Sweet & Sour Meatball Kabobs Kabobs are one of those foods I look forward to in the summertime for a variety of reasons: They're a great way to pack
Kabobs are one of those foods I look forward to in the summertime for a variety of reasons: They're a great way to pack in those healthy veggies, they're versatile (lots of different sauces and seasonings you can use to change up the flavor profiles), and they're not only quick and easy to make, they can be made well in advance (the meatballs can even be frozen). Both the sauce can be made and the skewers assembled the day before - then simply take them out of the fridge and throw 'em on the grill when you're ready to eat! Feel free to swap out or add any veggies of your choice and you can also use chicken breast instead of the meatballs if you prefer. The combination of sweet and savory ingredients in these kabobs is delicious and the rainbow of colors is visually pretty. Let the grilling begin! | Have you ever walked through a field of sunflowers in bloom? I haven't but it's something I've always wanted to do. They're such bright and perfectly happy flowers, I can only imagine the experience of being fully surrounded by an entire field of them. Someday I'll take a trip to Kansas ("The Sunflower State") when the sunflowers are in season and take in that beautiful sight. But until then I'll content myself with a traditional and thoroughly delightful Kansan treat: Sunflower seed cookies! Sweet coconut, chewy oats, and salty toasted sunflower seeds pair in these delicious cookies that are sure to become a new favorite! | The term hasselback originally referred to a method of preparing potatoes and was invented at a restaurant in Sweden called Hasselbacken. Whole potatoes were sliced in thin, even layers but not cut all the way through so that the potato was still held together. This created more surface area while the potato was baked and also lent itself to being able to stuff the individual layers with more seasonings or other ingredients. Today I'm sharing my recipe with you for hasselback chicken. Chicken breasts are sliced and stuffed with cheese, bacon or smoked ham, and pickled jalapenos. Or you can swap out the jalapenos with roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, add some basil...feel free to get creative! This hasselback chicken is fun to make and is thoroughly yummy! | Several years ago I stopped by a local deli and was scanning over their selection of salads when the broccoli salad caught my eye. I love broccoli salads but this one was particularly good and was different from most. I brought some extra home with me so I could replicate it and it has remained a family favorite ever since. Whether I bring it to potlucks, backyard bbq's, or picnics, I always get requests for the recipe. And it's a perfect make-ahead salad because it's even better the next day! | | | |
