Okay, so summer is fast approaching. We love to cook on the grill, but I have run out of ideas this year. I would love it if you could share some of your favorite grilling recipes with me.

I love Allrecipes.com, but I'm looking for personal favorites.

Come on, let's get spring fever going here and share some absolute faves!

Zucchini spears! My uncle grew zucchini one summer and we had to figure out what to do with it all. My favorite was slicing it into spears, drizzling a little olive oil on with a touch of salt and pepper and throwing it on the grill.

Lamb kabobs are also yummy. I get this lamb at trader joe's that comes already marinated in this pepper burgundy sauce and chopped. All you have to do is stick it on the skewers with some veggies and its ready to go.

Salmon.. marinate in Italian dressing for about 15 minutes. Place on grill in foil add lemon juice and there you have it.:) You can also grill green pepper, onion and portabello in foil as a side dish.:)

Mm! Kit you reminded me of one of my favorite recipes my brother does! Well, he won't share the entire thing actually. But he mixes soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and different spices, puts the salmon into foil pouches with the marinade and then bbqs it. I'm not sure what all the spices are though or if there's anything else, like maybe lemon or anything else, that he puts in

I don't eat fish, but hubby does. I'll have to save this one especially for a special occasion for him. He would LOVE it! Oh, now I can't wait for a special occasion to surprise him!

Have you ever grilled pineapple? OMG, it's to die for!

So here's what sounds absolutely appealing to me. Kabobs with beef and Chicken, peppers, onions, carrots, potatoes. And THEN paired with an oriental style salad made with still dried ramen noodles crunched up in there, and some delicious pasta salad that my mom makes. I could live off that for at least a week.

Mix just a teensy amount of dijon mustard on the salmon. For something milder mix a bit of honey and french dressing to top the salmon. Good eating! :D

Hubby puts lemon and dill on his salmon with the skin still on.

I don't like eating fish. Bad experiences. My dad never cooked it right and always made me eat it. Now I just can't do it. Nor can I muster up the will to try to eat any seafood. I can't stand the smell. Bleck.

When we cook shrimp (I hate shrimp)... I open every window in the house , even in the wintertime. Hate that smell. :eek:

It makes everything worse when the food smell that you can't stand stick to you. I couldn't work at a fish market or a seafood restaurant. I'd go nuts. It's bad enough leaving work smelling like coffee. It smells good to other people, but when it's on me it smells skunky. :(

Nothing llike the smell of grilled onions to make you want to shower with
Perfume:D

Speaking of icky smells... we give out samples at work. And my co-workers come up with some of the yummiest canned tuna recipes. But the smell! It's a wonder any of us can even bear to eat anything after they smell up the kitchen with it.

That grilled pineapple sound yummy j! I'll have to try that next time we get out the bbq!

My favorite shrimp recipe is how my aunt does it, with chili, lime, and tequilla. I keep trying to copy it but mine just never comes out quite as good as hers.

I'm glad I'm not alone in that.

The only seafood I'll eat is tuna, and the occasional shrimp. Love tuna.

I can't even do tuna. No way. None of it. I tried shrimp, it smells and it has a funny texture. Like it popped in my mouth every time I bit down. No thanks.
