Main Dish Recipe ideas 

Grilled T-Bone SteakA grilled t-bone steak on a white plate with a round of blue-cheese butter melting on top. A fork and a steak knife sit in front and grilled asparagus is on the plate next to the steak.

There's nothing like firing up your grill and throwing on some juicy thick T-bone steaks. Topped with blue cheese butter, this cut of beef is a mouthwatering plate of deliciousness. It’s time to sit back on your shaded deck, relax and enjoy a delectable steak this evening. In my opinion, this is the true essence of Spring and Summer!

Juicy and Tender Turkey BurgersA turkey burger sitting on a wooden tray. Layered with cheese, tomato, avocado and arugula.

These Grilled Turkey Burgers are some of the juiciest and tastiest you’ll find anywhere. Onion, garlic, spices, and herbs permeate the meat to enhance the turkey’s overall flavor. I’ve also added Rotel to the recipe which gives it a subtle little kick. If you were like me and wrote off turkey burgers for good, please give these a try. They will not disappoint. Throw them on the grill for a Memorial Day celebration with friends and family. 

Grilled Beef Satay with Spicy Peanut Dipping SauceA closeup photo of a bowl of peanut sauce with a flank steak skewer sitting on the bowl.

Add some spice to your life by trying this Grilled Beef Satay with Spicy Peanut Dipping Sauce. There’s a kick in both the marinade and the peanut sauce. The sauce, although it brings a little heat, adds a creamy, cooling influence to the dish. If you don’t like too much heat, you can taper down the hot chili sauce and the crushed red peppers. This is a great option for a backyard cookout and is easy for a large group because these can be made ahead of time and thrown on the grill whenever ready to serve. 

Slow Cooker Pulled Pork SandwichesA closeup shot of a pulled pork sandwich with homemade coleslaw and pickled onions.

This Boston Butt Pork Roast is cooked low and slow in a crockpot for 8-10 hours for this Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Recipe. You will be in awe at how tender, juicy and flavorful this cut of meat comes out. Add homemade coleslaw with pickled red onions and you have the perfect sandwich to bring to any picnic. 

Bison Burgers with Peppedew SauceBison burger with peppadew jam and an over-easy egg on a wooden board with fries next to it

Sweet and Spicy Peppadew Jam adds a nice kick to these lean Bison Burgers. Top them with a sunny-side-up egg and you have one of the best burgers in town. Your taste buds will thank you along with all the people celebrating the Fourth of July holiday with you. 

Ham and Cheese Crescent RollsA platter of baked ham and cheese crescent rolls with an orange and striped dish towel beside it.

Ham and Cheese Crescent Rolls that are soft and fluffy will win the day at any graduation party this season. These homemade rolls are made from scratch and wrapped around black forest ham and Swiss cheese. I guarantee you’ll end up with an empty platter once you set them out for guests. The buttery go-to appetizers are melt-in-your-mouth delicious. They can be made ahead and served at room temperature. 

The Best Sides to Serve at any BBQ or Cookout

Mediterranean Pasta SaladA pasta salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, red onions in a white dish with a fork and knife next to it. A small red plate sits in the corner with a slice of grilled bread.

A quick pasta salad that brings all the flavors of the Mediterranean to you in one easy dish. Along with farfalle pasta, texture is created by adding kalamata olives, grape tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta cheese, and my favorite, the crunch of pine nuts. Topping the salad is a lovely Greek Vinaigrette that dramatically influences all the other ingredients. If you are looking for a great salad for your next BBQ, this is your go-to recipe.

Cheesy Scalloped PotatoesBaked scalloped potatoes in a casserole dish. A spoonful is removed from the pan.

Tender sliced potatoes swim in a luscious cream sauce that is flavored with garlic, onions, and thyme. These homemade Scalloped Potatoes have layers of melty sharp cheddar cheese that are absolutely divine. Comforting is its best characterization. The recipe is really simple and will be the hit of any backyard party you're planning. 

Smoky Grilled Sweet Potatoes with Spicy Tomato AioliGrilled sweet potato rounds sit on a white platter with a bowl of dipping sauce next to them.

