Adventures in Grilling

6 creative ideas that will impress everyone you know!

Brew Pub Pizza

Heat your grill to 400°F and grill your pizza for 18–22 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown.

Little Potato

Follow the directions on the package. Add two tablespoons oil, half the seasoning pack, and stir. Grill, uncovered, for 30 minutes,

Romaine

Prepare grill for medium heat. Cut romaine in half lengthwise. Generously brush with olive oil. Place cut side-down and grill, covered, 5 minutes.

Cookie Dough

Place a pizza stone on the grill and heat to 375°F. Add dough to the pizza stone. Close lid and grill over indirect heat for 12–15 minutes.

Pound Cake

If using frozen pound cake, thaw first. Slice into ½-inch slices and lightly coat both sides with cooking spray. Grill over medium heat, 1–2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned.

Macaroni & Cheese

Thaw in fridge. Heat gas grill on low. Leave on mac lid, place in center and close. Grill 30 minutes. Remove from grill, remove mac lid, and stir. Grill, lid closed, another 15 minutes.

The cool, the creamy, and the sweet element of surprise

They say it’s what's on the inside that matters most, but when it comes to ice cream sandwiches, what you put on the outside matters a whole lot. Case in point: DIY ice cream sandwiches.

S’moresgåsbord

Summer doesn’t officially start until you’ve made your first s’more. So grab your sticks and get to it.

Up the ante with a buffet of chocolatey, peanut buttery, and ooey-gooey options and you’ll likely find yourself wondering, “why didn’t I think of this sooner?!” The classic Hershey’s bar-graham-cracker-marshmallow combo will never grow old, but wait until you see peoples’ faces light up when you give them an array of options. There’s something about seeing Kit Kats, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Rolos, and Hershey’s specialty bars all laid out that makes everyone feel like a kid again. And really, isn’t that what summer’s all about?

Desserts That Define Summer

Crisps, crumbles, cobblers, and more — summertime is sweetest with produce packed treats! Get the download (and the definition!) of these classic desserts below.

Blackberry-Peach Crisp

Word: Crisp | [ krisp ]

A streusel-like mixture of flour, sugar, butter and (most importantly) oats or nuts. It’s the crisping of the oats that lends this dessert its name.

Peach and Raspberry Cobbler

Word: Cobbler | [ kob-ler ]

At its simplest, a cobbler is fruit baked beneath sweet biscuits. Sometimes they’re neat, sometimes they’re artful shapes of fruity-biscuity goodness. Regardless, they’re always delicious.

Strawberry Crumble with Basil

World: Crumble | [ kruhm-buhl ]

Nearly a crisp, but not — this treat forgoes the oats! Sweeter than its cousin, the crisp, crumble is just as versatile.

Blueberry Pandowdy

Double-Berry White Chocolate Crunch

Plumcot Cinnamon Roll Monkey Breadf
