10 Easy Grilling Recipes for Busy Weeknights

April 24, 2024 By Katie

Welcome grilling season with 10 easy grilling recipes that you can have on your table in under 30 minutes. Perfect for those busy weeknights! 

It’s that time of year again when I think about NEW grilling recipes to share with my readers. And then I think, hey, there’s no reason to re-create the wheel here. There are PLENTY of grilling recipes on Mom to Mom Nutrition that you already know and love. Let’s get grilling!

Whether you’re new to the blog or haven’t yet searched for easy grilling recipes on Mom to Mom Nutrition, I’ve got you covered with more than of few of my family’s favorites. Plus a few no-recipe grill meals that are standby’s [i.e. hot dogs anyone?!]. I tend to be a protein-only grill master [maybe this summer I’ll try veggies too!]. So most of my sides are made ahead of time or sauteed inside. If it’s too hard to be at the stovetop and grill at once, then consider prepping your veggies on the weekend and reheating before serving. Or use a bag or two of frozen veggies you can microwave.

What I love about grilling season is that mealtime does NOT seem complicated. In fact, it almost seems lighter on my stomach and easier for my brain. Don’t ask me why, but I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way!

Drumroll please….

I hope you found these easy grilling recipes as simple and tasty as my family does! Sometimes the best-grilled dishes have come from a simple bottle of salad dressing or BBQ sauce as well. My favorites? Italian dressing, balsamic dressing, and Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce [all for chicken, pork tenderloin, or certain cuts of beef]. Just marinate for a few hours and baste some extra sauce on the meat while grilling, and voila! You just have 3 more easy grilling recipes to try.
