Broccoli Salad

This dandy gets devoured at 3-4 family parties every summer.
I get special requests for it from my father in law. It's delish!

1/2 lb bacon cooked and crumbled
4 C. finely chopped fresh broccoli
1/2 c. chopped red onions
1 c. sunflower seeds
1/4 c. sugar
1 c. mayo
1 Tbsp. sour cream
2 Tbsp vinegar

The first four ingredients are the salad makings. Mix the second four together for the dressing. Toss salad and dressing together and enjoy!!

Shish-Kabobs

1 Pound Meat of your choice (chicken, steak, etc.)
1 Green Pepper
1 Red or Yellow Pepper
1 Onion Chopped
1 Cup Grape Tomatoes
1 small Zucchini

Cut meat into 1" bite size pieces and marinade in meat marinade prior to making Kabobs. Chop vegetables into 1-2" bite size pieces and if desired make an additional batch of meat marinade and place veggies in marinade separate from meat. Take skewers and if using wooden skewers place them in water for 10-20 minutes to soak them to avoid them burning while cooking. Then Alternate meat and vegetables onto skewers. Then cook on BBQ grill until meat is done.

You can also make variations to this making just meat kabobs, or just veggie Kabobs, and you can add different vegetables according to your taste. We love to do fresh pineapples kabobs as well, the grilled pineapple is wonderful as are grilled shrimp kabobs. Be creative and enjoy the BBQ season!
