Weeknight Gas Grilling and Easy Sides

Hundreds of recipes by Jessica Miller – quick grilled mains and sides for weeknights.

Profile:

Jessica Miller's recipes start from a practical question: what can go from the fridge to the table in about half an hour, using a gas grill? Most of her work sits in Grilling, with grilled chicken breasts, shrimp and asparagus kebabs, swordfish with herb butter, and even a frozen burger cooked straight on the grates. Her dishes lean on familiar ingredients and straightforward methods, so a weeknight dinner does not need a special shopping trip.

Nearly as many of her recipes are Sides: grilled corn, creamy macaroni salad, vegetable dishes cooked on a flat-top, and casseroles and one-pot pasta for evenings when the grill stays off. Titles state the serving size and total time, such as "for 4" or "in 25 minutes," so you can judge a recipe at a glance. A smaller group covers burgers, sliders and a few smoked dishes for weekends with more time.