Charred to perfection, these smoky grilled sweet potatoes become the ultimate summertime side dish. Dusted with a simple coating of smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper heightens the sweetness of the potato and makes for a flavorsome orange “sugar” spud. The highlight of this dish is found in the Roasted Tomato & Garlic Aioli sauce.

Prosciutto Wrapped AsparagusAsparagus spears wrapped in prosciutto with lemon wedges on a baking sheet.

If you are looking for a non-traditional side dish or appetizer to compliment any cookout gathering, prosciutto-wrapped asparagus is a great option. This is a super easy, make-ahead dish to go alongside salmon, chicken, steaks, or pretty much any entree you’re serving. And of course, the prosciutto is what literally holds the dish altogether.

Hasselback Potato RingA hasselback potato ring in a cast iron skillet garnished with three dollops of sour cream and chopped chives. A colorful napkin sits beside the skillet. A spoonful has been taken out and the spoon with sour cream is still in the skillet.

This buttery-cheesy Hasselback potato recipe ring is full of herbs, onions, and garlic and it’s brimming with flavor. An abundance of butter and melting cheese seep down into the grooves for an incredibly delicious side dish to any meal. The slices of potatoes are arranged as a ring in a cast-iron skillet and then baked in the oven or on the rill until they are superbly tender.

Watermelon Arugula Salad with FetaA white serving bowl with watermelon arugula salad. Feta cheese and pickled onion are in the salad as well. It's drizzled with poppyseed dressing. Mint, a bottle of dressing and pickled onions sit next to the bowl.

Watermelon Arugula Salad with Feta is a great summertime choice that is quick and easy to throw together. A refreshing side dish with a variety of flavors that enhance the overall taste. The tanginess of feta cheese and the sweet-piquant taste of the pickled red onions pair perfectly with the watermelon, arugula, and mint. To top it all off, drizzle a simple white balsamic vinegar and poppyseed dressing.

Potatoes and Onions on the GrillGrilled potatoes and onions with dollops of sour dream and garnished with parsley sitting in a blue bowl with a blue striped napkin sitting beside it.

Oh, the taste of summertime – Potatoes and Onions on the Grill wrapped up nice and neat in a “throw-away” foil packet, making clean-up a cinch. This no-fuss side dish is seriously one of the best recipes for a cookout. Flavored with garlic and fresh rosemary, these enticing spuds are slightly charred which delivers a smoky characteristic throughout. 

Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries with Dipping SaucesA platter of baked sweet potato fries with 3 bowls of dipping sauce sits next to them.

Appetizers to make for any Grilling Event

Cheesy Spinach Artichoke DipBaked Spinach Artichoke Dip in a casserole dish. A serving spoon sits in the dish.

No backyard bbq is complete without a spinach artichoke dip recipe. And I've got the perfect one for just that. A golden-baked dip that is abounding in flavor and overflowing in gooey goodness. Loaded with goat cheese, fresh mozzarella, and parmesan, this dip will prove to be the life of your party or get-together. And of course, the spinach and artichokes give it texture and depth of character. It’ll have your guests begging for more. 

Baked or Grilled Jalapeño PoppersA closeup shot of cooked Cheese Stuffed Jalapeños on a wire sitting on a cookie sheet with parchment paper. A striped napkin sits next to it.

Baked Jalapeno Poppers know how to bring some heat to a party. These bad boys are overstuffed with cheese and wrapped with thick center-cut bacon to make an indulgent appetizer for any get-together. This recipe makes 24 extra-large poppers. But still, that might not be enough for your ravenous guests. A warning Label is attached: Extremely Addictive.

Parmesan Chicken BitesA white platter holds baked crispy chicken bites that have shredded parmesan and chopped parsley sprinkled on them. A bowl of Ranch dressing sits in the middle.

Plump and juicy chicken bites that are coated with crispy panko breadcrumbs. These small nuggets marinate overnight in a seasoned buttermilk brine that enhances the flavors and makes them beyond tender. There’s no way you’ll be able to eat just one of these Crispy Baked Parmesan Chicken Bites.

