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.

Mac and Cheese Mushroom Stroganoff

This delicious creamy mushroom filled stroganoff is very similar to a beef stroganoff. One of the key reasons this will taste like a beef stroganoff is because mushrooms have a savory flavor, associated with meats, called umami. When looking to replace beef or any meat in a meal I would highly recommend trying mushrooms, this umami flavor is considered the fifth flavor and is known for its similar taste to meat. Mushrooms are also a very high and natural source for Potassium. By increasing your mushroom intake you will notice a decrease in symptoms of obesity, diabetes, and heart diseases, It also reduces your risk for cancer as it is high in Anti-oxidants, Selenium, and Vitamin D. For this meal you will need the following ingredients... Ingredients  3 cups of uncooked elbow macaroni or small shells 4-5T of lentils  2T of  Nutritional   yeast.  A dash of salt and pepper 1t of cumin  1t of ground mustard 1t of turmeric (for color)  4 cloves of garlic  2T of olive oil  1T
