Here in Texas, the warm weather is just starting to give way to cooler temps, so we’re finding ourselves being able to enjoy the outdoors more often! This means plenty of card playing on the porch, watching our pup race around the yard, and getting our last uses out of the grill before it gets brisk.

Grilled kebabs are one of my favorite weeknight meals and are a good way to use up whatever’s in the fridge! Recently, I had plenty of peppers, tomatoes, and fresh herbs on hand, so I decided to combine them with a spicy marinated chicken. Delish!

Mmm, scrumptious sizzlin’ kebabs! Layered together and cooked at high heat, all the ingredients become incredibly tender and flavorful. I love to serve them with crisp lemon potatoes, a big pile of rice, or a fresh leafy salad.

I also served the kebabs and potatoes with plain yogurt mixed with fresh cilantro. It made for a light, refreshing accompaniment to an already delicious meal!

    This really does sound delicious, love the idea of that spicy marinade! (And I can’t tell you how much I wish I was in Texas right now, the weather in England is so miserable!)

  2. Looks beuatiful- love all the colors!

  3. This makes me so sad for grilling season to end. We’re enjoying what I think will be our last warm days. It’ll be down in the 40s before long, and let’s not even talk about how low it will go after that. I hate winter!

  4. That marinade sounds fantastic! What a tasty meal!

  5. I love seeing a grilled recipe in fall! It’s a bit hot out here in LA too so I can totally make this over the weekend! And that simple yogurt-cilantro dip seems like the perfect accompaniment!

  6. I think we are supposed to have one more surprise warm day here in Wisconsins so grilling sounds devine! I love the spicy kebabs mixed with the cooling yogurt :)
