This week is all about grilling and enjoying your family outdoors.

Grilling during the warm weather months makes it so easy to enjoy being outside and somehow makes dinner a lot more casual and fun.

What if you don't have a grill or the weather is rainy or cold?  Then what?  If you have an indoor grill, grilling machine, or a pan that fits over the burner for grilling, then you can still enjoy all of these recipes anytime of the year!

These recipes provide great week-night meals for your family but they are also perfect for entertaining or special occasions.  If you or anyone has a special dietary need, these recipes are also easily adapted to Vegan, Gluten-Free, or Vegetarian.  An example of changing out ingredients in a meal to make it Vegan is to use soy or another nut milk, vegan cheese, vegan sour cream, vegan mayonnaise, or vegan Parmesan cheese.

At the end of the week, or sometime during, please sound off about this week's menu.  Did you enjoy the websites?  How were the recipes?  Were they easy to follow and the ingredients easy to find?  Did you have quite a bit of the ingredients already on hand?

Did you find cooking different meals having similar items easier?  Were you able to prepare multiple meals at once?

What would you like to see on future menus?
