Not lucky enough to be getting away for the long weekend? Bring the seaside to the back garden with this fantastic dish of swordfish steaks from Bon Appetit.  Juicy and delicious, swordfish is a perfect substitute for a meaty steak. Plus, when you go for cutlets that are over 1″ thick they are filling and healthy, too.

Lemon Ice Cream Meringue Pie

 

Put a summery twist on a british classic for your barbecue dessert. We’re loving this lemon ice cream meringue pie from Food Network Kitchens. A refreshing version of the traditional lemon meringue pie, this one is bound to be a favourite with everyone in the family.

 

Coastal Citrus Punch

 

What is a barbecue without amazing refreshments? This coastal citrus punch from HGTV puts a unique twist on Sangria.  Throw in all the fruits you love to a bottle of Riesling and serve it over fresh ice, your adult guests will love it. For a kid friendly, nonalcoholic replacement, use lemon lime still water or lemonade. What’s perfect is this thirst quenching drink can be made in big batches so you aren’t playing bartender all day long.
