My BBQ Favorites.. & A Great Grilled Romaine Recipe

Grilled Romaine is one of my new favorite salads. Absolutely delicious and very simple to make. I love anything grilled, and just couldn’t wait to BBQ some lettuce! Add lots of Parmesan cheese, tomatoes, and olives. We’ve tossed some Romaine lettuce on the BBQ several times this summer… Everyone loves it.

Below, I listed some of my favorite foods to grill. I even like to BBQ fruit. Just love how it gets all sweet, juicy and caramelized. De-lish! What’re your favorite foods to grill??

Bon Appétit!
