Make your own Memorial Day!

If you've been following this blog you know how much I love a BBQ! So, Memorial Day weekend is one of my faves - or any weekend in the Summer, really! I'll grill just about anything. I love the smell of the charcoal and sitting outside while dinner cooks on the flames. There is something so relaxing and pleasurable about eating this way. Cooking out of doors at a campsite or in the backyard feels like such a treat.

Here are some great Summer combos for putting together extra special kabobs. Don't forget to soak the wooden skewers for about 15-20 minutes before pilling on the meats and veggies. Also, keep cooking time in mind and chop up foods accordingly, littler pieces with quick cooking shrimp and fish and larger chunks with beef and chicken. It's a good idea to baste the kabobs before putting them on the grill to prevent sticking and help caramelize the food.

Try something different....

Teriyaki Salmon: Salmon + mushrooms + pineapple + onions + teriyaki

Pesto Chicken: Chicken + cherry tomatoes + zucchini + pesto

Jerk Pork: Pork + onions + red pepper + peaches + jerk sauce

Mediterranean Scallop: Scallops + zucchini + onions + tapenade

These are all delicious, healthy and easy ideas! Serve over a salad or with some grilled corn! Here's to Summer cooking!
