Everyone waits for, and craves BBQ season. Neighbors getting together, smelling supper the moment you pull into the drive way (if someone else is cooking!) and delicious food. But sometimes the BBQ recipes loose their edge and we fall into using the same recipes over and over. What if, this summer, when your friends came over, you surprised them with an unexpected twist on BBQ-ing? We’ve put together a list of incredibly enticing and delicious BBQ foods that are sure to please children and adults alike. Better yet, you may inspire your neighbors to take their BBQ game to the next level as well.
Greek food is always a crowd pleasing dish to serve at any gathering, but rarely is it thought of for a summer BBQ. This fresh recipe has it’s own home made dressing that will be a healthy alternative to a heavy burger doused in high calorie toppings.
