Hamburgers and hot dogs can be low carb as long as you don't eat them on buns.

Brush steaks with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. At the last minute of grilling top each steak with a pat of butter and sprinkle of parsley.

-Even though you’re low carbing, you can still have hamburgers and hot dogs when you grill out.

Instead of a high carb bun, serve grilled hamburgers between two pieces of crisp lettuce. Add cheese and all the trimmings.

-Eliminate the hot dog bun by grilling hotdogs on skewers. Serve with low carb ketchup, mustard and barbque sauce.

-To keep wooden skewers from burning, be sure to soak them for about an hour before placing them on the grill.

-Deviled eggs are a picnic favorite and can be very low carb.

Recipe:

6 hard boiled eggs

6 tablespoons full fat mayonnaise

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

salt and pepper to taste

paprika

Slice cool boiled eggs in half and place the yokes in a small bowl. Mash them with a fork. Add in the mayonnaise and mustard, then add salt and pepper to taste.

Spoon the filling into the egg halves and sprinkle with paprika. Add a tiny sprig of parsley for garnish if you like.

Asparagus is a great low carb vegetable.

-Grilled asparagus spears are low carb and delicious. Snap off the bottom of fresh asparagus spears and toss with olive oil, salt and better. Grill till tender.

Mushrooms are another low carb side dish that can be delicious on the grill. Wipe large mushrooms with a damp paper towel. In a bowl, mix olive oil, chopped garlic, salt and pepper and toss with mushrooms. Then just place them on the grill.

-And nothing make a better low carb dessert than a bowl of fresh berries.
