A 60+ Recipe Salute to Summer Grilling
When the sun is shining, we can't help but spend most of our time hovering over our grills. After all, everything from burgers to pizza to skewers and even sweet things can be (and should be) made in this manner. Cooking food over the coals seems to kiss it with a fire-roasted flavor that pairs perfectly with a cold, crisp beer and the Summer heat.
