I can’t do BBQ or grilling where I live, but I sure can get ideas on which food and I know exactly the friend I can go to to hangout and have fun grilling! Nice resource here and posts!
Thanks, Robert! At least you are going to be ready when you want to have a BBQ!
I am moving to a house with a garden, having a BBQ, will be something to look forward to. It is great cooking in the open air.
That is so exciting, Francis! Congrats!
BBQ is a great outdoor activity here in Geneva with almost every house having a backyard and with so many gardens where BBQ is allowed. You have great resources and information. Thanks!
Thanks! That is how it is where we live, too!
Grilled Mojo Chicken sounds amazing! all the dishes sound lovely. I usually make my own coleslaw and the red cabbage slaw sounds and looks great! I’ll be pinning this post 😀 Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Sarah! We hope you love it!
I love BBQ season and never done asparagus on the barbecue before, I’ll definitely be having a go at that next time!
I love asparagus on the grill, too. You should try it out!
I would so much love to have a garden and make BBQs every weekend. Unfortunately I live in a flat without a balcony, and my only closeup to a real BBQ is the electric grill, but it doesn’t compare.

Maybe on one of these amazing travels you go on you will have access to a grill! 🙂
We use our grill constantly in the summer time. It’s a fabulous way to bring friends and neighbors together for impromptu get togethers. Love the recipe ideas!
Thanks, Carol! We are the same way!
Your post has made me so hungry! Fab recipe ideas – will try some over here in the UK as soon as the sun decides to come out!
Glad you liked it, Natalia!
I’m going to bookmark this page! We don’t grill very often, but I still would love to try something new every time we do 🙂
This may change how often you grill, Leelo! 🙂
This is PERFECT! I finally got that grill I mentioned and now I have my meals all planned out 🙂
Yeah! I am so excited for your new grill! Yes, get grilling!
This is certainly the time of year for it – I’m a hot dog and hamburger girl myself 🙂
Andrea, nothing is wrong with a good old-fashioned hot dog and hamburger! 🙂
I love BBQ anything : ) I’ll have to save this site to visit for dinner ideas later! thanks!

I do too, Eloise! Hope it can help you for later!
In the UK it is not warm enough for a BBQ yet but I can’t wait for when the weather gets warmer and I can have some veggie burgers on the grill!
Ooh, I may have to get a recipe of veggie burgers for you, Ana!
All of these dishes make my barbecues seem so boring. I need to make some fun kabobs or a new salad next time!
Yes, add one of these fun items to your next BBQ, Liz!
We just bought a new BBQ so have been using it for almost ever meal. I can’t wait to give all of these yummy recipes a try over the course of the summer.
I get that, Bella! I love grilled food every day of the week!
Omg so much yummy food!!!! Lots of foodie inspiration that’s for sure. Now I’m craving a bbq
Thanks Courtneylynne! Hope your next BBQ is as fabulous as you are!
This is a great guide! We love to Barbecue! Now that it is getting warmer we pretty much grill every weekend!
This is certainly the time of year for grilling! Yeah! Today starts a new month! How the time flies! Wow! Wish you an amazing new month and a great day! Kisses :-*
My family always love doing backyard barbecue, so glad you shared this and this one is awesome. I love those idea and tips.
So happy you like them Nicole. We’ll keep adding to our list for you!
GREAT collection of recipes. We do SOOO much grilling in the summer I bet we could put all of these to use. Def. pinning for later!
Thanks for pinning Roxy, it’s a great way to share!
Oh yeah it is that time again. I will probably be the only person who is not going to be outside very often….
Hope you can make it happen more often than you think Mardene!
Everything looks so delicious! I think I might grill for my family next weekend and would love to try the Chicken with Peach Chutney Glaze and Mojo Slaw!!
Both great choices, thanks and have a fabulous time!
Yes, I can’t wait for summer BBQ! Thanks for sharing the recipe ideas. They all look so delicious! For me, we always have grilled butter sweet corn with grilled chicken, hahaha xo

Sounds absolutely divine Sharon, thank you!
I love seafood on the grill. This post has me excited about the summer!
There is nothing more fun than a cookout! All the food looks wonderful! I love to try new recipes, so your page will come in handy!
Everything looks so delicious! I can’t wait for summer BBQ!
You sure got us covered girl !! But you’re salads are calling my name 🙂 I already tried two of your barbecue recipes that are safely pinned 🙂
I just can’t read these delicious posts of yours 😀 I so want to start grilling but there’s no place for it, That’s the downside of living a city centre. Just heard that it might not be allowed to bbq in your own garden if you have neighbours just beside you in Finland, because some people have been complaining the smell – I do hope this is a joke!
I hope that is a joke too! Can you BBQ in your public parks there? Otherwise you need to make friends with some people in the country! 🙂
Time to BBQ! We are on it today actually! I might use the recipes to make the BBQ even more perfect 🙂 your pictures are stunning again, so tasty it looks!
I love BBQ! I have a yard, if only I also had the time to do that often. But next time, I will definitely try some of your recipes. All great ideas, very inspiring! I will start with that GRILLED CHICKEN WITH PEACH CHUTNEY GLAZE! Thank you for sharing so many great recipes. 🙂
