Seafood Kabobs

Disclosure- I received the mentioned product courtesy of the sponsor for the the purpose of this review. All opinions are genuine, based on my experience with the product, and have not been influenced by promotional items.

It's been unseasonably chilly here for the month of June, so my poor little grill hasn't been put to work much this summer. I love grilled veggies this time of the year, and we used to make kebobs all the time last summer with garden fresh produce. But this year we won't have as big of a garden as previous years, so the grill will be getting used less frequently than normal. Even though I didn't have any veggies to toss on there this week, I did end up fishing some tuna steaks out of the freezer that needed to be used up and thought it would be a great time to try these Seafood Kabobs from Golden Blossom Honey. It's a recipe that I have had saved for a few years, but with Father's Day this weekend, this was a perfect time to dust it off and make an early celebratory dinner for Jason since we'll be in Chicago this weekend, so no home cooked meals for him this year.

I know some people take their grilling very seriously, so if you're looking for a complicated recipe, this is not one for you. But if you're like me and want to make quick work of getting the food on the table, you've come to the right place. Aside from the 1 hour marinating time, these kabobs were skewered, grilled, and ready to serve in 15 minutes. This is a low-key grilling recipe that I am totally here for! Seafood isn't something that I cook often at our house, so Jason tends to order it frequently when we dine out. But, even for a girl who doesn't typically care for seafood, I very much enjoyed these kabobs and can see myself making them a few more times this grilling season, which will make the husband quite pleased, I'm sure.

Get Fired Up For Marinated Flank Steak

*Disclosure- I received the mentioned product courtesy of the sponsor for the purpose of this review. All opinions are genuine, based on my experience with the product, and have not been influenced by promotional items.

Why is it when someone says you can't do something, the desire to do it magnifies by a billion? Like, when you have a scheduled surgery and can't eat for 24 hours? I feel like I'm dying at the 2 hour mark. But on a normal day, I can easily skip meals without a second thought. It's ridiculous how the mind works sometimes. If you follow my Instastories, you know that I had to fast in May and again earlier this month for a few minor surgeries I had to have done. When that happens, I usually plan dinners ahead and make sure I put something on the menu for the family that I normally wouldn't eat. My family loves steak, so on my last round of fasting, I thought I'd treat them all to this Marinated Flank Steak from Golden Blossom Honey.

I don't know if it's because they don't get steak often or what, but the family devoured their portions in no time. For me, I love grilling season because it means I can just fire up the grill and have dinner done in a snap. No pots and pans to scrub, no stove to clean. And best of all, the house doesn't get hot from oven heat. Short of marinating time, you can have this flank steak on the table in about 10 minutes. Toss a few ears of corn on the grill and set out a side salad, and you've got the most perfect summertime meal.

Ingredients

3/4 cup canned Mandarin oranges, drained
4 scallions chopped
1/4 cup light soy sauce
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 Tablespoon GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY
3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
2 Tablespoons sherry
2 pounds flank steak

Homemade Sweet & Tangy BBQ Sauce

Did anyone grill on Memorial Day? It was cold, it was rainy, and it was miserable here this year. However, we didn't let that stop us from firing up the grill. We love ribs and used to get them from this little mom and pop setup until they went out of business a few years back. The meat was just ehhh, but their sauce was top notch, and sadly we have yet to find anyone else whose sauce compares. Since then, I have been experimenting with different homemade recipes and have found one that I think beats all others. I wouldn't dream of using any old sauce out of a bottle now. It's homemade all the way! This Sweet & Tangy BBQ Sauce will tickle your taste buds and will have you craving BBQ year round!
