Foodie Friday: Recipes For Cooking Out

{ Via Williams Sonoma }

And this is what I will be doing all weekend if Mother Nature cooperates. Food just tastes better if cooked outdoors, don't you think? Here's inspiration for your Memorial Day and beyond entertaining. 

HERE: 14 Reasons To Fire Up The Grill

Grilled Watermelon and Peach Margarita
Grilling fruit brings out the natural sugars, and adds a smokiness to the fruit. Sweet and smoky always is a delicious duo when it 
comes to cocktails.

Grilled Brie With Blackberry Basil 
Smash Salsa
Perhaps the perfect Summer appetizer. I will definitely make this for the deck crew. 
Half Baked Harvest

Tropical Jerk Grilled Chicken With Charred Mango Salsa Verde
"Marinated with tropical island flavors, garlic, fresh thyme, a touch of cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and plenty of fresh lime. Serve with a charred lemon and mango salsa verde."
Half Baked Harvest

Diner-Style Strawberry Shortcake

No one has time to create a strawberry shortcake on the spot. So make this all American cake ahead of time. Looks so good and summery!

Grilled Romain Salad With Anchovy Mustard Vinaigrette
Sounds like a grilled caesar to me. I can just imagine plating a steak on top of this!
Williams Sonoma Taste

Grilled Swordfish With Fennel Olive Relish

This recipe had me at "Rosé!" The wine in the sauce and the salad dressing is the secret ingredient in chef Jennifer Carroll’s delicious grilled swordfish. It looks so fresh, doesn't it?

Food & Wine

Grilled Clambake With Miso Lime Butter 

This recipe features all of the best components of a classic clambake like shrimp, corn, potatoes. What makes it different is that everything is grilled instead of steamed.  That tasty butter puts the recipe over the top.

Grilled Fish Tacos With Mango Salsa
Nothing is better than a freshly made salsa. It's the only kind that I make. Top some lightly grilled flaky fish with it, and it's paradise. This recipe is easy, colorful, 
and a real crowd pleaser.

Bacon Wrapped Grilled Brussels Sprouts
This may be my favorite recipe of the roundup.  "A quick and simple balsamic marinade makes these the best grilled brussels
sprouts ever!"
Gimme Some Grilling

Spicy Mango Barbecue Ribs
My kind of recipe. Sweet and Spicy.  First you do a rub, and both the rub and the sauce are homemade.....the only way to go in my book.  And did you know that Mangos can bring down high blood pressure?

Key Lime Grilled Chicken Taco Skewers
A quick and easy recipe that's both low carb and gluten free. Only three ingredients!

Flank Steak With Chimichurri Sauce
Confession. I have never made flank steak or even eaten it. People rave about it, but the "tenderness thing" keeps me away. This recipe and video just changed all of that. And doesn't chimichurri sauce elevate everything?
Grandbaby Cakes

Grilled Beef Banh Mi
Have you ever had a Banh Mi? I have not. But as I look at the ingredient list, there is no way that the flavor profile isn't delicious. Think siracha mayo, soy sauce, mirin and more. A good choice if you are having a crowd 
over for lunch. 
Bakers Royale

Grilled Pineapple with Cinnamon
 Honey Drizzle
What a simple and perfect dessert for a cook out. Your guests will love watching you create something on the spot.
