Garlic Butter Shish Kabob

Looking for the perfect summer dish to kick off all your summer bonfires and gatherings? Today I bring you just such an item, Garlic, and butter vegetable shish-kabobs. They are highly delicious and highly nutritious, as well as quick on prep and cook time.  These brightly colored vegetables are packed with flavor and will light up any dull plate. To start this dish you will need to buy fresh, ripe vegetables from your local farmers market* or store. For these kabobs, I decided to use yellow and green zucchini, crisp bell peppers, yellow onions, and brown mushrooms. I would recommend experimenting with different spices and vegetables to find the perfect kabob for you. 


Ingredients 

  • yellow zucchini and green zucchini
  • fresh bell peppers
  • baby bella mushrooms
  • yellow onion 
Seasonings 

Directions 

  1.  To start your Kabobs you will need to preheat your grill to 350f-400f whether this is an electric grill or charcoal it is important to monitor your temperature to ensure even cooking. By preheating your grill and getting the metal grates hot you will get the nice grill markings through your vegetables. 
  2. The next step is to evenly cut your vegetables and spread them across your metal skewers so that they cook evenly and can be easily rotated. 
  3. Once you have secured your vegetables along the skewers place them in a metal pan. You will now want to melt your vegan butter and crush your garlic. Mix together in a small bowl the melted butter, garlic, and spices and brush the mixture onto the vegetables until they are well coated. 
  4. They are now ready to be placed on the grill. Place on the top rack of grill and flip every five minutes or so until evenly cooked and tender enough for your liking.

Vanilla Cinnamon Poached Pears

Everybody loves sweet treats right? So what is better than a sweet dessert involving fruit, vanilla notes, and cinnamon spice? Nothing screams sweater weather more than a warm poached pear drizzled in cinnamon and vanilla spices. One of the reasons I love this recipe is its simplicity, it has minimal steps and ingredients making it a go-to treat. When poaching pears you want to make sure you have the right type of pear for your poaching style as they all cook differently, and they all have different flavors. The pear type I would recommend for this recipe is a bosc pear. They have a yellowy-brownish color and have a slimmer more elegant shape. These pears are going to stay more tender, and hold flavor better,  as well as hold their shape.   Poached Pears  1 Tbls. of vanilla extract or 1 tsp. of vanilla paste 1 cup of sugar 4 cups of water 4 Bosc pears  2 Tbls. of Cinnamon  Step 1  Bring the four cups of water to a boil in...

Vegan Vegetable Stew

Since my last post was on "How to Make Your Own Vegetable Stock," it seemed only fitting that this week I share a recipe with you guys that uses the very same stock. As the weather here in my home town Fort Wayne, Indiana has been very chilly, (-10F) I thought what better to eat than a steaming bowl of some hearty, filling stew? For convenience, I cooked this in the Crock-pot, and let the soup simmer all day soaking up the flavors. However, this is definitely something you could cook over the stove if you don't own a Crock-Pot. So let's get to making this delicious stew! Ingredients:  2 1/2 quarts of vegetable stock  1/2 of a large red or yellow onion (your choice)  3 large peeled carrots sliced thinly 3 stalks of celery diced 3 large potatoes peeled and diced 2 crushed garlic cloves  a few sprigs of thyme 1 Tblsp of salt  1 cup of uncooked barley  Directions:  To start the soup you will need to pour the ...
