We don’t get a lot of intense summer heat here this far north in Montana. But there does come a time every year around the beginning of July where I just don’t want to turn the stove on anymore. This usually lasts 4-6 weeks maximum, and we grill pretty much every single meal! So I thought it might be nice this year to put together some of our all time favorites. You’ll find lots of dinner recipes ranging from salads to burgers. There’s also some easy recipes great for entertaining as well as weekend bbq’s. There’s also some appetizers, salsa, and even 1 dessert option. And to wrap it all up, you’ll find my meal prepping on the grill inspiration at the very bottom. Like I said, we take our grilling very seriously in this house, even right down to meal prep! And if you’re like us and will even fire up the grill when it’s -20ºF, these recipes will inspire you year round. Although I do draw the line at -20ºF because one year I grilled at -40ºF, and I thought the bbq nobs were going to snap off in the cold!
Now let’s kick this off with some of our favorite burgers!
