Starters on the Grill
Have some fun! Try grilling something you haven’t cooked that way before just because you can. Grill lettuce for an everyday dinner or try my Grilled Shrimp Martini with tequila for a memorable appetizer. You really can cook anything on the barbecue whether you’re at home, camping or away with family and friends.
Lighter Fare
For people with food restrictions many popular take out items are off limits like a Vietnamese Sub. I made one with my Vietnamese Lemongrass Chicken recipe and wrapped it in waxed paper with an elastic band for the full experience. I use the same marinade for chicken, pork or shrimp to make my Vietnamese Rice Noodle Bowl and keep chopped lemongrass in my freezer to do it all with ease.
Vegetables on the Grill
We all need to eat more vegetables so try grilling any vegetable you can think of. Skewer them, stack them, cut them up and use them on salads, pasta, pizza and sandwiches. Get yourself a few favourite marinades and repeat them year after year. I like to make more marinade than I need, sometimes doubling the recipe, so I have a few in the fridge ready to use any time.
Gluten Free Grilling Recipes with Meat
When I hear people say they’re bored of their gluten free diet I think, ‘make something different’. Pay attention to how you come up with meal ideas. Whether you plan in advance or get your inspiration from what you see at the store, the possibilities for gluten free meals is endless. With beef, pork, bison, lamb and more to choose from the possibilities are endless. Keep trying new recipes and you love add them to your list of favourites, whatever that looks like for you. Repeating recipes only in season guarantees variety to your dinner repertoire.
Chicken On The Grill
Some recipes I cook on the grill in summer and in the oven the rest of the year because I can’t wait a whole year to have chicken satay! My Achiote Chicken, a whole menu with saffron rice and balsamic marinated vegetables, is something I’ve been making for company for years and I can’t wait to make it again soon.
Fish and Seafood on the Grill
My husband loves to grill whole fish because it reminds him of catching and cooking fish when he was a kid. I often refer to fish as natures fast food because it cooks in no time and many recipes are simple yet delicious.
Grilling Recipes for Dessert
Try grilling fresh fruit just for fun and because it always looks beautiful.

Get The Tools
Reusable grilling sheets for the barbecue are a lifesaver for people paying attention to cross contamination. They can be cut to size and washed, taken with you anywhere and now there are grilling bags too.
- I have a reusable Cookina grilling sheet and now you can buy reusable grilling bags too!
- Single use grilling bags are a great option for travelling or visiting family and friends. The grilling bag with a window lets you see your food as it cooks.
