Grilled Cabbage

If you aren't cooking cabbage on the grill, it's time to start. This simple grilled cabbage made with just four ingredients is seriously so good. The cabbage gets sweet as it cooks, smoky from the grill, and the crispy edges are worth fighting for. Serve it's with some Grilled Chicken or Pork for an easy outdoor meal.  As the warm weather continues, my quest to grill every vegetable  continues and this cabbage on the grill is quickly becoming a favorite. It takes only a couple of minutes to prepare and is seriously the best cabbage you will ever eat. With the browned, crispy edges and tender crisp center - this is cabbage that everyone will love.  The other great thing about cabbage is that it is affordable, lasts for a long time, and can work with almost any spice blend. While grill seasoning is my current favorite with a lot of black pepper, you can try out all different options since cabbage is such a blank canvas. It also stands up well to marinades, vinaigrettes,

Ham and Cheese Egg Muffins

Egg Muffins with ham, tomatoes, spinach, and plenty of cheddar cheese should immediately be added to your weekly menu for a grab and go breakfast everyone will love. I have a slight obsession with eggs muffins and make them almost weekly for quick breakfasts and snacks. Truth be told, I probably eat this more often as a post workout snack than I do for breakfast. They are also a great way to clean out your fridge since you can pretty much toss anything in and they will taste delicious. Like many of my egg muffin recipes, this version was created late on Sunday as I was preparing for the week ahead. After a quick revision of the fridge, I immediately knew I needed to use up some leftover deli ham. Since a grilled ham, cheese, and tomato is one of my favorite sandwiches, I used that for inspiration and made an egg muffin with the same delicious ingredients, plus some spinach for greens. Within ten minutes they were in the oven and within 30 minutes, I had breakfast and snacks prepped

Cilantro Lime Chicken Kabobs

Cilantro Lime Chicken Skewers can be made on the grill or in the oven and are packed with flavor from a delicious homemade marinade with fresh cilantro, lime juice, garlic, cumin, and paprika. Pair it with this some Grilled Potatoes  or Street Corn Salad .  When it comes to weekends, I absolutely love firing up the grill and preparing our meal outside. Now to be totally honest, a big part of this is because it means I don't have to do all the cooking. There is always someone happy to take on the grilling duties and I can sit back and relax, preferably with a glass of wine. This past weekend when we decided to spend the day outside, I purposely prepped these kabobs ahead of time along with a chopped salad , guacamole, and baked chips. This guaranteed that once things got started, I could sit back and enjoy instead of running around the kitchen. When it comes to outdoor dining, kabobs really are one of the best options. Not only can they be prepped ahead of time, they feel a litt
