Tasty Tuesday: Agave Roasted Potatoes and Adobo Lemon Onions

The summer time is all about turning on the grill and making dinner happen outside! Last night we made a pork loin with these two delicious sides! We completely destroyed the potatoes and ate the entire package! So freaking good! And I can't even begin to tell you about the onions! It's a recipe that Briam's family uses all the time! Each time his dad grills, there are onions involved. So simple, 3 ingredients. But trust me, you'll never want to eat onions any other way again! It's the only way for me to eat an entire onion. For real. I go to town on the onions. I hope you guys had a great Memorial Day (my birthday!, this year anyway) and will try these recipes in the future! Enjoy! 

Tasty Tuesday: Grilled Sides and CHOCOLATE!!!

I have to admit, these recipes are partially inspired by my stepmom. She makes the best grilled carrots and her and my dad make the best grilling team! Even if it is just for the family on the front porch. And on top of that I was kinda of jealous that my cat didn't get me anything for Mother's Day and my stepmom got these delicious chocolate covered strawberries from Edible Arrangements. You would think my cat would know how to order a present online by now... 

So anyways, last night I was in the grilling mood... And by that I mean I wanted my food to be grilled so Briam had to cook! I'm not a woman of the grill.. or fire. But he loves it so it works out for both of us. We grilled carrots, potatoes, and a giant pork loin that cam in a package so there's no recipe for that because, well, I bought it already fancied up. And with grilling season finally showing up, these recipes are perfect for a hot spring/summer night!

Recipe: BBQ Steak Kabobs

I was basically raised on steak and potatoes. I loved it. Maybe not the best, but to me, it was heaven. This recipe brought me right back to my childhood. These super easy steak and potato kabobs are the perfect way to end the summer grilling season right! 

Ingredients:

3 C Steak - 1" pieces

2 C Small Potatoes

1 C BBQ Sauce

1 Shallot - diced 

1 C Baby Bella Mushrooms - diced 

3-4 tbsp Butter 

Optional:

Leftovers for cooking

Directions:

1. Cut up your steak into 1 inch cubes. Place in a bowl and marinate with the BBQ sauce for at least 2 hours. I waited about 4. 

2. When it's time to grill, load up your kabobs by alternating between the potatoes and the steak. I used 4 kabobs but you could make however many you need or want!

3. Grill for about 15-20 minutes. Go ahead and prep and left over meat and the leftovers you want to cook inside aluminum foil "tent bowls" and place on the grill as well. 

4. While the kabobs are grilling, go ahead and chop your shallot and mushrooms. On medium high heat, sauté them until they are nice and tender. 

5. Once the kabobs are done, pull them off the stick and put them on a plate. Top with your leftovers, extra meat, and mushroom/shallot topping.
