Delicious Summer BBQ Recipes

Grilled Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken

Marinate chicken breasts in teriyaki sauce, garlic, and a splash of pineapple juice. Grill and top with fresh grilled pineapple slices – sweet, smoky, and perfect with rice or a salad.

Corn & Avocado Summer Salad

Toss grilled corn, cherry tomatoes, avocado, red onion, lime juice, and a pinch of chili powder together for a refreshing, no-fuss side dish that screams summer.

Honey Lime Grilled Shrimp Skewers

Marinate shrimp in olive oil, honey, lime juice, garlic, and a little chili powder. Skewer and grill for 2-3 minutes per side. Fresh, light, and perfect with a summer salad or rice.

Grilled Peach & Burrata Salad

Slice fresh peaches and grill them for 1-2 minutes to bring out their sweetness. Serve over arugula with burrata cheese, a drizzle of balsamic glaze, and toasted almonds for a fresh summer side.

Soak up every bit of summer,
TURN YOUR HOME INTO THE BEST PART OF SUMMER WITH THESE FUN, EASY ACTIVITIES.

Backyard Movie Night

Hang a white sheet, grab a projector, and throw some blankets and pillows on the lawn. Don’t forget popcorn and
bug spray!

DIY Backyard Water Park

Stay cool, have a blast, and skip the pricey water park! Set up sprinklers, water balloons, and a kiddie pool or slip-and-slide for an affordable backyard splash zone. Add some music and popsicles, and you’ve got instant summer fun for all ages without breaking the bank.

Indoor Scavenger Hunt

Beat the heat with an indoor scavenger hunt! Create a simple list of household items—like something soft, something red, a wooden spoon, or a book with animals and challenge kids (or adults!) to find them all. It’s a fun, screen-free way to stay cool and entertained inside.

S’mores Station

Too hot for a campfire? No problem! Set up a s’mores station in your kitchen with graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows. Use the microwave, oven, or a tabletop s’mores maker to get that gooey goodness. It’s a fun, hands-on treat that brings all the cozy vibes—without stepping into the heat.
