Cookout Recipes (Most Popular)
This is a meal in a foil bag, prepared on the grill and you can mix and match vegetables to your liking. I have even thrown cucumbers in.
I got this from my friend, Denise. A tasty twist on a traditional burger:)
It's technically a cookie recipe but when you press it into a 13x9 pan it makes a wonderful cake-like brownie:)
I can't stand mayo or any version of it, so I decided to make a pasta salad that was healthy and tasty too.
This is great to marinate for 10 minutes than put on the bbq.
I cook them on the gril individually maybe 2 minutes each.
Nice to cut up and put in a salad for kick or to eat along with a piece of Salmon
There are a few carbs in this recipie trying to figure out how to sweeten up the cranberries without using the sugar.....will work on this one. But the sauce is great for chicken or fish. Really good with a wilted spinich salad, add some dried cranberries and blue cheese...Mmmmmm
Satisfy that craving for a cheeseburger without the carbs! This salad is really filling and flavorful.
These are a take on my mom's baked beans. She makes amazing baked beans but doesn't even like them, but they're still amazing. These beans are great for a cook-out, picnic, pot-luck or a side dish.
They aren't particularly 'light' in comparison to some other baked bean recipes out there so they are to be enjoyed in moderation. This side dish is still low-fat and within a reasonable calorie range with a nice punch of fiber.
This doesn't taste like Burger King's rodeo burger, but it certainly is inspired by it. I love cheese and BBQ sauce on beef, chicken and pretty much anything. But as I was trying eat healthier I had to find new ways to incorporate this. This is a great main dish for picky eaters as there aren't any veggies in it, but you can easily add some diced tomatoes, chopped onions to it to add some more nutrients and flavor. The recipe despite being lengthy is actually very simple and can be done in 45 minutes total time. I was just very detailed.
This pairs great with a steamed vegetable like green beans, broccoli, peas, asparagus and/corn. I also serve it with light garlic bread.
Also goes well on a bun for a hearty sandwich.
I came up with this recipe while traveling for work. I try to eat well while on the road but the kitchens available make cooking a bit of a challenge. This was super easy to make with limited cooking tools and only took 15 minutes total to make. I went with turkey tenderloin (breast) over chicken because it was cheaper but you could go either way. Take out the meat all together and it still is a flavorful vegetarian meal or side dish.
Mushrooms are also a great addition to this dish and/or diced onions (carmelized).
This makes a massive batch of pulled pork that is great for cook-outs, pot-lucks, parties for a sizable group or for lunches and dinners with plenty of extra to freeze and reheat.
A great way to add vegetables to a meal for picky eaters. We have this at every thanksgiving and when we camp out. You can add crushed crackers to the top or french's crispy onions to make it a bit more like green been casserole (not included in the nutritional info provided).
High protein, filling and full of flavor, this salad can be eaten as a side dish or as a whole meal. Omit the feta and it's perfect for our Vegan friends!
If you like cilantro, you will love this creamy, tangy smoke infused dip. It is great with raw veggies (especially red bell peppers/carrots/celery) or toasted pita bread. Sometimes I even dilute it a bit with canola (or other light) oil on my cucumber and tomato salad. It can be used instead of plain mayo on sandwiches, or drizzled over seared salmon.
Low Carb & deliciously satisfying! Substitute beef with 2 lbs ground turkey for lower fat and it's still got unbeatable flavor. Add shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and hot sauce to taste.
