Simple grilling recipes?
My H and I are on the road to healthier eating. He is a tough egg to crack in terms of branching out of his normal meat, cheese and carbs. he barely eats veggies and might eat fruit if i cut it up and pack it for him. It's like having a child:)
He does however enjoy grilling and we have grilled out the last 4 nights. I'm running out of kabob ideas ! any ideas you ladies have for healthy, simple grilling?
our faves include; chicken and pineapple, sirloin and peaches, shrimp and pineapple, sweet potatoes and veggies.
thank you:)
Re: Simple grilling recipes?
One summer we made this about every 5th night. We love it! The recipe says thighs, but I use it with breasts and it's just as good. It's super quick for weeknights - walk in the door, throw everything in a ziplock to marinate, then go change clothes, have a beer, preheat the grill, then it's ready for the grill!
This is one of my favorite recipes of all time. Also super simple. The sauce is divine and hardly takes any effort - don't skip it.

These are my favorite kabobs with a healthy rice side (maybe your DH would eat the veggies if they were mixed into the rice?)
