 Summer
is filled with traditional times to cook outdoors: Memorial Day,
Father's Day,
the 4th of July, Labor
Day. But why limit yourself? If you've got the grill and the weather
is right, every night can be a barbecue.
 Whether
it's a propane grill in the back yard, a charcoal grill at a local
park or beach, or a hearty meal
prepared over a campfire, we've got some some fabulous cookout
menu suggestions. As always, we've remembered to include a vegetarian
menu option and each menu includes alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage
options.
Needless to say, the menu suggestions below are rough guidelines
of what you might want to serve. Mix and match to suit your own
taste. For even more recipe suggestions,

The
Grilled Veggie Stacks are one of my favorite vegetarian entrees.
Marinated fresh vegetables are stacked with cheese, skewered
with a branch of fresh rosemary and served over pasta. It's
easy to grill and prepare the stacks in advance, then just
heat to melt the cheese and serve when it's time to eat.
