Get Grilling This Spring! Easy Outdoor Recipes the Whole Family Will Love
Atwell homes feature beautiful outdoor living spaces just right for al fresco meals with family and friends.
Living at Atwell is all about easy living in a beautiful setting. Make the most of your new home's outdoor living spaces with these hot-off-the-grill menus.
No mess, no fuss grill packets.
One of the best things about cooking outdoors is no cleanup in your new Atwell kitchen! Extend the no-cleanup theme to your outdoor kitchen as well, with all-in-one grill packets. All you need is foil and your creativity, since grill packets come in all flavors. Try a potato and sausage combo for the carnivores in your crowd. Kid-friendly foil packet nachos are a hearty main course, or serve them up as appetizers alongside guacamole and salsa. Or use your imagination to create your own everything-but-the-kitchen-sink packet surprises.
Go vegetarian.
Grilled veggies might not be your first thought when you think “barbecue” but why not make them the center attraction? Atwell homeowners have an abundance of locally sourced vegetables to showcase. Grilled vegetable kabobs are a good way to incorporate currently available fresh veggies, such as squash, peppers, mushrooms and broccoli. Add in a spear of pineapple or peach for a sweet surprise. Pair them with a grilled corn salad for a colorful and healthy springtime palette.
Get fruity.
Just about any type of fruit can be grilled, and living at Atwell, you have plenty of fresh options to choose from. To get started, pick firm fruit (too soft, and the fruit will not hold up well on the grill). Larger fruit can be cut in strips or circles; just be sure they are large enough to not slip through the grates. For smaller fruit, like strawberries or grapes, use a skewer. Want to add a little something-something? Experiment with marinades like brown sugar and cinnamon, honey or a favorite liquor! For a caramelized finish, sprinkle sugar on the fruit’s cut side.
Grilled fruit is yummy as a standalone dessert, or you can incorporate it into other recipes. A pitcher of grilled fruit sangria is sure to get raves, or use your fruit to top a batch of homemade ice cream churned on your Atwell back porch.
No matter what you cook up, your Atwell home’s outdoor living area is the perfect place to enjoy the beautiful outdoors and springtime’s bountiful harvests.
