Summer is here, which means it’s time to take out the grill and bring out the marshmallows. Whether you are camping or just grilling in your backyard, it’s the perfect time to cook up some treats!
Recipes ideas
Here are a couple of perfect summer grilling ideas that you will enjoy!
Hot dog on a stick- this recipe comes to us from Delish. It uses hot dogs and refrigerated bread stick dough to create this easy to eat mealtime treat.
While you have the sticks and skewers out, how about whipping up an easy dessert? Use watermelon and pineapple cuts into chunks and alternate on the skewer. This recipe can also be combined with coconut milk to give it a pina coloda flair, but is great alone as well.
Have you thought about cooking pizza on the grill? Check out this recipe that uses naan bread to create grilled pizza in 10 minutes.
How about some banana s'mores? If you have bananas, chocolate chips and mini marshmallows, you’re all set to have s’more dessert. Wrap the ingredients in foil and heat until the marshmallows are toasty! This recipe adds a crunch with cinnamon toast crunch cereal.
