Wishing you all a happy and safe Labor Day! In my family, we typically celebrate labor day with a backyard barbecue. There is nothing like a family gathering and cooking outside together while we slowly say goodbye to summer days. Below is a guide to simplifying your barbecue with super easy and healthy recipes for each course. The best part is minimal cleanup because everything is cooked directly on the barbecue.
Main Courses
Garlic Grilled Shrimp Skewers – Recipe Here
This is great to include as a lighter, healthier option. For an even easier grilled shrimp, check your local grocery store for pre-made skewers. I have tried these from Wegmans and they tasted great!
Easy Grilled Chicken Breast – Recipe Here
Grilled chicken breast is a staple in my house, because it is so easy to cook and so healthy! It is the saving grace if you want barbecue fun without a heavy stomach after.
Grilled Cauliflower Steak With Romesco Sauce (VEGAN OPTION!) – Recipe Here
While I am personally not a vegan, I think it is so important to have options for all at a BBQ! These cauliflower steaks look absolutely delicious and will ensure that everyone is excited to eat.
Side Dish
Grilled Vegetables Skewers – Recipe Here
The best part about these is that you do not have to follow the recipe exactly. You can use whichever veggies you have in your fridge or only include your favorites.
Dessert
Fruit Salad – Recipe Here
Fruit salad is so sweet and healthy. If you want to make your own, the recipe below will get you started. However, it can be adjusted based on which fruits you have and what you like! If you don’t feel like chopping up fruit, a pre-made fruit salad can usually be found at your local grocery store.
