Vegetable Shish Kabobs
While meat shish kabobs bring out the inner carnivore in us all, creating your own vegetable version of the summer treat fuses various greens together to create one spectacular dish. Meats are optional.
14:
Squid
Even if seafood isn't a regular dish for you, squid is worth trying. Like shrimp, it's fairly easy to grill and the taste will have you making trips to the market every week.
13:
Lamb Chops
For the lamb chop you'll want to make sure to revive your marinating skills. As it's taste is always succulent when cooked right, you can add various spices such as hot peppers, curry or jerk seasonings.
12:
Spaghetti Squash
Similar to the zucchini, the spaghetti squash can be a full meal in itself with a little bit of butter, fresh cheese or other vegetables like tomatoes and broccoli.
11:
Burgers
When we mean a burger, we don't mean the thin slices of meat you normally find at fast food joints; we mean the thick slabs that hold a lot flavor and taste with every bite. Prepare your own from scratch or go for the rare varieties made with mushrooms, various cheeses or summer vegetables.
10:
Lobster
Skip the Red Lobster trip and grill your own meal from under the sea. If you catch them live, take a knife to split its carapace down the middle, lightly butter the meat inside and let the barbecue do the rest.
9:
T-Bone Steak
Up your preference in steak by going with the only cut a man should go with. The T-Bone may be difficult to get through, but with the right seasonings and preparation, the inner caveman is bound to present itself after the first bite.
8:
Italian Sausage
Need to add a summer touch to your next pasta dish? Grill up a few sausages and even fry a few peppers and onions on a separate burner to add to the meat when it's fully cooked.
7:
Corn On The Cob
A summer barbecue favorite, there's nothing that can really match the flavor and satisfaction that comes with a grilled corn on the cob. The reason why? The delicious taste can be improved with any topping you desire.
6:
Clams
Sophisticate your backyard barbecue by showcasing clams as a new delicacy. Clean a dozen or so and toss them on the grill and when they pop open, serve with butter, barbecue sauce or spices.
5:
Bacon
When the sun becomes relentless, ditch the frying pan. Let bacon embrace the grill and be prepared for what follows as you'll never let it touch the stove again.
4:
Red Peppers
Not only can you grill slices to add to other summer sandwiches but you can add bits of grilled red peppers to salads and homemade salsa to instill a "kick" to your dishes.
3:
Zucchini
A vegetable that's often overlooked, it's flavor sizzles on the grill especially when a few dashes of fresh garlic, rosemary or Parmesan cheese is added.
2:
Traditional Pizza
If you're not skilled enough to make your own dough from scratch, build your own pizza with toppings of your choosing (vegetables and meats work best) and slip your creation on the grill. The taste beats delivery!

Chicken Wings
Chicken wings aren't totally dependent on sauce and our barbecue can prove us right. Flip them on the grill and watch your mouth water as they become tender and almost fall right off the bone.
