Food Network Monthly Cookalong Theme - July!

First off...Happy Canada Day to all the Canadians out there! We are going to celebrate it by going to the farmer's market and cleaning our backyard, woo! I know, we are wild!

The theme for July for our cookalong is going to be GRILLING! Works perfectly for this time of year, too hot to cook inside around here for sure. I figured I would go broad with the theme this month since there are lots of grilling recipes on the American Food Network website (5000+ in fact if you search) and they have a page up right now as well called Grilling Central that is full of recipes just screaming for that vegan touch. I can say I don't have much experience barbecuing since becoming vegan but I'm ready to give it a go. We even bought a new BBQ the other day that I am really excited about breaking in. Don't have a BBQ? No problem, grilling is something you can do inside as well on a grill pan or under a broiler or maybe even over a camp fire! And remember barbecuing isn't just about the food, it's about the experience too! You can blog about your favourite summer drinks or sides too! So summon your inner Bobby Flay and hit the grill, then share it with the rest of us on your blog and don't forget to email me a link or let me know so I can include you in the round up at the end of the month!
