For many of us, we are looking forward to a relaxing long weekend to celebrate Labour Day. Others are just looking longingly at the end of summer, wishing it could go on just a bit longer.

However you land, this weekend is the perfect excuse to gather, relax, and enjoy some really good food. Whether you're hosting a backyard BBQ, heading to a picnic, or just soaking up the last of summer, I've put together my favourite grilling recipes to make it all delicious and easy.

From grilled mains and fresh sides, these recipes are made for sharing and enjoying outdoors.
