Even More Tips to Get Out of a Grilling Rut

Work Your Way Through a Cookbook

There is no shortage of grilling cookbooks out there, so why not take advantage of someone else’s knowledge? Head on down to your local bookstore (or, who are we kidding, hop on the internet and try searching Amazon) and pick up a cookbook that specifically focuses on grilling. You might learn a thing or two in the process of finding some unique recipes and that’s a win/win in our book no matter how you look at it.

Ask Your Family For Inspiration

Another great way to mix things up is to ask your kids what they want to eat. You never know what you might hear and it could just give you the opportunity you need to get creative with your grill and work on a new masterpiece. Ask your kids what their friends like eating. Check with your spouse to see if he or she remembers a favorite meal from childhood. Your next source of inspiration could be closer than you think!

Do a Recipe Exchange at Work

This is perhaps our favorite idea of the bunch. Simply ask your coworkers if they’d be willing to do a recipe exchange with you. You can choose a theme (such as grilling) or not, but either way you’re sure to end up with some great recipes. All you have to do is purchase a box of recipe cards and hand them out to your coworkers. Write down your favorite recipes and swap with five of your coworkers. The end result is that everyone gets to try something new that has already been taste tested and is good enough to share. It really doesn’t get much better than that!
