PaleoMom 4 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 We usually have friends over and grill on the fourth, however it's usually hamburgers, potato salad, beans, Corning the cob, etc. I'd like to try to impress my friends with a paleo friendly BBQ this year. I'm going to grill some meat, just not sure what yet. Also need ideas for sides and appetizers. If you have any ideas for me I'd love to hear them! Thanks!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Katie Enockson 2 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Kabobs Kabobs KABOBS! MMMMM I love me some kabobs. It's a great way to get your meat and veggies. Chicken, shrimp, steak, bell peppers, onions, tomato, whatever you want! I'm even trying to grill some cabbage and brussel sprouts this year! I live in ND and grilling season is my favorite. It seems like the easiest time of the year to eat Paleo. Who needs burgers and hot dogs when you can have REAL food?! Link to post Share on other sites
Moderators Tom Denham 10042 Posted June 27, 2012 Moderators Share Posted June 27, 2012 Ideas for a 4th of July cookout! Good idea. I bet the Whole9 is going to blog about that. Soon. With recipes from a bunch of clean-eating cooks. Link to post Share on other sites
PaleoMom 4 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Kabobs would be great! I love grilling season, too. Link to post Share on other sites
kayell 141 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 The meat's easy. Everything meaty tastes great grilled! So I won't hit on that. Grilled asparagus, eggplant slabs, squash, portabello mushrooms, onion slabs (stick a skewer through them so the rings don't separate.) I usually do grilled veg pretty simply - olive oil, garlic, maybe some balsamic vinegar. Grilled fruits are SO GOOD. Pineapple, peaches or nectarines, bananas or yellow plantains. Just brush with ghee and watch like a hawk. No one will even remember what they're "missing" after eating a grilled peach. Link to post Share on other sites
Renee Lee 1908 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 broccoli slaw, egg salad, deviled eggs, guacamole and plantain chips. Link to post Share on other sites
PaleoMom 4 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 mmm, plantain chips. I'll have to look up a recipe for that! These are some great ideas guys! Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
Tavia 4 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Veggie chips (sweet potato and zucchini are my favorites). Grilled squash/zucchini I saw a recipe floating on pinterest for paleo potato salad. Im not sure what the ingredients were. You could do a berry parfait kind of thing with coconut cream. Link to post Share on other sites
Robin Strathdee 2914 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 You could do a sweet potato salad with homemade mayo, huge fruit and veggie trays, etc. I also saw a really cute picture on Pinterest where someone stuck watermelon wedges with popsicle sticks to make them easier for small hands to eat. That will be happening at my house on the 4th. Link to post Share on other sites
Derval 3321 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Oh I also saw a thing on pinterest where someone had made watermelon shapes with cookie cutters! Link to post Share on other sites
Melissa Urban 2338 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 We have a post going up this Friday, full of Whole30 approved summertime cookout dishes. Stay tuned! Link to post Share on other sites
Karen 599 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I saw a grilled avocado recipe on pinterest yesterday that looked delish! Link to post Share on other sites
CAK911 236 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 My favorite grilling veggies are summer squash, zucchini, and bell peppers. We keep meaning to grill asparagus. Broccoli slaw suggested above would be great, or any of the vinegar based cole slaws (which have always been my preference, anyhow, as they taste more salad-like to me). Sweet potato salad, or baked sweet potatos would be a nice side. Grilled pineapple is really wonderful. The strawberries and cherries have been outrageously good lately, and watermelon is a classic.
