I fired up my grill in February on a cold, windy day when I felt winter had sucked the joy from my heart and the color off my skin. The grill barely kept up against the chill, but my family enjoyedgochujang-marinated chicken thighs with charred bits and I felt rejuvenated and a little warmer.

Summer is finally here and I'm firing up the grill as often as possible. Here you'll find seven grilling recipes for each day this week, including handy tips from the contributors.

Get Recipe: Arrachera (Mexican Skirt Steak)

"Fresh pineapple juice is often used in marinades because it carries an enzyme called bromelain which helps tenderize the protein in meat. I highly recommend marinating the arrachera for 3 to 4 hours before cooking so the meat has ample time to absorb all of the flavor." —Esteban Castillo, Contributor
