  4. Kim Guzman

    Yum! I was cooking on the grill this weekend and the coals had more life in them, just the perfect amount for these kabobs. So delicious and the sauce was amazing too. It was even great on the salad. I’ll bet it would be terrific mixed in with mashed potatoes.

  5. Maddie

    This sounds like the perfect reason to pull out the grill. I love the simplicity of ingredients that add up to a complex and full flavor. Thank you for sharing!
