Veggie Corn Skewers

  Veggie Corn Skewers
Prep time: 10 minutes       Grill time: 10 minutes 

  I love to make grilled veggie skewers.  I usually do a mixture of onions, peppers, and some kind of fruit like peaches for example.  This recipe is made with a mixture of vegetables and also corn on the cob.  The trickiest part was getting the corn on the cob onto the wooden skewers. I used a knife to precut a hole before inserting the skewer.  Be careful when cutting the corn because it is challenging. After cooking, I like to serve with chicken or fish.  The guests can slide the veggies off when they are ready to eat. It makes a great grilling side dish. 

Tip: Soak your wooden skewers in water prior to placing the food on them, and it will be easier to make.  

Healthy tip: Bright colored vegetables tend to have the most nutrients.  Look for a mixture of orange, yellow, red, and green when making a vegetable dish.  


Ingredients: 
  • 1 bag of sweet bell peppers or mini sweet peppers
  • 5-6 zucchini cut into 1 inch rounds
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 large white onion cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 3 corn on the cobs, not cooked cut into 2 inch rounds
  • bamboo skewers 
  • Balsamic vinegar dressing or Italian 

Recipe: 
  1. Layer the vegetables on the skewer, aim for about 6 pieces on each skewer. 
  2. Drizzles balsamic vinegar dressing or Italian dressing on each skewer. 
  3. Grill individually for about 5-10 minutes until the veggies and corn are soft but not burned. 
  4. Serve hot with chicken or fish in the summer.

Grilled Cilantro Garlic Wings with a Cucumber Jalapeño Dip

Grilled Cilantro Garlic Wings with a Cucumber Jalapeño Dip
Time: 25 minutes 

  Grilled wings are so tasty, and really easy to cook.  I love this combination of garlic with the cilantro.  The cucumber dip is made with yogurt and adds a cooling contrast with the spicy jalapeño. Serve it with a fresh summer salad of chopped garden vegetables, dressed with olive oil. These can also be baked but they definitely come out crispier on the grill. 

Tip: Make sure the chicken is cooked through on the grill by cutting a knife into one of the wings, and making sure all of the pink meat is gone.  

Healthy tip: When you grill or bake chicken there is no need to coat it in flour or fry it.  This is healthier for you, and you still get the crispy texture from the heat. 


Ingredients: 
  • 1 package of organic chicken wings with skin 
  • 1 cup of greek yogurt
  • 1 jalapeño pepper
  • 1/2 cucumber chopped without skin 
  • 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 Tbsp of roasted garlic pieces 
  • sea salt, ground pepper, olive oil 
  • 1/2 squeezed lime juice

Recipe: 
  1. Lay all of the wings out in a glass baking dish. Drizzle them with olive oil. 
  2. Sprinkle sea salt on top, and ground pepper. 
  3. Add the garlic, majority of the cilantro into the baking dish, mix with a spoon to cover the chicken. 
  4. Grill for about 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and crispy. 

Dip Recipe: 
  1. In a bowl, combine the jalapeño pepper without the seeds, cucumber, lime juice and greek yogurt.  Mix well. 
  2. Add the leftover cilantro on top. 
  3. Serve as a dipping sauce with the wings.
