Kabobs
Love summer time! Summer time to me is so much fun, not just for the sun and vacations…but for the grill! I find that if I am ever in doubt as to what I should make for dinner…I head for the grill. You can make some of the best food on the grill….although I have to admit I have had some mishaps. Like, for example, the first time I tried to make pizza on the grill. Let’s just say the people at the grocery store saw me twice in one day, one hour apart. 😛
Anyways, I wanted to make something on the grill and kabobs are always a good choice. Especially when you have fresh ingredients from your garden 🙂
I made vegetable, chicken, and steak kabobs, tomato salad, and my helper made homemade rice. I hope you enjoy!
Ingredients for veggie kabobs:
1 squash
1 zucchini
3 tomatoes
8 ounces mushrooms
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 cloves garlic
3-4 basil leaves
2 sprigs of thyme
1 lime
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon red pepper flake
1 teaspoon pepper
Ingredients for meat kabobs:
2 chicken breasts
2 steak tenderloin
KC dry rub
1 tablespoon olive oil
This is a Kansas City rub that is really meant for pork, but honestly can be used on any meat. I also find that when I do kabobs it is so much easier to cut the meat when it is still frozen (if you get your meat from your storage – which I did)
Let’s take a little side bar for a drink shall we??? 🙂
Cherry lemonade, ginger ale, sugar rim, lime, vodka….ahhh……
OK…back to work
This is my helper…..he made the fried rice, which was ah-mazing 🙂
This is tomato salad..the recipe for this will be posted at another time. It is so heavenly! I cannot even describe to you how good this is.
Grill time!

Love your photos! My daughter noticed your bracelets… she just got some for her birthday and was excited to notice them in the pic. With the Farmer’s Markets overflowing with vegies, this is an excellent summer meal. I particularly enjoyed the sidebar drink!!
