    chicken kebabs with grilled pinapple, onions, pepper and maybe turkey sausage

    For the chicken, marinate it in equal parts honey, soy sauce, and olive oil and add chopped garlic. Delicious!

    I'm seriously addicted to this right now. It's a Bobby Flay recipe that I converted to be a bit lower in fat/calories.

    Jamaican Jerk Chicken

    Ingredients

    2 Tblspns. Canola Oil
    1 onion, coarsely chopped
    2 scallions, coarsely chopped
    3 Whole Habaneros (Scotch Bonnets)
    1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
    6 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
    1 teaspoon dried Thyme
    1/4 cup red wine vinegar
    1 tablespoon light brown sugar
    1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
    Pinch ground cloves
    1 teaspoon ground allspice
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    2 Tblspns. fresh lime juice
    16 Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs trimmed of fat *OR*
    8 to10 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts hammered out.

    To prepare the jerk chicken:
    Directions

    Puree all the ingredients, except the chicken, in a food processor until almost smooth. Piece the chicken with a fork to make tiny holes. Place the chicken in a large shallow baking dish and rub the marinade into the chicken. Cover and refrigerate for 24 to 48 hours, depending on how intense you want the flavor to be. Preheat grill. Grill chicken on each side for 5 to 6 minutes or until cooked through.

    This is the best ever grill recipe...Bobby Flay's Greek style chicken. My husband and I make it at least once a week, but we use boneless chicken breast and also usually put grape tomatoes on a bamboo skewer instead of plum tomatoes. Don't be put off by the number of ingredients. It's easy enough for a week night meal.

    I spray the grill with some olive oil, then throw the meat on it until it's cooked. Sometimes, I'll throw some vegetables on there too.

    My favorite is steak tip kabobs. I marinate about a pound of steak tips in beef marinade (Stubb's is my favorite because its got a little kick and a whole lot of flavor to it, but any marinade - or no marinade - will do). I cut the steak up into chunks and with long skewers I put on a cherry tomato, a slice of onion, a piece of green pepper, a chunk of steak, and repeat once. Usually this will make you about 6 skewers - great for a dinner for two.

    I grill EVERYTHING! I'm loving Tilapia and salmon, lately. For the Tilapia, just put a little Mrs. Dash or Lemon Pepper on it (OR you can put a lemon pepper marinade on it, as well) wrap it in tinfoil and throw it on the grill. Very tasty! I also like to cut up potatoes and onions, sprinkle Lowry's on them, and spray them w/ No Calorie Spray Butter and wrap them in tinfoil to grill. OR I cut up Zucchini and Squash and carrots, and use the spray butter and Lowry's on THOSE, wrap them in tinfoil and grill'em up. Bacon-wrapped Turkey steaks are really good, too. I get them at Hy-vee. They have Bacon-wrapped Pork Steaks, too. And little ribeyes, as well. :love:

    I make grilled chicken fairly often, I recently tried McCormick Grillmates marinade packets, they come in a packet with herbs and spices and you add oil/vinegar/meat and let them marinate for a while before grilling... the tomato basil garlic one is amazing, Ive tried a few others which were not quite as good, but I'd highly recomend the tomato basil garlic, its also really quick to prep if you dont have much time to spare.

    My favorite thing to do is marinate some pork and chicken, make a big batch of tzatziki, invite some good friends, and have a nice souvlaki fest.

    My marinade is what I call "standard greek marinade": equal parts lemon juice and olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, garlic, pepper, and garlic. Marinate over night.

    Artichokes, but you have to steam them a little first
    Pinneapple with a little sugard free maple syrup glaze
    Sweet potatoes - Sliced like potato chips (you can spritz some olive oil or butter spray on them)
    Mushroom caps

    Arugala is awesome bbq'd, yes it's suppose to wilt and then brush it with a lite pesto or herbs and olive oil

    strawberry/pearl onion/chicken/beef/cherry tomato/avocado kebabs.

    Does the avocado hold up ok on the grill? I never would think to grill it...

    The rest sounds fantastic...I've never grilled strawberries before.
