, and this recipe looks fabulous, too.

 Texas Brisket with Coleslaw and 
Barbecue Sauce
Picture perfect! You will need to start this recipe two days before you serve it, but I bet it is so worth it.

The Ultimate S'more
The secret to these towering treats are square marshmallows. We all need to make these before grilling season is over. Yum!

Grilled Chicken, Mango & Green
 Onion Tacos
Raise your hand if you love tacos! I eat them fairly frequently, but never actually eat the tortilla. Oh those carbs! These mangos will change up Tuesday Taco night in your home. The flavorful chicken thighs will play 
nicely with the fruit. 

Swineapple
Apologies for the awful name of this recipe. Almost as bad sounding as my Mother's Dump Cake! But I had to include it as this is one delicious appetizer. I doubt if you will be able to make enough, so double recipe. And it is said to have the best aroma. It's a sweet and salty mashup of fresh pineapple, barbecued ribs, and thick cut bacon. Oh My!

BLT And Potato Chip Lobster Rolls With Peach Salsa
So the lobster is not grilled in this recipe, but the corn is. And surely you could grill the lobster if you wished (and I would.) Lobster would be my choice as a "last meal" request. I might even eat the bun under that circumstance. These just sound better than most of the other lobster rolls that I have seen. Can't you just hear the crunch of the chips? This recipe makes me want lobster NOW! 

Grilled Jamaican Jerk Grilled Eggplant
If you like spicy saucy food, this recipe is for you! I love the idea of the spritz of lime. The citrus will cut the heat. This dish is done in 30 minutes from start to finish.

Smoky Chipotle Cheddar Burgers With Mexican Street Corn Fritters
I must make a confession. I don't like a boring hamburger. Don't even get me started on those frozen Bubba "things." These are anything but boring. This recipe had me at Chipotle. The smoky flavor really adds to any dish. My Mom made corn fritters back in the day. They were delish and quite easy to whip up.

Grilled Pineapple Margarita
The Grilled Pineapple Margarita adds different levels of smoke, spice and richness. It all creates a cocktail that’s familiar while still being new and interesting.

Grilled Roasted Tomatoes With 
Fresh Mozzarella
Make this recipe before the fresh tomatoes are gone. The recipe is super easy.

Grilled California Avocado Chicken
Pretty as a picture, isn't it? The key to this colorful dish is the marinade. I happen to think that all chicken benefits from a good marinade. This one features honey and balsamic vinegar, which is something I use frequently. It is said to be incredible. I know that it looks like it is.

Grilled Strawberry Shortcake With Balsamic Vinegar
This is an unique take on the classic shortcake. First, one uses a store bought Angel Food cake. I for one, would make my own. Then you soak fresh strawberries in the Balsamic and pepper. The vinegar enhances the fresh berries sweetness and the pepper accentuates it even more. Sounds yummy.
