'Tis the season to be grillin'! Finally the warm weather is upon us and with it, the scent of BBQ in the air. Whether you like to picnic in the park with your family or have a barbecue in your backyard with your friends, this collection of recipes is all you need!
One of the things I really love about spring and summer is eating outside. That's one of the reasons why when we were apartment hunting, one of the mandatory requirements was to have a nice big terrace or garden.
When the weather is nice (which unfortunately is not every day here in The Netherlands) we always bring our dinner outside in our terrace and we barbecue almost every weekend.
In this collection of recipes, I chose my favorite appetizers, side dishes, marinades, drinks and dessert to make your next outdoor meal the best one ever!
