Grilling Like an American

Today was the first time this season we used the grill!  Summer's comin'!  I feel like on Memorial Day you have to grill.  So I did - like a good American.

Vegetable Steak Kabobs
recipe from: http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/vegetable-steak-kabobs




These were so easy it's crazy.  I was expecting the beef to be tough since it was such a cheap cut, but it was really tender.  And the marinade was really delicious - I will definitely be using that marinade recipe again and will be making these again.

Grades:

Megan - A (So tender and flavorful.  The veggies tasted amazing from the grill and marinade as well!)

Noelle - C- (Noelle was not too into this and I'm not sure why.  Maybe because of the marinade flavor?  Maybe because she was SUPER tired when I served it to her?  She started out by trying a mushroom and decided she didn't like it and moved on to steak.  She liked the steak, but said it was chewy.  While she was eating her steak I asked her if she wanted any more mushrooms and she said no.  So, I ate her mushrooms.  When I ate the last one she started crying saying she wanted a mushroom.  Huh?  I thought you didn't like them???  I was able to distract her with some tomatoes.  She really liked the tomatoes and said she didn't want any more steak.  I tried to get her to eat more by eating a small piece myself.  She immediately started crying saying, "I want that steak!  Give me that steak!"  I explained to her that I was chewing it and couldn't give it to her, but she had about 15 other pieces exactly like it on her plate.  But, she really just wanted the one I was chewing and kept saying, "Please mommy.   Give it to me.  I NEED that steak!" while hysterically crying.  Pretty much being the poster child of over-tiredness.  When her tantrum finally calmed down she was through with eating and I was through listening to her craziness.  Dinner over.)
