Cajun Butter Garlic Grilled Shrimp with Cilantro Lime Avocado Sauce
“I often make blackened cajun seasoned shrimp in a cast iron pan and grilling it is even better! This recipe is so easy to make! The shrimp is seasoned with a homemade cajun seasoning before it is grilled on the barbecue! You really can’t go wrong with the shrimp in a lemon garlic-butter sauce and this grilled shrimp is brushed with one after grilling!” - Kevin
Baked Chicken Fajitas
“So easy and delicious, too! Serve with lime wedges and sour cream for an extra treat. Make a sopapilla cheesecake for dessert.” - Tamara
Pineapple and Veggie Pita Bread Pizza
“This pizza variation could not be easier. I have found the key to vegan pizza is loads of fresh toppings and contrasting flavors. In this pineapple veggie pizza on pita bread, the sweet fruit mingles with a myriad of fresh vegetables—the more the better.” - Vicki
Eggplant Rollatini
“Thanks for the tasty recipe - it was wonderful! I made this last night with rice and salad. I added some basil & parsley along with the oregano and really enjoyed it! It's a keeper!” - Chris
Grilled Rosemary Lemon Chicken Breasts

Grilled Salmon, The House Special
“This recipe has long been a family fave. Very easy, with simple ingredients that you can almost always find in the house. Delicious served with my Chilled Asian Cucumber Salad.” - Greg
Sticky Sesame Cauliflower
“Sticky Sesame Cauliflower is a sticky glaze-coated cauliflower that is bursting with flavor. This Korean fried cauliflower makes a great dinner or appetizer.” - Nicole
Eileen's Juicy Burgers
“Thanks to the milk and hot water, these are some juicy burgers. Packed with seasonings, these will be delicious at your next cookout. Mustard is an unusual ingredient to add to the actual burger but we loved it. It gave a little zing to the meat. Make sure to chill the mixture for over 3 hours. It really helps the burgers hold their shape. We've made them on a gas grill and indoor grill - both were delicious!” - Kitchen Crew
Eggplant Rice Dressing
“Eggplant Rice dressing is a side dish staple at my house in Southern Louisiana. Adding eggplant to simple rice dressing kicks it up a notch plus it adds flavor and moisture to the dish. It is also a great way to hide veggies, my youngest son is super picky and he always eats several servings of this.” - Debbie
Country Sausage Stuffed Zucchini Squash
“We were very impressed by this zucchini recipe. It's a great way to use the extra bits of ingredients you may have in the fridge. Really, this could be served for any meal. It was like a breakfast casserole in a zucchini boat. If you like a little extra kick to your meals, use hot sausage. Looking forward to making this easy recipe again.” - Kitchen Crew
Grilled Fish Tacos With Chipotle Crema
“Ok. Oh my!!! Soooo tasty! I ended up BBQing salmon out on the grill for these. A new family favorite, I also added guacamole to layer inside each taco.” - Rachael
Carrot Noodle Stir Fry
“This recipe combines two of my obsessions: spiralizing vegetables and stir frying! I love spiralizing because it forces me and family to eat more vegetables, and I love stir frying because it’s super-easy and quick, and it only requires one pot or wok so there are fewer dishes for my husband to clean up after dinner! “ - Shikha
Grilled Jerk Chicken With Mango Salsa
“This was delicious. We had it with a Mango quinoa salad. The salsa recipe is so good we even had it with tortilla chips. We will definitely make this again.” - Heather
Balsamic Grilled Vegetables
“Veggies marinated in balsamic vinegar and soy sauce and cooked in a grill basket until smokey, slightly charred, and tender-crisp. A healthy and tasty side dish! Try it with whatever veggies you prefer - asparagus, eggplant, green beans, etc!” - Susan
Turkey Burgers With Rosemary "Aioli"
“These were AWESOME, I love Aioli I used garlic, lime and jalapeno in my aioli since my hubby doesn't care for the taste of rosemary.” - Josie
Susan's Tomato Basil Chicken Pasta Salad
“Most pasta salads are a side dish but this salad is hearty enough for a meal thanks to the chopped chicken. It's filled with Mediterannean flavors like olives, tomatoes, and artichoke hearts. There's no mayonnaise in this pasta salad recipe. It's dressed with fresh pesto a zesty Caesar dressing. Serve with an extra sprinkle of fresh chopped basil and grated Romano cheese.” - Kitchen Crew
