In the summer, we hang outside until bedtime… or until the mosquitos attack! That means cooking on the grill most nights, which I love. We cook almost everything on the grill. When I was growing up, we only grilled the proteins, but now we grill everything, including fruit. In fact, grilled fruit is one of my favorite additions to the proteins we make. Peaches, plums and pineapples are delicious served with pork, chicken, shrimp and even a juicy steak. We\u2019ve tried all kind of fruits and vegetables such as eggplant, cherry tomatoes, beets, cabbage, onions, pears, figs, all the squashes, watermelon, carrots, asparagus, green beans potatoes, corn and even romaine lettuce.\"\" The high, dry heat of the grill caramelizes their sugars, intensifying the sweetness, resulting in a smokey caramelized flavor. We’ve never grilled artichokes, so we\u2019re eager to try a new recipe that we found in the DinnerTime Recipe Box for grilled artichokes.<\/p>\n

My family has embraced grilling fruits and veggies with enthusiasm. They want to try everything on the grill and it\u2019s been a lot of fun to experiment together. There are several ways to cook on the grill, so we\u2019ve been sampling them all. I want our kids to feel confident trying new foods and new-to-us cooking techniques.<\/p>\n
