Have your veggie burgers all set for the grill but need some sides to go with them? I've got a tasty listof Vegan Sides for BBQs and Grilling for you!
When the weather gets nice I like to head out of the kitchen and enjoy the sunshine while grilling up some food. Okay so maybe I'm not doing the actualgrilling, it's usually Matt, but I like to go outside with him and hang with the pups while he grills us up some nice vegan treats.
And who doesn't love some grilled vegan food? Today I thought I'd share with you some of my favorite foods for the grill or recipes that complement grilled foods well.
I've asked some of my bloggerfriends to help me out too so you'll have a variety of vegan sides for grilling season to choose from plus you'll need dessert after all that grilling so I've added a bonus dessert recipe - a grilled banana split!
Throw some veggie burgers on the grill andget ready for some fantastic side dishes and salads to go along with them!
