Grill Some Seasonal Favorites

Grilled fruit
Vegetables are often included when planning a menu on the grill. But stone fruits aren’t typically the first thing you consider grilling. Their sweetness intensifies as the natural sugars caramelize. If you don’t try grilled fruit, you’re missing out on something DELICIOUS!

Rather than take a long time cooking a whole pork loin, cut it in cubes and thread it with pieces of seasonal vegetables and fruits for the perfect kabobs. Grill some extra skewers and serve atop a salad for lunch the next day. Eating healthier is simple if you plan your meals and choose to include lots of fruits and veggies.
Kabobs are an easy summertime meal with a variety of flavor combinations.
