Shish Kebabs Recipe
Grilling recipes are the classic summer recipes to enjoy with family and friends. Whether at a potluck or your backyard patio table, this marinated shish kebab recipe is the perfect addition to your summer favorites like cold spaghetti pasta salad, or Brats and Sauerkraut in a foil packet.
I’m all about fun and engaging twists on classic recipes. This old favorite originates from an old church cookbook. It’s one of our family’s favorite grilled dinners. The kids love finding their favorite parts of the kebab and the stuff they don’t want…well, they push it over to my plate. I’m perfectly fine with that because I love everything about these.
