Here in the northwest, Memorial Day Weekend kicks off our grilling season and I couldn’t be more excited to be able to cook outside once again. Brian and I have a system for this- I do the prepping and seasoning and he does the grilling. Divide and conquer. It turns out, when we’re not catering, cooking together is surprisingly fun. 🙂 Here are a few of my favorite healthy delicious grilling recipes for you to start perusing and I will update them as the season progresses. Many are paleo, many are vegan adaptable and gluten-free. These are perfect for mixed households with meat-eaters and vegans living under the same roof. Pick a few and give them a whirl- and make sure rate them and let us know how you adapted them!
