Herby Lemon Chicken Skewers
These chicken skewers are so tender, juicy, and delicious, Leo ate them even though they had herby green specs on them. The easy weeknight-friendly prep guarantees they’ll make it into heavy rotation.
Grilled Brunch Skewers with Spicy Maple Glaze
The pandemic has driven all socializing outside this summer, but these brunch skewers of pineapple, bell pepper, sausage, and maple glaze prepared on the grill allowed us a Sunday morning with friends.
Asian Honey Garlic Chicken Kabobs
Three and a half months in to a global pandemic, socializing with friends indoors or meeting in restaurants isn’t an option. There’s little comfort level for sharing food or even serving utensils. The best way we’ve found to see friends is outside, and sharing food straight off the grill (everyone can grab their own skewers) seems reasonable.
These flavorful kabobs are absolutely delicious and provided a bright moment of entertaining during a long challenging summer.
Quick-Brined Grilled Pork Chops
A twenty-minute soaking in a salt brine makes grilled pork chops tender, juicy, and flavorful. Serve with grilled baby bok choy.

Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad
If you’re looking for a mouth-watering salad filling enough for dinner, but still lettuce-based (so it at least seems healthy), this is it. Romaine lettuce is topped with marinated and grilled sliced chicken thighs, bacon, tomatoes, avocado, red onions, boiled eggs, and honey-dijon vinaigrette.
Grilled Corn Salad
Grilled corn with juicy tomatoes, salty feta cheese, basil, and lemon is the perfect side for a backyard barbecue or pool party. We usually bring some spare grilled whole corn to satisfy kids who’d rather eat straight off the cob.