Bacon-Wrapped BreadsticksBacon Wrapped Breadsticks on a white plate with a white bowl of marinara sauce beside them.

Crispy. Chewy. Cheesy. Oh, and BACON! Of course bacon. An everyday, ordinary breadstick is transformed into an extraordinary indulgent appetizer. When these twisted Cheesy Breadsticks Wrapped in Bacon are dunked in your favorite marinara sauce, they’re not only brought to the party, they then become the party.

Bourbon Candied BaconA jar of Bourbon Candied Bacon with bourbon in the background and honey beside the jar. There's a label with the words Bourbon Candied Bacon on it.

Crispy thick-cut bacon!! The kind, while cooking, fills your home with an enticing aroma that can only be satisfied by a piece of that salty goodness landing on your tongue.  What could possibly be better? Maybe … a strip smothered with brown sugar, honey, and bourbon. Candied to a perfect gooeyness yet still keeping the crunchy crackle of the bacon itself. 

Feta and Spinach Puff Pastry AppetizersThree spinach stuffed puff pastry appetizers with more appetizers in a muffin tin in the background.

These Feta and Spinach Puff Pastry Appetizers are loaded with savory flavors of garlic, green onions, artichokes, and salty cheeses. It is a buttery puff of goodness that just about melts in your mouth. Simple make-ahead finger food that your guests will devour.

Sweets and Desserts for the Ultimate BBQ

Tart Cherry CheesecakeA piece of cherry cheesecake on a white plate with a fork. A cheesecake sits in the background on a cake stand.

A ridiculously decadent dessert with a layer of whipped cream filling atop a smooth and creamy cheesecake. It’s crowned with a topping that’s bursting with tart cherries. All of this rests on a buttery graham cracker crust. This made-from-scratch cherry cheesecake is a pure delight for any guests you are serving. 

Chocolate Peanut Butter CupcakesA chocolate peanut butter cupcake in a blue liner sits on a mini cake stand with 3 other cupcakes blurred in the background.

The blending of a rich dark chocolate cake and the creamy deliciousness of peanut butter frosting makes for the most amazing Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes in the world. If you love chocolate and peanut butter (and who doesn’t), you’re gonna go bonkers over this outrageous sweet snack. There’s even a little peanut butter surprise tucked in the middle of this wonder.

Strawberry Lemon BarsOne strawberry lemon bar is stacked on top of two others ones. Each has powdered sugar sprinkled on of each and a little wedge of lemon. Lemon bars are in the background.

The classic lemon bars are elevated to a scrumptious new level with fresh strawberries swimming atop the lemon filling. The sweet but tart taste and added texture of the cooked strawberries enhance the citrusy layer of goodness. All of this rests on a light and buttery crust that serves as the base for a delicious summer dessert. I give you Strawberry Lemon Bars! If you loved these, try my Lavender Infused Lemon Bars

Puff Pastry Apple GaletteA close-upshot of a Caramel Apple Galette with a puff pastry crust in a cast iron pan. A blue striped napkin sits next to it. Three scoops of ice cream sit on the apples. A slice is taken out of it and the ice cream is melting into the pan.

The foundation of this Puff Pastry Apple Galette Recipe is the flaky, buttery puff pastry crust that is simply delectable. The sliced apples themselves sit in a sweet ground almond mixture. They are coated with an amaretto sauce and are baked to perfect tenderness.  The flavors of cinnamon, amaretto, and caramel highlight this gorgeous display of deliciousness. 

Layered Chocolate Raspberry CakeA piece of 4 layer chocolate raspberry cake sits on a white place. The cake sits in the background.

A deliciously rich and moist four-layered Chocolate Raspberry Cake is the perfect decadent dessert for any Summer gathering. Four layers of dark chocolate cake, creamy chocolate frosting, and a luscious raspberry filling. The entire cake is frosted with a silky ganache that envelops this gorgeous masterpiece. It is pure indulgence!

