Happy Tuesday everyone. I know many parts of the country are experiencing extreme heat. It is that time of year when heating up the house with the stove or oven is not very appealing. I have had a lot of specific recipe requests lately which prompted me to gather some of my favorite grilling recipes together in a post. Here are my favorite grill recipes when it’s too hot to cook.
GRILL RECIPES WHEN IT’S TOO HOT TO COOK
GRILLED BRUSSEL SPROUTS WITH CHIPOTLE AIOLI
THIS GRILLED BRUSSEL SPROUTS WITH CHIPOTLE AIOLI is a summer staple at our house. This can be served as a side or an appetizer.
GRILLED ROMAINE WITH CORN AND AVOCADO
Our family loves grilled romaine. It is simple and takes minutes to prepare and grill This version GRILLED ROMAINE WITH CORN AND AVOCADO is a much-loved version!
SKIRT STEAK FAJITAS
Fajitas were a standby when we owned the lake house. THIS SKIRT STEAK FAJITA ADAPTATION FROM THE PIONEER WOMAN was always our go to:
GRILLED ROMAINE WITH CORN AND AVOCADO
Our family loves grilled romaine salad when it is too hot to cook. You can find this GRILLED ROMAINE WITH CORN AND AVOCADO as well as an entire grilled meal in my post Meal on the Grill When it’s too Hot to Cook.
GRILLED FLANK STEAK SALAD
I Haven’t made this GRILLED FLANK STEAK SALAD yet this season. I think I will make it tomorrow night.
SIMPLE GRILLED SHRIMP AND SCALLOP KEBABS
I keep a bag of TJ’s frozen scallops and shrimp on hand for this Simple Grilled Shrimp and Scallop Kebabs.
GRILLED ARTICHOKES WITH LEMON AIOLI
This grilled artichoke with lemon-mint aioli recipe is a simple summer favorite at our house. I sometimes serve it as an appetizer or as an accompaniment to grilled meat. Either way, it is delicious and fresh.
MICHAEL SIMON’S GRILLED SKIRT STEAK
The marinade for MICHAEL SIMON’S GRILLED SKIRT STEAK is our favorite marinade for grilled steak. I think you will like it too.
GRILLED VEGETABLES WITH ROMESCO SAUCE
The romesco sauce for this GRILLED VEGETABLES WITH ROMESCO SAUCE recipe can be made ahead. It keeps in the fridge for a few days. It is also good on fish and you can use the leftovers on crostini!
THREE SIMPLE PIZZAS YOU CAN MAKE TONIGHT
Before Steve got his pizza oven we used to make these simple pizzas with Naan bread. THESE THREE PIZZAS can be whipped up in an instant without heating up the kitchen, or working too hard.
I hope you enjoyed Grill Recipes when it is too hot to cook. Is the weather unbearably hot where you are? We have certainly not had a stellar summer here with the wind and fog. I am hoping August will be better. I will be back on Thursday with Jennifer for our monthly over 50 fashion edit. Our friend Tania from 50 isn’t old will be joining us. We will be talking about summer accessories. Be sure to join us.

Juliet saysThankfully it’s been a lot cooler in the Bay Area and I feel for those who are enduring extended and extreme heat. Heat or no we’re always up for grilling at Snowberry! I’m pinning and printing all these recipes to take us through the rest of summer. I’m not sure why I read blogs when I’m hungry … it’s complete torture 😉 xo

Perfect post. The weather this spring and summer has been among the hottest I can ever remember. Thanks for some cool cooking ideas. This inspires me to replace my teeny little Weber with a gas grill. Thank you.
