Grilling Recipes for Every Meal

Here in Texas, we sure do love our barbecue. We love spending time with our family and friends – poolside – soaking in the sunshine and breathing in the smell of a good brisket cooking over the flames.

The weather hasn’t exactly been ideal for hanging out by the grill lately though. This weekend, however, is supposed to be gorgeous (*crossing our fingers*), and we think it’s time for some good grilling recipes.

In order for you to enjoy the great weather as much as possible (before it gets TOO hot, or we get another wave of freezing temperatures), we found some recipes around the web that will keep you outside all day long. This blog post has breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert recipes for you to try out in your outdoor kitchen. Give them a try, and let us know what you think!

BREAKFAST:

Grilled Breakfast Pizza

What You’ll Need:

12 ounces of fresh pizza dough
Olive oil
3 Eggs
3 strips of cooked bacon, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup of grated mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup of grated parmesan
1 pinch of Kosher salt
1 pinch of freshly cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon of minced flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon of minced chives
1 whole scallion, trimmed & thinly sliced

Your best bet is to go ahead and prep the food while your grill is getting nice and hot. Crack the eggs into a bowl to make sure the shell doesn’t fall onto the pizza. Then, get outside and start grillin’! To see the full recipe for this breakfast pizza, click here.

Water & Fire Feature Additions

    • Adding water features, such as delightful bubblers on an existing sun shelf, lively deck jets around your pool’s coping, and stunning sheer descents or scuppers that allow water to gently cascade down a raised pool wall, provides gorgeous highlights and accents to your pool that you can marvel at.

Decking & Spa Additions

  • Added Deck Space
    • Expanding the amount of decking in your back yard can allow for more space to entertain and relax poolside. Imagine a new patio addition around your pool to place a set of comfortable lounging chairs, a stylish outdoor dining spot, a stunning outdoor kitchen area or a striking fire pit and seating area. 
  • Add a Spa
    • Adding a spa to your existing pool is a great way to bring a new level of functionality and enjoyment to your personal outdoor retreat. Spas offer a therapeutic experience and, with vast array of styles and custom features from which to choose, your new spa will not only relax and invigorate you, it can become the focal point of your pool and serve as an energetic and complementary addition to its entire design. 

New Pool Amenities

  • Are you looking to find new ways to spend time in your pool? Adding a swim-up bar, a sun shelf, and umbrella anchors can boost your experience and bring a new level of luxury to your outdoor space. 
  • For added recreational fun, consider incorporating a water slide, a diving board, a basketball goal or a volleyball anchor.

Our Reviews

What Happy Customers Are Saying About Us

We had a cocktail pool installed by KZP and the pool turned out fantastic. We received quotes from two other pool companies, and while KZP was the higher, they were also the only ones willing to work with our custom design. They use top-quality materials and offered a huge selection of pool fittings/finishes. Kent Ely in sales was easy to work with and was pressure-free at making the sale. Bill Sturgis was our site supervisor (we didn't see him very often but was very responsive to email, phone calls, or text messages). Elizabeth, in the design department, was fun to work with while we picked color scheme and tiles. They had a very small space to work with and they did what they had to do to make it work. I would recommend KZP to anyone.

We are very excited to start using our Kieth Zar's pool this summer. They turned our backyard into our dream. Tony came out and answered all our questions on the initial visit, and measured everything in our backyard, including trees. He returned the next week with an outstanding design on paper and a 3-D model on the computer that made it come to life. We had some delays and struggles with HOA, but knowing that Zar's was in our corner and doing all the work to get everything approved, we had no worries. Work was completed on schedule, even with weather delays. John and Toby walked us through and answered all our questions along the whole build process. We also know we can still call with any more questions we have along the way, even though the job is complete.