Last but not Least - Cocktails to Celebrate the Summer

Limoncello MargaritasAn overhead view of a glass of limoncello margarita cocktail sitting on a silver tray with black and white napkins. Another margarita glass sits next to it. Both have black and white striped straws sticking up. Lemons and fresh mint sit next to the glasses.

This Margarita Cocktail Recipe is a citrusy classic that adds a new refreshing twist with homemade limoncello liqueur. The perfect summertime, “relax-on-your deck with friends” kinda drink. The core of this sweet-tart limoncello libation is frozen limeade, freshly squeezed lemons, orange liqueur, and of course, the thing that makes a margarita, the beloved tequila.

Berry Infused MojitoA front view of 2 berry infused mojito glasses with fresh blackberries and raspberries on a wooden tray.

This Mojito Cocktail Recipe is a wonderful summertime libation that highlights a raspberry and blackberry-infused white rum. This delightful cocktail hints at a tartness of fresh lime juice and muddled mint leaves. An impressive but simple mixed drink displaying layers of refreshment as you laugh and enjoy friends and family while grilling out.

Thyme Infused Grapefruit Vodka CocktailA front view of four glasses of fresh grapefruit cocktail. Fresh thyme sprigs sit next to one glass. There are garnishments of a cherry and slice of grapefruit sitting on the glass. A half grapefruit is in the background.

Happy Hour just got “happier” with this Thyme Infused Grapefruit Vodka Cocktail. Splash in some freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, good vodka, and Campari and you have the making of a relaxing evening sipping a refreshing libation. The thyme infusion is found in the simple syrup which kisses this drink with a tinge of sweetness. 

Moscow Mule with a Cucumber TwistA cucumber Moscow Mule in a copper mug with three more mugs in the background. A copper straw is sticking out of all three cocktails and cucumber slices as a garnishment.

A Moscow Mule Drink is the quintessential summertime cocktail. This recipe takes the classic Mule and gives it a twist with the taste of cucumber. Cold, refreshing, and light, this is the perfect happy hour drink for any time. Ginger beer brings the taste of freshly squeezed ginger along with a sweet spiciness to your party.  And of course, the tart lime juice enhances everything about this drink. It’s time to slow down, kick back and relax with a little bit of “happy.”

Coconut Tropical Rum CocktailTwo glasses of tropical cocktails garnished with pineapple, kiwi and mango sit on a white serving tray. Fresh fruit sit next to the glasses.

This Tropical Cocktail will transport you to a sandy beach soaking up the sun somewhere in the Caribbean. Coconut rum and coconut simple syrup add a sweet, smooth, and creamy coconut taste to this summer drink. Muddled mango, kiwi, and pineapple deliver fresh delight with texture and taste. Kick off your shoes, pull up an Adirondack chair, and relax with this refreshing ray of sunshine in a glass.       

Tequila Sunrise MimosaThree tequila sunrise mimosa cocktails with cocktail pics of cherries and orange slices sitting on a wooden board.

A classic cocktail is elevated to new heights with this Tequila Sunrise Prosecco Mimosa recipe. This, at present, is my all-time favorite alcoholic drink. Dazzling with beauty and bursting with citrusy, bubbly effects, this cocktail will be the hit of any upcoming cookout you are planning. 

Red Wine SangriaA photo from above of a pitcher of red wine sangria with chunks of fresh apples, oranges, lemons and limes. Two glasses filled with the sangria sit beside the pitcher. Chucks of the fresh fruit are scattered on the board below.

Dress up any happy hour party with this boozy sangria created from full-bodied red wine, and brandy, and highlighted with fresh-squeezed oranges, lemons, and limes. A splash of ginger ale tops the drink with a bit of effervescence. But the supreme delight of this pitcher cocktail is the wine-saturated fruit you get to eat when the glass is empty. This will definitely be a crowd-pleaser for your cookout pleasure. 

Enjoy this Summer season of warm weather, cool breezes, and lots of grilling with friends and family. Cookouts are meant to be resplendent with good food, laughter, and lots of love.
