culinary cravings: barbeque menu

May. 24th | Posted by 0 comments

we couldn’t exactly suggest the idea of a barbeque day without actually giving you ideas on what to eat, right? that would be oh-so rude. so today, we’re completing the preparations and helping you decide what to put on the barbie.

grilled guacomole / bruschetta with gorgonzola and grilled pears

grilled corn salad / balsamic grilled vegetables

how could we ignore the idea of grilled pizzas? super easy and definitely a crowd pleaser. plus, grilling veggies makes them extra delicious. and don’t forget to treat your guests with some ice cream at the end of the meal, it’s the perfect end to a barbeque.

fig, prosciutto, and goat cheese pizza / rosemary chicken kebabs

grilled peaches with bourbon vanilla whipped creamlime coconut sorbet
