Summertime is nice and hot, but your kitchen doesn’t have to be!
In the summer, your home is supposed to be a cool place for you, your family, and your friends to relax. It's already hot outside, and you don't want to turn on the oven to make a dinner dish served with sweat. Luckily, you won't have to heat up your kitchen when outdoor grilling!
When it comes to grilling, the health-conscious choice is clear: gas grills are better than charcoal. Why? Well, charcoal grills release more carbon and can potentially add chemical compounds to your food if it gets overly "charred." While you'd have to eat a lot of char-grilled foods to see any adverse effects, it's best to prioritize using gas whenever possible.
But don't just take our word for it. During a BBQ with my health-conscious friends, I used a gas grill instead of charcoal. The feedback about the food was astonishing. They all agreed that the food tasted cleaner and fresher. One friend even mentioned that they didn't feel heavy after eating, which they typically experienced after BBQs. I realized that choosing the right grill can greatly impact the overall experience.
So, if you're a health enthusiast looking for a healthier grilling option, switch to gas and taste the difference.

This BBQ Brisket recipe made with our special honey BBQ sauce is a hearty way to feed weekend guests. When simmered with indirect heat, the brisket is moist and tender. Great for sandwiches.

Every grilled meal needs a grilled appetizer and side
Grilled Artichokes Served with Thai Honey Vinaigrette
The grill doesn't just have to be reserved for meat. Artichokes are a delicacy that you definitely shouldn’t pass up. They dazzle your guests. Our Grilled Artichokes with Thai Honey Vinaigrette take a little bit of prep work to get ready, but they’re delicious and very well worth the time. Sprinkle some goat cheese on top to add your own touch - it tastes delicious with the soy sauce in the vinaigrette.
Grilled Summer Vegetables with Honey Balsamic Dressing
Grilled Summer Vegetables are healthy and quick to prepare, and with the summer harvest in full swing, you have many options to choose from. This dish’s beauty is that you can’t mess it up! Our recipe is made with bell peppers, squash, zucchini, green beans, mushrooms, and red onion. Feel free to add your own favorite veggies as well, like juicy tomatoes! Our guests go crazy over thick-cut onions on the grill. It reminds them of onion rings without any of the unhealthy parts.
Grilled Corn on the Cob with Husks
These grilled corn on the cobs are an easy dish that help take the stress out of planning get-togethers. Just toss them on the grill and go! They serve as the perfect combination with any main course you can think of. If you would like, feel free to add butter, salt, and pepper on top! Want to turn up the heat a notch? Try sprinkling some cayenne pepper on top.
Grilling Fruit for a Sweet, Summery Spin
Have you ever tried grilled fruit? The sweet fruit taste combines perfectly with the grilled flavor for an amazing combination you never would've thought to work together. Keep the grill on during dinner, and let all the previous grill remnants burn off. When ready, slice up fresh-cut pineapple in thick slices, peaches, or plums, remove the pit, and place the flesh on the grill - use all of them to create your own grilled fruit salad! Get a good char, flip, and drizzle with honey.
Honey Grilled Peaches
Honey Grilled Peaches are our favorite. Caramelized on the grill with our Eastern Shore Honey, the flavors come together and offer a wonderful refreshment to your palette. Brown sugar is normally used for grilled fruits, but we think that honey works so much better. Serve with your favorite ice cream or sorbet.
