There are a lot of reasons to love summer: warm weather, beach trips, longer days with gorgeous sunsets and, of course, backyard BBQs with good eats and good people. After all, what would summer be without the iconic smell of the grill wafting through the backyard?

While we hold a special place in our hearts for traditional BBQ fare, we are also in favor of switching things up. That's why we created our new GH+ exclusive Easy 600-Calorie Summer BBQ Menu full of delicious and creative apps, mains, desserts and cocktails. Mix and match the items on this menu, and you can have a delicious BBQ meal in 600 calories or less. Whether you're hosting the whole neighborhood this summer or prefer to keep it more intimate with immediate family, our new BBQ menu will have everyone reaching for seconds (and thirds).
