Summer. Grilling. They go together pretty well, don't you think? Just like peas and carrots, or Johnny and June, you can't have one without the other. Our summer menu is full of grilled meats and tasty barbecued dishes. I take full advantage of the beautiful summer weather and cook outside on the grill almost every night. I've grilled probably a million burgers, a variety of pizzas, meatballs with marinara sauce, many vegetables, and even meatloaf! We grill so much we have his and hers grills.
With a great grilled dish, you need the perfect side dish. Creamy and cool coleslaw. Sweet macaroni salad. Grandma's potato salad. Fresh garden green beans. Sweet corn from the backyard sweet corn patch. These are just a few of our favorites.
Another favorite of mine is this super easy cheesy rice. It is simple to make and takes only a few ingredients that you probably have in your pantry or fridge right now. The cheesy flavor goes well with the grilled and barbecued flavors. And since this is cooked in the oven, you can make it year round, making it a great side for just about anything you cook!
