Kebobs, with each ingredient on its own skewer so everything is cooked perfectly.

We love to grill pizza! Fresh, homemade pizza dough, fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, and olive oil drizzled on top. Yum!

Turkey burgers and grilled aspargus is one our favorite weeknight dinners. Love fresh veggies straight off the grill, yum!

I love grilling corn on the cob and making a creamy lime/chili adobe sauce to drizzle over it.

Nothing says "summer sizzle" like a grass-fed cheeseburger on the grill.

Grilled tri-tip steak on grilled garlic bread. It's amazing. Take a look here for the general idea: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/easy-grilled-tri-tip/Detail.aspx

Grilled vegetables are my favorite. Toss them with a little balsamic vinegar, olive oil and sea salt--grill and enjoy!

I really want to try making pizza on the grill this summer.

I like a little Oktoberfest in July with some grilled sausages and beer...well the sausages are grilled. Still haven't worked out how to grill the beer yet. :D

Kabobs are the best - especially for family get-togethers! Create a group of foods - meats (pork, chicken, salmon, tofu, scallops, shrimp), veggies (asparagus, zucchini, peppers, onions, mushrooms), fruits (pineapple, tomato), and sauces (pesto, BBQ, teriyaki, olive oil, jerk), and then let the kabob building begin! It's so delicious, healthy, and easy to make! There's something for everyone!

Sure is easy here in Florida to make your summer sizzle since it's already 90+ degrees! So... what do we do? We bar-b-que at the beach!

We grill at least weekly all summer, and most of the year. We're a beef-eating family, so lots of burgers and steaks, and my husband uses an electric smoker to do briskets and ribs and chicken (and even last year's Thanksgiving turkey).
05/10/2011 7:26:17 AM CDT
Everything sounds delicious! Cant wait to fire up the grill!
05/10/2011 8:53:34 AM CDT
I grill fruit for dessert all summer long. It is such an easy, healthy way to have a treat!
05/10/2011 9:02:18 AM CDT
We love to grill everything from juicy steaks to fresh veggies. This Summer I'd love to make a sizzling, sweet dessert on the Weber! I would love to win the Summer's Best Grilling Basket and use the gift card to shop for dessert ingredients!

I do not make my summer sizzle, but I believe with this basket & my backyard organic garden I will be able to.

Kabobs...I love grilled pineapple, peppers, mmm!
