Mom's Favorite Kabobs

The calendar page swished over to September and zap! Warp speed running as we try to get back into the groove of a regular schedule. We have a looming cookbook deadline at the end of the month and that means craziness at our house with a capital C!

Pork Kabobs
What’s for dinner? This time of year, we have grilled about one too many burgers and I struggle to think of something different.

Pork tenderloin is one of my go-to easy-to-fix dinners. But, this time of year, the heat seems to squash that idea. While quick and easy, leaving the pork tenderloin whole to roast or grill takes a bit of time. So, kabobs to the rescue. [Read more…]
