Fruit Skewers

These fruit skewers are the easiest crowd-pleasing appetizer or healthy snack you’ll make! Just thread fresh fruit onto sticks and serve with a 3-ingredient dip. Everything tastes better on a stick, right? These fruit skewers are a simple concept that’s more like an idea than a recipe: but it makes everyone go crazy for pure, fresh fruit. Use whatever fruits you like and even better, serve with my favorite 3 ingredient fruit dip ! The skewers are perfect for a summer appetizer, snack ideas or even a healthy dessert. I love serving these after a summer meal on the patio: it’s always the perfect after-dinner treat!

Fajitas on the Grill

These fajitas on the grill are the best fast and easy dinner! The charred veggies and black beans make a total crowd pleaser. I eat the Mediterranean diet mostly, so I often eat vegetarian or plant-based when I cook at home. It’s been a great way to force creativity in general, but especially at the grill in the summer! Grilling is well-known to highlight meat, but I’ve been surprised at how it can make humble vegetables into something brilliant. Such is the case with this fajita grill recipe. Bell peppers , portobello mushrooms , and onions transform into the most delicious meld of savory flavors. It’s a fantastic grilled dinner idea , and you can serve with tortillas or make it as fajita salad ! 5 Star Reader Review “Love love LOVE this recipe!
