Fun and Affordable Summer Grilling Tips

'Tis the season for summer entertaining. Editor-in-Chief of Woman's Day magazine, Elizabeth Mayhew has some easy, unique, and affordable menu ideas.What are some easy food items for our outdoor bashes this summer without spending a lot of time and money? Elizabeth: Grilling is so popular this time of year, but it's easy to quickly burn out with classics like hamburgers and hot dogs. A new survey from Boboli pizza just revealed that 99% Americans are not grilling pizza - and the open flame from the grill makes it one of the best ways to replicate the taste and texture of pizza from a wood-burning oven. Its so easy---- you can grab a Boboli pizza crust. They come in original, thin and 100% whole wheat, and im a big fan of letting your guests customize and make their own food....offer different topping options, from steak to peppers and other fresh summer produce, and let guests choose what they want on their pizzas. And its so easy...first you grill all your toppings. Then, grill the Boboli pizza crust for 2 minutes on each side. Put the topping on the crust, with whatever cheese and sauce you'd like, and grill everything with the lid closed for about 10 minutes and voila! Go to www.boboli.com they have some great grilled pizza recipes.And in summertime you want to take advantage of all the summer fruits that are in season and of course on sale...strawberries, blueberries, raspberries. I like to try new recipes and ideas every year. Take some simple ingredients and add a few twists to really make them pop. One of my favorite treats is tossing berries or other fresh fruit with a few cinnamon-baked tortilla strips and topping with Reddi-wip. It turns a simple dish into a quick, tasty dessert - with no guilt because Reddi-wip only has 15 calories per serving! It's the real cream and fresh fruit that make this a light and creamy dessert i can serve my family any day of the week. Also you make your dessert your centerpiece...and really encourage your guests to make their own....looks so pretty -just leave the reddi-wip cans out on some ice for them to top....its great!
