If you are grilling, why not grill your salad, as well?

Steak & Potato Skewers With Rosemary Chimichurri
For the meat and potatoes guy. You start with filet. Enough said, right? The Chimichurri sauce is the icing on the cake, I mean steak!

Marinated Cherry Tomatoes With Burrata
Just add some crusty grilled bread for scooping and dipping. Makes a great appetizer.

Smokey, spicy, delicious. One could use thighs for extra juiciness or breasts. The marinade makes it all taste fabulous!

Decadent and oh so Dad worthy!

I grew up on Garlic Bread at every BBQ. None of it looked as good as this. (Sorry Mom)

Bourbon in barbecue sauce? Oh Yes, please! You just can't have too many skewer recipes. This one had me at "bacon."
