The Little Grill That Could

Our little red charcoal grill is on fire! Summer is here and we have begun to cook outside!
A few weeks ago we emptied our freezer and grilled up anything we could find. Sausage, chicken, burgers you name it. There is nothing better then the taste and smell of a back yard cook out.  What we couldn't eat we put in Tupperware and stored it for leftovers.

 Last weekend my lovely mother-in-law, Shari came to visit us. Matt and I wanted to show off our back yard and grill so Shish Kabob was on the menu!
Shari doesn't eat red meat so we thought tons of shrimp and veggies would be the way to go. Seasoned with some cumin, olive oil and paprika we threaded those bad boys and grilled them up. As for the vegetables those were sprinkled with a bit of garlic salt and some vegetable season medley I had gotten as a stocking stuffer last Christmas from Shari. Mushrooms, bell peppers and red onions were added to the grill.
For a side we pan grilled some black beans with jalapeno's and garlic and added a dollop of sour cream for a cooling agent. I also had some nice soft Italian bread from Stop and Shop, so I made up some quick large chunk garlic bread.

It is so much fun to grill outside in the back yard with family, fireflies and the bats. Summer, we missed you!
