Sweet Italian Sausage Kabob

I love the flavor the red onion brings to the kabob. It's so sweet against the flavor of the sausage that it's a beautiful masterpiece in your mouth!

INGREDIENTS:
1 package sweet italian sausage
1 red onion cut into large pieces
2 zucchini sliced 1/4in think
olive oil
1 clove fresh garlic, minced

1. At least 2 hours before cooking, slice everything up and place it in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and mince your garlic. Give it a good stir and let it sit all day or for at least 1-2 hours.
2. Layer your ingredients on a wooden skewer. Cook on medium heat for 12-14 minutes, turn the kabobs and cook an additional 10-12 minutes or until sausage is fully cooked. Serve hot.

Favorite Summer Potatoes

I was in need of some new recipes for summer. In the mail came my first issue of Everyday Food after cashing in my Stoneyfield Rewards for a subscription. As I flipped through the pages this recipe caught my eye. This recipe isn't new under the sun, but it's new in our house. We don't eat a lot of potatoes, but we do enjoy them.
Well we couldn't get enough!! They were so delicious! I set 3 aside from our dinner to turn into home fries for breakfast tomorrow.

INGREDIENTS:
1 lb small (baby) red potatoes
Olive oil
Sea salt
Light sour cream
Chives or green onions, diced

 1. Clean your potatoes well. I put them in a colandar, spray they with straight vinegar (I keep this in a spray bottle to clean all my produce) and let sit for 30 seconds. Rinse each one, scrubbing them with your hands or a brush.
2. Place potatoes on a large piece parchment lined foil. Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil and douse with sea salt. Grill them on medium-high heat until potatoes are tender, about 25-30 minutes. Serve with sour cream and chives.

Raspberry ice cubes

The kids and I were busy picking raspberries at Mood's Farm in NJ. Alex and I love them, but once you wash them they turn quickly. We couldn't eat them fast enough before mold spores began growing. That's when I got this idea...
Throw out the bad ones and place the good ones in an ice cube tray. Fill with water and freeze. Once frozen store in a ziplock bag in the freezer.

Use these wonderful ice cubes in fun summer drinks such as, The Frenchy, which is 1 1/2 oz Pear Vodka, 3 oz Pineapple Juice, and 1 oz Cranberry Juice. Or you can try it in this, Summer Pineapple Strawberry Cooler (pictured below).
