5 Foods You'd Never Think to Grill!

We've still got some nice weather ahead of us, and we know that some of us Lake lifers just aren't quite ready to put the grill away. But after a summer full of grilling, you're probably tired of the usual grilled go-to's. If you are tired of all of your old stand-bys when it comes to grilling, Isla Del Sol luxury condominiums at the Lake of the Ozarks has a few new ideas for you. You've probably never even considered throwing a few of these on your grill, but once you give them a try, we think that you're going to love how they taste.   

1. Pizza

Pizza tastes awesome from the grill. Place the flattened dough, brushed with a bit of olive oil, on the grill. Once you get grill marks, remove it, add your toppings (to the cooked side), then place it back on the heat for a couple of minutes until the cheese is bubbly.

2. Oysters

Place this delicious seafood on the grill, flat-side up, for about 5 minutes. You will know they are done when the shells open up. If the meat inside is hot, then they are ready to eat.

3. Quesadillas

Just like with the pizza dough, brush on a bit of olive oil and place the tortilla on the grill. Add your cheese and toppings, and once the cheese begins melting, fold the tortilla over with a spatula. The melted cheese will seal it up nicely for you.

4. Avocado

An avocado will pick up the delicious smoky flavor of a grill in just seconds. Cook for about 5 minutes. A tasty way to finish them is to add a little salt, lime, and a drizzle of honey.

5. Bread

A nice, crusty loaf of bread tastes great with any meal, but grilling it steps it up another notch. Brush on some olive oil, maybe rub on a bit of garlic or other seasoning, and grill for about 3 minutes or until lightly charred.

6. Tomatoes

Cherry tomatoes on a skewer come out hot and juicier than ever. These are perfect for a side alone, or you can add a few other veggies to the skewer and really tempt your taste buds.

7. Pound Cake

Slice it up, brush it with melted butter, grill it, and top with some fresh fruit or the next two items on our list for a yummy dessert.

8. Peaches

Sliced peaches fresh off of the grill are incredible by themselves, but pair them with some ice cream and you'll be very happy.

9. Watermelon

As the heat evaporates the water in this fruit, a caramelized exterior develops with a flavorful, juicy core. You can add to the flavor with a sprinkle of salt and a squeeze of citrus.

There are a few main dishes, some sides, and couple of dessert options for you. You can make an entire meal from this list, but if they look a little odd to you, maybe try one at a time. There are still plenty of good days left to step out on your patio and fire up the grill. Your Lake of the Ozarks waterfront condominium is the perfect place to kick back and enjoy any one of these unique dishes.
