What’s on the menu:

Grilled Corn On The Cob

Veggie Kabobs
Grilled Chicken Breasts

Crisp Watermelon Slices

Grilled Corn On The Cob

Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients:

8 Ears of corn

Kosher salt

Heat the grill to medium. Pull the outer husks down the ear to the base. Strip away the silk from each ear of corn by hand. Fold husks back into place, and place the ears of corn in a large bowl of cold water with 1 tablespoon of salt for 10 minutes.

Remove corn from water and shake off excess. Place the corn on the grill, close the cover and grill for 15 to 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, or until kernels are tender when pierced with a paring knife. Remove the husks and eat on the cob or remove the kernels.

Veggie Kabobs
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

8 wooden or bamboo skewers, pre-soaked in water

2 zucchinis, cut into 1-inch slices

2 yellow squash, cut into 1-inch slices

1/2 pound whole fresh mushrooms

1 red onion, cut into chunks

12 cherry tomatoes

1 fresh pineapple, cut into chunks

1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks

1/3 cup olive oil

1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil

3/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Alternately thread zucchini slices, yellow squash slices, mushrooms, onion, tomatoes, pineapple, and bell pepper onto the pre-soaked skewers. Whisk olive oil, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a bowl; brush mixture over vegetables.

Cook skewers on preheated grill until vegetables are tender, turning and basting vegetables with olive oil mixture occasionally, 10 to 15 minutes.

Ingredients


4 skinless, boneless chicken breast


1/2 cup lemon juice


1/2 teaspoon onion powder
