It’s almost Autostraddle’s own Babe-B-Q weekend! We’ll be hanging out with each other August 15 and 16 to grill up a storm, and everyone’s invited! We’ll also be guiding you through the process of grilling up said storm and getting prepared for the big event all week. You can view all Babe-B-Q posts here.
Much like its introverted indoor cousin, the crock pot, an outdoor grill can cook a whole lot of unexpected stuff beyond hot dogs and hamburgers and tofu steaks. Not to hate on quintessential BBQ foods, of course, but your grill can do so much more than you think. Whether you’re camping or backyard barbecuing or just trying to avoid stove cooking on a hot day, here are some weird and wonderful things that you can make on a grill!
